Sometimes there's a metal bar at the edge of the bed that is lower than the rest of the underneath space. You might try lifting the edge of the bed then slide your suitcase underneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must have inadvertently disconnected the beds when we did it b/c some time during the night, the beds separated and a vast abyss developed between the 2 beds ! The room attendant fixed it the next day and we had a good laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Luggage is too thick and does fit anyway, it's the style with spinner wheels sticking out, so it goes in the Closet Some have reported opening their suitcase, laying it open, and then storing it under the bed. They are able to use the suitcase as a laundry hamper as well. Slide it like out a drawer and thrown in the dirty clothes and slide it back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but no these older soft side Sets the Wheel Base sits out so opening them doesnt help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't work for us because we always book small cheap cabins and need all the space we can manage. But for most cruisers, that could solve a problem.
