I swear yall was in the army. I was in 11 years, I pack like this for the field and vacation. Especially the packing list in the phone notes!!! Have one for field packing and vacation packing in my phone
I love they idea of packing a Pre Cruise Bag. I hate unpacking my entire suit case for one night. I plan to use that idea for my cruise in 2 weeks. Thanks!
We did an 8 day on the Celebration right after y’all got off😊. My husband and I would NEVER EVAH be able to pack in the same bag, even on a 3 day trip! I change clothes 2 or 3 times a day. Y’all are some serious magicians! Wait till my hisses this😂 Pro tip-Fold between or roll, jellyroll style your easily wrinkled attire plastic bags(dry cleaning bags are best) and it will reduce or eliminate wrinkles.
@LifeWithUsTV question for you guys , I'm doing a destination birthday in April.. first time going on a cruise. Have you guys been in April? If so how's the weather? 😊
Lynette! Thank you! Packing a pre cruise packing cube that includes everything required that cruise day morning is such a great idea! You even included sleep attire 🤯. I never thought of that. Cruising in September and I will be in a hotel the night before. Will let you know!
This is much appreciated (especially from a women’s perspective). I’ve travelled (for land trips mostly) and never seem to make it under the 50 lb. make 85% of the time, having to pay extra even after weighing my luggage 😩 (and it’s just me alone 🥴🤦🏾♀️). Safe travels always and thanks again for making sure we’re good on our voyages 👍🏾
Thank you for the tip of the small bottle for the dish detergent, because even the mini bottle is too big. I will just buy a smaller travel size bottle and fill it with dish detergent I already have at home.
I’m going on a cruise next year and I’m trying to learn so much because last time I went on a cruise I was 13 lol and now I have a 3 year old with me and I’m nervous because I dont wanna over pack but I wanna make sure I have all the must have essentials ❤
This is going to help out tremendously..my wife and I will be watching this several times before our upcoming Carnival Celebration Cruise...keep up the great content
Wow, that is a lot. I think I am going to pay my niece to pack my suitcase. Thanks for showing that, especially the folder with the important documents.😊
Love you all and it was so cool seeing you both on a carnival cruise I took last year! Y'all had me laughing with the luggage weight checks😂 Thanks for the tips and I totally understand packing the extras.
Lynette i am.so glad to know i am not the only one who is very organized down to the T when i comes to packing lol i always thought i was doing to much
I refuse to iron on vacation so I always bring an empty squirt bottle on every trip. I will spray whatever I'm wearing the night before with just water, smooth it out, & in the morning, all the wrinkles are gone & water is free.
Hi Stanley and Lynette! Newer subscribers here. This is the third video of you all's I've watched! Thanks for all the cruising tips. They are very helpful for someone like my hubby who has never cruised and also for myself who haven't cruised in over 10 years! Thanks again and enjoy yourselves. I look forward to checking out more of your videos 😊
I just started watching you two. Love your vibe, I’m taking my twin boys on a cruise for their graduation. Wish, I saw you before I booked. We go June 10th-15th.
Hey guys. Why have I never thought to put jewelry in purses? Great idea. I like rolling too. Less creases and wrinkles. Can fold too depending on the material. Yes. Sometimes gotta get the elegant night dresses or suits pressed. It’s stressful when elegant night is night 2 cuz not guaranteed to get it back in time. Yes. I make a list. Oh yes. We have a scale. Seriously asking. Dish detergent? Is that to wash the suspect glasses 🥃in the room? Never thought of bringing thank you cards. Dollar tree hello. I usually write my thank yous on the envelope. Been traveling all my life and you opened my eyes to a few things. Thanks so much.
I did the list on my phone as well and it did me wonders plus y’all tips helped out a whole lot when I subscribed last year. On the side note Stanley nice packing method!
We pack differently based on each cruise. Rarely we will fly but as ya know, that 50 pound weight limit lol. We also bought hard shell suitcases.. bad idea. Got damaged in the transition of baggage claim. Even worse condition getting on the cruise. Thank the lord for duck tape. Wheels broke off. It was bad.. this was a great video and packing cubes are the jam and thirty-one bags for the hotel..
Loved watching yall pack! My 9 year old and I will be doing this 6day sailing in July - with 2 personal items and one checked bag (carry on size) that must be under 40 lbs 😬 #FlyFrontier
I’d love to talk with you guys! My husband, myself and two of our friends with be cruising for the first time in 20 days and us wives are stressed on this packing situation.
This may be a stupid question and I apologize in advance. For the carry on bag, as far as toiletries go, it has to be TSA approved? And the checked luggage we can pack full size bottles? (Shampoo, conditioner, body wash).
Ms. Lanette and Mr Stanley, I have a quick question. I leave for the Mediterranean cruise on Aug 4th from Rome to the port of Rome. My scheduled pickup time from the hotel is 700am but my boarding time on Royal Carribean Odyssey of the seas is 1100am. There is one later pickup time at 930 am. I know you always say leave earlier than late. Which transfer time would you suggest leaving from city center in Rome, to head to the port? 700am of 930am? Thank you so much for the advice!! This is my first cruise so I am nervous as a cat!!!
This a great vídeo with some good packing tips. Question. What does Stanley use for the packing list? Is that an app? I always create a list but I find that one more useful. FYI. I got my wife the same bag Lynette recommended and uses and she loves it.
Love how you roll outfits together. I'm cruising for 8days, this just got me some extra space. Great tip on grabbing some silverware packets. Great video as always!!
Can you please tell me where did you get that charger? I have one but not quite as fancy as that one you have. I can use it for my next family cruise at the end of December on the Carnival Celebration. Thanks so much in advance😀.
Heyyy I just saw yaw caR i saw u r beige grey green with subscribe on the side car come down my road i had an orange red dress in my area. N there I am running after the car a few minutes ago . With my little dog yaw went in McDonald's in po and I missed u. . Wow I had to let u know. I've watched u all for years n ur wedding which was awesome.
Love your videos! They have been so helpful. Going on our first cruise on Thursday & I will 100% say you 2 helped me & my fam be prepared! Question: my hubby & I are using 1 large piece of luggage (it fit the size requirement 👍🏾) but it does feel a bit heavy. When you weighed your luggage, was that to ensure you met the airplane weight limit or the ship? We are driving to S.C. so we don’t need to worry about flight stuff. Thanks for all your help!

