Bearmama1 Posted May 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Will be traveling on Caribbean Princess 6/2/18. I have always stored my empty suitcases under the bed. I called Princess and agent said 22" of space. Had sent an email to Princess and someone just called me and said "no space" under the bed. Has anyone recently traveled on this ship and can give me an honest answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted May 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We sailed Caribbean Princess March 18 - April 1. We stored our suitcases under the bed as usual. I did see a post by someone who said that, with the new beds, their big suitcase no longer fit under the bed and they had to put it in the closet but all of our luggage fit just fine. We had the new bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no problem stowing a 30” hard suitcase underneath my bed on the Caribbean Princess last month ??? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums It wouldn't be the length - it would be the depth. I would guess the person from Princess who said, "no space" has probably never cruised. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted May 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was on the Caribbean Princess in January we had no problem at all. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted May 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think that it would fit. If it doesn't, you could always open it up and put it under the bed. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted May 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I don’t think the bed frames have changed, just the mattress and bedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getting older slowly Posted May 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2018 In Feb this year with new beds, no problems with big suitcases under bed. We always put the suitcases inside each other ( after unpacking ). Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lola2013 Posted May 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was able to fit my two (VERY LARGE) suitcases in the (VERY LARGE) closet...they fit front to back in the corner of the closet. I was on Caribe deck; not sure if all of the closets are the same size, but it was comparable to closets I've had previously on other decks.

Rare TracieABD Posted May 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We stored a great abundance of luggage under the bed on our cruise on the Caribbean Princess. We do “nest” the luggage first, and then away it goes to under the bed until that awful day when they force us to disembark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyskie Posted May 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Never had a problem-usually 1 large & 2 rolling 20" -plenty of room- on CB at least 4x Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted May 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We put it in the back of the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillslife Posted May 16, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Sometimes they appear not to fit if you just try to push them straight in. But there’s a lip around the bottom of the frame. Just lift that up that a little bit and They will slide right in with plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggprincess2004 Posted May 16, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We have never had a problem storing suitcases under the beds. We tell the cabin steward to take the (old) bedspread away - the new bedding doesn't really involve a bedspread, just a runner that doesn't take up much space under the bed. We prefer hardsided, very lightweight clam shell style suitcases, and on our longer cruises, use them as an additional "drawer" under the bed, placing them opened with shoes and other items arranged for easy access. We still have room to stash the carryon under the beds as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted May 16, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The cabin stewards keep the bedspread under the bed at night. Is Princess still using bedspreads on the older ships ? Our most recent cruises have been three on the Regal. The bed had a duvet and a throw across the bottom of the bed. No ugly quilted bedspreads in sight on the Regal.

alolewis Posted May 16, 2018 #18 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We had to open our suitcases to get them to fit due to the "depth" but 2 large suitcases fit with room for case of water and what the cabin attendant out under the bed.

Bearmama1 Posted May 17, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thank you for all the replies. I feel better and perhaps Princess doesn't encourage their employees to experience their ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolmama_1 Posted May 17, 2018 #22 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Plenty of room under the bed for a hardshell 28in, and another 28in as well as a 20 in. Never been an issue. But as others have said,there is also room in the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted May 17, 2018 #23 Share Posted May 17, 2018 No problem under the bed. You may have to jiggle the bed a little bit to fit the empty suit case underneath, but it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted May 18, 2018 #24 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The first thing we do is take those coverlets off the bed and store them on the closet shelf and tell the steward we never want them or decorative pillows on our bed (hint: they’re not cleaned between cruises). Then I get down on the floor and push the bedding that is stored under the bed (queen duvet if the room is made up as twins and two twin duvets if there’s a queen bed and the associated coverlets) as far toward the head of the bed as possible. This takes a little finagling to get past the supporting bar toward the head. Then there is room to store two large closed suitcases under one bed and one large open suitcase and a roll aboard under the other. There was no change to the bed frame or the space under the bed when the new mattresses were rolled out, so if someone claims they can’t fit suitcases under the beds any longer they simply need to move the stored bedding. And lifting the side of the bed for really large suitcases has always been required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
