LOL! I thought I packed a lot, I'm a just in case packer also! It was like looking at myself, I pack and unpack just to make everything fit and staying under luggage weight. You are my hero you did great packing in one day, I usually start a least the week before. Also, Love that duffle bag tip Safe Travels.
I just got back from a 9 day cruise. I took 9 dresses which were appropriate for theme night and 7 pairs of shoes (which are all flats). I left my dresses on hangers and put them in my suitcase. I will say I over pack but I never take make up because if you’re lying in the sun your skin tone changes. I never take a blue tooth speaker because you can only use it in your room. I did not bring any sneakers and did not miss them. I bought 7 swimsuits and four cover ups not to mention shorts and tee shirts. Honestly and truly I only dressed for dinner and shows and wore my shorts multiple times along with swapping out the tee shirts. Nobody cares what you’re wearing and they won’t remember. I brought back home so many clothes that I didn’t wear. All this fit in a 22 inch hard side and a medium sized duffle bag. Looking to book my next cruise now. Belated Happy Birthday 🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉
@@DC50Gal Yeah it truly depends on what you’re going to do on the cruise. If you’re laying out by the pool and on the beach the whole time your packing is easy and simple. I only wore clothes during the day for the activities and of course shoes and dinner. But be cold on the ships. I can’t wait for my next trip as well. Thanks for watching.
Love the video. I just love cruising. For future reference they do have laundry room that includes an iron and ironing board free of charge and washers and dryers for a fee until you reach platinum.
I’m an over packer too!! I would be struggling trying to open that duffel bag to get my boarding pass out! Hope you put it in your backpack! Have fun! Happy Birthday!
Looks like me on my 1st cruise last month. My bag was so stuffed and heavy I could barely lift it for the Uber and it was so hard to push on the carpet of the ship. My carry on backpack had tablet, iPad, chargers, purse, essentials, and I was weighed down. I have got to cut back for my next one for real. 😏😝
Lol as I was getting off, y'all were probably getting ready to get on... I was on celebration from 8/25-9/1. My very first cruise ever and it was more than I expected!!!!!!
@@angelaprice6088 yes they turn those ships so fast for the next cruise. Glad you had an awesome time as well. I’ll be showing everything we did in my next vlog
You can always pack an extra flat carry on bag…my sister brought back mad stuff and I brought a beach bag and small things. But if you plan to shop make sure you have room I. Your suitcase or bring a carry on
@@ktaurus510 it does add alot of weight. But have so many toiletry bags and sometimes everything can’t fit I be switching all the time. Depending on how many days I’m gone will determine which one I bring. I made it work with 47 pounds. lol thanks for watching 🫶🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
You had me stressing but you did it!😂... I'm a heavy packer no matter what. I always have a "just in case something 😅" Grab you a scale from TJ Maxx or Marshall. They are inexpensive.
@@ktaurus510 last time I had my huge suitcase for Royal Caribbean it was just really big and the rooms aren’t that big. It takes up a lot of space so I wanted to downsize this time around.
@@ktaurus510 under the bed…hmmm I did see like an extra blanket or something under mines. I gotta see if it will. Fit but it fit perfectly in the closet
@@pamelahairston8966 I actually did. There are shows, there were e elegant nights. If you are crushing you typically change clothes everyday. I don’t sit around in the same clothes all day in that heat. lol everything was needed. I wish I had one more outfit to be honest.
@@neeneebaby225 my bags were pre packed ahead of time. Everything can’t go in until the day of travel. I’m a very busy woman and single mom. I was working up until the last minute and was waiting to film. I got it done. ✅ thanks
Great job lady
Oh My Goodness!!
I Thought I Packed a Lot!
You Will Learn to pare down.
I actually needed another outfit. I always change clothes on the ship for dinner or the night life. I don’t wear the same thing all day.
@@katrinaTravelBae100 i don't either and i don't pack that much lol
I thought I over packed when I went on a 7 night cruise in July, but you got me beat 😊😅
@@lisaadams1249 lol and this wasn’t as much stuff as I took on my Royal Caribbean Cruise. I thought this was light. Lol

OMG so much stuff. I was getting tired just watching 👀 you. But you did it. Bravo 👏🏾
@@valdiva27 5 day cruise with a stop before and I still needed another outfit but I made it work.
I hope you enjoyed your trip!!! Boy I was stressing for you..

@@rjon8253 yes I know that’s gonna be in another video I found out later. And I have a full ship tour coming. Thanks for watching.