That’s what I said too
Awesome idea. She also included sleep attire and swimwear. Trying this out next month.
The socks and jewelry in the shoes is a good idea. I never thought about that

I feel you! 😂 I’m always right at the limit.
Sharing this with my fam now for our cruise next month… Almost forgot to separate our pre hotel clothes etc…Thanks for the tips
Thank you for the tip of the small bottle for the dish detergent, because even the mini bottle is too big. I will just buy a smaller travel size bottle and fill it with dish detergent I already have at home.
I'm new to the channel, and I love it! I'm taking my first cruise soon and you all have helped me tremendously! Keep the content coming!

@@MrMegdamlat I used all.Shein bags and everything fitted perfect
Thank you guys I really appreciate that you took time to show me how to pack.
Been binge watching, getting prepared for our honeymoon cruise next October
I’m definitely gonna combine both of yall ways to pack. Yall definitely more efficient than what I was doin!!!

THis was so helpful and relatable Thanks for letting us get a glimpse of some real packing!
Separate cube for day before. Smart!
Yes I put exactly like this. So convenient. I did a jewelry box for my $2 bling.
Wonderful!! Absolutely needed. Thank you both much!!
Thanks so much for this video it will help me out a lot when I have to pack for me and my husband
Thank you fam because my pile looks like a lot but now I feel better and will roll my stuff like Lynette. This is very informative.
Great tips fam! I especially love the plastic utensil idea.
Wow, that is a lot. I think I am going to pay my niece to pack my suitcase. Thanks for showing that, especially the folder with the important documents.😊

Heyyyy fam. Yes, we bring Dawn to clean our cups, straws, their cups etc. Yep, I stuff jewelry anywhere it will fit lol.
I love the video, it's on my save list.
Going on my first cruise June 2nd on the Panorama. You guys videos have been a big help, can’t wait to use a lot of the info. Appreciate yall
For your shoes use plastic shower caps or shopping bags. Helps to catch the debris from your shoes so it won't be on your clothes.
I do once I’ve worn them and have to repack otherwise they get washed and packed.
Thank you for this video because my husband needed to see how to properly fold his shirts.
We have used Downy Wrinkle Release for 10 years...don't even use an iron anymore!
I did the list on my phone as well and it did me wonders plus y’all tips helped out a whole lot when I subscribed last year. On the side note Stanley nice packing method!

Omg! Level 8 holds up and London Fog
Lynette what's the brand on the hair glaze stuff you mentioned? Looking for a new hair moisturizer.
Ogx Deep penetrating Argan Oil and Spray!! I have to make my own Rose Water, only Trader Joe roses work on my hair though lol
Thank you
I'm on the carnival Mardi Gras June 22nd and I'm watching 👀 this from Philadelphia Pa.
this is so cool because I just found you guys and we are going on the Magic in August!

