boatdoc Posted June 6, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2008 6 cruises and counting...less is ALWAYS more! Enjoy!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine's Mom Posted June 6, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2008 It isn't too much if you are driving to the port. If you are flying you better bring extra money. With all the additional costs for each bag and a tip for said bag....my husband is starting to rethink our next cruise. I'll have to see into that and change his mind.

Rare EngIceDave Posted June 6, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I don't remember there being any limits Just keep in mind you gotta stow it all and cabins aren't that big, ya know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonaCK Posted June 6, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 6, 2008 No limits at all on bags :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzdaan Posted June 6, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I agree with the less is more comment. Laundry can be done onboard. Plus with airlines charging for a second checked bag this is a good way to save money that can be spent on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that if you take half what you think you need you will still have twice too many clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUcajunmom Posted June 6, 2008 #12 Share Posted June 6, 2008 what do you mean I think he/she was joking. You can bring as many pieces of luggage as you want when you are driving. Carnival sets no limits. You can put everything away in the closets and put suitcases under the bed. I am a big packer, bringing 1 large suitcase, 1 lg. duffle and make-up case. I hang what needs to be hung, put shoes in closet and live out of the suitcase. Whatever makes you happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workroombee Posted June 6, 2008 #14 Share Posted June 6, 2008 "2 suitcases and a garter bag" Maybe you mean a GARMENT bag? Or a garter BELT? (Those don't take up much room) Sorry---don't want to embarrass you, but I just had to laugh...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for my last cruise (4 days) I had 2 suitcases, 1 large duffel, 1 garment bag & 2 carry-ons. hee hee. Me likes shoooooes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always overpack & have no problem with it. I create a spreadsheet with the anticipated outfits for each part of the day & at least one back up. My last 7 day-er I had 23 pairs of shoes. Some pack light, cool, to each his own. I pack lots & lots.

I pack the night before and take one outfit for each day - beach or pool wear included and formal done in two outfits. I take one suitcase per person plus one for shoes (4 of us in a carrry on size) I have to say though that we fly from Canada and have to haul all of this through probably 3 or 4 airports so not an easy task.

CynLovesCrusing Posted June 6, 2008 #20 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Oh yeah, if I had to fly life would have to be majorly altered, but as of yet, I've never flown to a cruise and unless I cruise from the west coast, I don't plan on it. Thats one of the great thing about cruising isn't it? Everyone can do what suits themselves. Perfect if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect if you ask me! :cool: :cool: You are very fortunate but you sound like you know it and appreciate it unlike so many others who take it for granted. I so much wish I could be in your shoes - our airfare costs us more than the cruise itself but I love it just the same. if I can save money anywhere I will, and right now it is with baggage unfortunately. You sound like you have everything together so go for it. Cindy:cool: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muumuu Posted June 6, 2008 #23 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have learned that less is best. The true test will be in March when I need to pack for hubby and I for 3 weeks vacation, one in Calif and 2 weeks on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkfreeman33 Posted June 6, 2008 #24 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm married 28 years to a man that has lived by the packing rule of......"you pack it - you carry it" After 19 cruises, I only pack what I can carry and it does help with over packing!! So to the OP - can you carry that much luggage? If you can, then you can bring it. If you can't..... I would suggest taking a few items out.

However, we find that we ALWAYS overpack. Last cruise in April we had 4 large bags and two garment bags for 4 people and it was too much as it has been for the previous 8 cruises. There is laundry onboard so you can do some if needed. I know DW always likes to do that on the sea day right beofre we get back so we don't have to do it when we get home. One day we'll learn.