@@lmajel53 oh yes it’s always handy never packed down deep

@@katinahurt1224 thank you so much 🙏🏽
I use my scale that i use for my weight. Very accurate
I have NEVER been so invested in getting a bag packed!!😩😩😩 Safe travels!❤
@@kimberlyxavier4394 lol. I didn’t know these videos were so popular. Lol. I was racing against the clock. lol. Thanks for watching. I made it safe.
Happy Birthday!! 🎉 We share the same birthday. Enjoy your trip.
@@98cjam thank you Happy birthday to you as well. What did you do for yours?

@@bethmctv9317 oh yeah mines wasn’t that packed. Lol.
Girl, I'm looking at this and thinking I need a bigger suitcase for my upcoming cruise...
@@DRay-zp9bb 😆 you just might. How many days?
Girl skip this towel clips and get some towel bands. I’m impressed
You got it packed. Did the zipper break? Was it more than 50#?
@@villagecardandcrafts no broken zippers. Suitcase was 47 pounds. Good to go 🙌🏽. Thanks for watching.

Great tips! Was your suitcase over 50lbs? Can’t wait for your vacation footage😊
@@lesliemoore8188 nope it was exactly 46 pounds yay!
Enjoy your birthday
@@jeanannq7081 I really did. Thank you
Question. What if you buy things on the islands. Where do you put them?
You can always pack an extra flat carry on bag…my sister brought back mad stuff and I brought a beach bag and small things. But if you plan to shop make sure you have room I. Your suitcase or bring a carry on
Where did U get that garment bag.Cute Cute
@@pamelahairston8966 thank you it’s down below in the description box linked in my Amazon store and it comes in other colors too.
I have that same Amazon pink hanging bag. I find that it adds A LOT of weight to your luggage. But you packed the hell out of your stuff sis!
@@ktaurus510 it does add alot of weight. But have so many toiletry bags and sometimes everything can’t fit I be switching all the time. Depending on how many days I’m gone will determine which one I bring. I made it work with 47 pounds. lol thanks for watching 🫶🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
@@katrinaTravelBae100I might have to rewatch your vid the next time I go on vacay because I take entirely TOO much and am always at about 47-49 lbs 😂
@@ktaurus510 just making it. Lol. Yeah it’s all about how me pack next time I have to take less shoes too
You had me stressing but you did it!😂... I'm a heavy packer no matter what. I always have a "just in case something 😅" Grab you a scale from TJ Maxx or Marshall. They are inexpensive.
@@dbrown4714 yeah I’m gonna definitely need one since I’m gonna be doing a lot more traveling lol. But was at 47 pounds sheesh I did it 🙌🏽
@@katrinaTravelBae100 awesome!
Packing to go home, I can’t even imagine! A 28” and the duffel would’ve made it a lot easier.
@@ktaurus510 last time I had my huge suitcase for Royal Caribbean it was just really big and the rooms aren’t that big. It takes up a lot of space so I wanted to downsize this time around.
@@katrinaTravelBae100we put ours under the bed (Carnival).
@@ktaurus510 under the bed…hmmm I did see like an extra blanket or something under mines. I gotta see if it will. Fit but it fit perfectly in the closet
What kind of swim shoes are those?
@@asherabram4656 really cute comfortable ones. It’s linked down below in the description box and they have multiple colors
What compression cubes did you use?
@@NicoleMaxwell-p6b sorry for the late reply. I just added it to the description as well. But here are the ones I used. Love them amzn.to/4gnIRvH
Do you have a luggage scale? If not, invest in one they are very inexpensive and accurate.
No I might need to get one since I will traveling a lot more. Thanks
Absolutely, I invested in one from Amazon under $15❤
So essential! Ain’t nobody got time to be rearranging luggage at the airport😅 I bring it with me also, to double check the weight when returning.
@@lesliemoore8188 I just have the small shipping one but definitely getting one for luggage now.
@@Tsimon7 I always have space in my carry on. I only had to take something out once.
What's the name of that garment bag.
It’s linked in the description box below 👇
I was stressed for you
@@maejoe1476 lol I made it work and my suitcase was only 46 pounds
@@katrinaTravelBae100 Great
lol 😂You did it!🤞🏾👍🏾😬😁
So exciting. Happy Birthday 🎉. Are you a Virgo?
Happy birthday. Yes I am Sept 7th
Some carnival ships have ironing rooms free of charge
Yes mines did it will be in my blog. I found out once I got there
Girl you got to many pairs of shoes 😂😂
I know that’s always my issue my mother be like just wear one color. Lol
Why not just use a larger suitcase???
Last cruise I took my larger cuise and it was overweight. I was trying not to have such a huge suitcase this time.
You are not going to where all of those lol

Tip #1 pack the day before you ha leave. 🕑 🙂