Cool video this the first one I seen when they show men how to pack. Thanks family, P.S. what size was the carryon backpack large or XL
XL ✔️
Ok, nice behind the scenes video..👍🏽
Thanks for sharing this video. I really enjoyed it.❤
I’d love to talk with you guys! My husband, myself and two of our friends with be cruising for the first time in 20 days and us wives are stressed on this packing situation.
Don’t overthink it, just be prepared with the basics.
Great idea to pick entire out together.
I'm going on 7 day sailing, on Harmony of the seas. June 9th.
I'm going on the celebration June 1st
How do you pack your sodas? Can you take water too or do you order from Carnival? Let me know traveling soon.. Thanks
Soda - carry on. Cannot take bottled water onboard
This may be a stupid question and I apologize in advance. For the carry on bag, as far as toiletries go, it has to be TSA approved? And the checked luggage we can pack full size bottles? (Shampoo, conditioner, body wash).
The cruise doesn’t have the same size limits as a flight. You can bring full size
@@LifeWithUsTV wow, thank you! 🙏🏼
I see you don't use packing cubes. Are they really helpful? Is rolling or folding more efficient?
Packing cubes take up more space in my opinion
I’m going on 5 day dec 7th
Heyyyyyyyy guys!!! Finally going to my carnival cruise in 2026 in April! Finally booked it❤
Love the real time packing video! Do you ever use packing cubes? Enjoy your channel, much love!
Nah, they take up more space in my opinion.
Always good information
I’m on a 6 day on Celebration June 9. Hope I run into y’all if y’all on the same sailing✌🏾
I got almost everything I'm July . I am ready
Thank you sooooo much for this!!! Yall are the best ❤️❤️❤️

9:30 but if you are extremely nervous go early and hangout at the port
@@LifeWithUsTV ok thank you!!!!
Is this in a checked bag or a carry on? My goal is to use a 20in carry on and my personal bag only (I'd be flying)
Checked ✔️
Hold up do I need to bring hard bottoms
Stanley where do you shop? My guy dresses similar to you. I need to get him that white night fit and some tees. They are fire🔥
The wifey lol. Usually SHEIN, fashion nova men or amazon
This a great vídeo with some good packing tips. Question. What does Stanley use for the packing list? Is that an app? I always create a list but I find that one more useful. FYI. I got my wife the same bag Lynette recommended and uses and she loves it.
Apple notes. We have a packing list on our cruise essentials page codefuntravel.com
@@LifeWithUsTV I have android. But found Samsung has notes as well with the same feature. I'm a happy camper now. Thx
Love how you roll outfits together. I'm cruising for 8days, this just got me some extra space. Great tip on grabbing some silverware packets. Great video as always!!
Can we discuss how to get Global Entry
how much should you tip cabin steward for a 5 night cruise?
$10 to $15 per day
@ thanks!
What about weight. Do you weigh your luggage for airport llimits
Airport limits
Great show very helpful. What size suitcases do you all use here and do you carry any ither bags onboard such as beach bags or etc
28. We only carry on our bookbags.
Went to the Bahamas jan 2024. next one is set for oct 2025. I need to know where Stanley got that formal night shirt from. its fresh as hell.
Amazon ✔️
I would be first to lay my money down if you teach a “How to do groups” for travel agents!” Loved this fun video!

Do your makeup bag and toiletries bag go in your carryon bag?
It did this trip but not usually
Is there any difference between what you would pack for a Carnival Cruise, compared to a Virgin Voyage cruise? Could you do a video for that?
Nope it’s nearly the same
Will be on a Carnival cruise in August. What 3rd party insurance do you recommend?
Insuremytrip.com will be the best way to research what coverage suits your needs.
Great video as usual Fam. Tell Stanley, I'm taking notes 👀 lol
Quick question looking at next cruise. What’s your thoughts on MSC America
We hate MSC. Yikes
@@LifeWithUsTV That’s all I needed
Lol. Beautiful ships thou
Looking at another May cruise for family. Think Celebration again. ABC islands. Like that 8 to 10 port time
Will you be going on Carnivals two new ships Venezia and Firenze?? I will be sailing on Firenze in August so excited!!
At some point but we don’t have immediate plans to
This helps me a lot thank you 🎉
Where do you purchase the air tags for the luggage?
Apple or Amazon from the Apple Store
How do you find out if you have one or two elegant night? 😊
A Travel agent would know and it can be researched to find the info as well on Carnivals site.
Thank you. I have watched your videos and learned alot. You have the best instructions. I am sorry I should have ask this question during Q&A.😮
No worries at all.
I love this video idea because I'm nosey as hell and I'm always asking people "what are you wearing" when we go out 😂😂
Y'all are real pros
My husband is so good at folding. He did both of ours in luggage also. Hope to see ya one day.
Where is the mini microban from??? That's my jam for bad bad germs like norovirus.

Nah throne ain’t in that direction. That’s my office lol
