It feels fine going to bed, but it's a rough wake up If you just happen to have a measuring tape, and have the time, would you measure the clearance under the bed? DD’s friend has a duffel with a hard frame that measures 14”. I asked on the RCI board, but you’re actually in the right place to check. If you can’t measure it, that’s fine. Don’t want to interfere with your lovely cruise. Mimi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just lift the corner of the bed up a bit, then slip the case under it. Works 99% of the time. Otherwise...those cases get to spend the cruise in the corner...bad cases...bad girls! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I take our regular suitcases, they fit if they are put under bed in open position and not closed (hard sided Briggs and Reilly my wife has). My soft sided will fit closed. Guessing no more than 7 or 8 inches. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser_1977 Posted November 6, 2019 #839 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I was on CocoCay in September. I did not purchase any of the connectivity packages. I was able to text, snapchat, Instagram, check e-mail and use the Internet on my iPhone while there. All of this over WiFi.

We did this once on Grandeur and in the middle of the night I fell into a abyss created when the beds slid apart !! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
