  • Packing for a cruise?
    Whether you’re boarding a ship, leaving a ship, or traveling to some other fantastic destination, packing is one aspect that can be frustrating. While on the Brilliance of the Seas, I took the opportunity to show you one packing hack I always use to get more clothes in my suitcase, (or in this case: laundry bag). #cruise #travel #hack

    I've never seen the laundry lasagna before. 🤯 It's really difficult for my mind to believe that you got all of those clothes into that bag with room to spare!!! 🤯

      Right!!! I literally just yelled out "SHUT UP!" 😂 This is good to know even just for regular packing.

    Variations of this is also how 1 bag travelers pack clean clothes for their trips. Nice job!

    Hey Morgan, I'm literally doing my laundry in my sink right now, on the very same ship you are on at this moment. My clothes are all quick dry material specifically so that I can do laundry myself. I bought some dry detergent sheets on Amazon which dissolve quickly in the sink. This ships sinks are kinda tiny though. Anyway, the clothes dry overnight.
    Cheers!
    PS-- Looking forward to see what you say about this cruise, since I can compare to my first hand experience.

    I personally hate buffets so that’s a no brainer. Main Dining room for the win. It’s the classic cruise dining experience and service is always wonderful. There’s also the quick service restaurants by the pool which are always open by 11 or 12 on embarkation day. Loco Fresh on Royal is a safe bet for a light lunch.

    Now - if Morgan could teach the cruise lines to NOT shrink our clothes, he would be a true magician!! I have had too many outfits turned into ‘children’s clothes’ in the ship’s laundry - so sadly - no ship’s laundry for me unless I can use a launderette like on Princess or HAL.

    I just realized that with the last laundry bag I did it similarly.
    Starting off with the classical rolling of separate things on earlier cruises (where I also could fit in an incredibIe amount of things) I did "one big, much flatter roll" on the last RCL cruise and managed to get 38 items in.
    Several Jeans, Shirts, pj, underwear, socks.

  • @johnparchman753
    @johnparchman753 2 місяці тому +1

    Short of vacuum packing this is a GREAT tip. I especially like using this for return {sad face} packing. Pro tip - dirty clothes are weigh more than clean clothes. A lot more. By getting laundry service right before debarking you may save yourself an overweight charge from the airlines and the trauma of returning home won't be so bad since your laundry is already done. You spent Thousand$$$$ on your vacation spend $35-$70 to give yourself the "clean clothes on return" experience. money well spent.

    I’ve seen you do this before but this time I paid close attention. I’ll be using this for packing my dirty clothes to bring back home and if I ever pay for laundry on vacation. Thanks for showing it again…not sure why I was so confused about it before. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 😆

    @moritzpila5663 2 місяці тому

    Morgan, I always fold the laundry before putting it in the bag and it does the same as your trick - just as individual items as opposed to one "ball". I have easily gotten up to 46 items in a bag!

  • @DRSmigley
    @DRSmigley 2 місяці тому

    Nice trick Morgan. I think we will try it on our next cruise ( Brilliance in Alaska )
    FYI you could have dumped out the bag, re-fluffed the clothes and demonstrated how they didn't fit in the bag after showing your magic trick.

    Celebrity has a benefit for Elite class... one bag... this will come in handy. As a note.. I bring garbage bags to hold dirty laundry... if I don't get any cleaned on the ship... I pack one suitcase with the dirty... and the second with the cleaner... if there is a lot of dirty and it needs to spill over to the clean case.. I place a garbage bag to separate the cleaner from the dirty.. makes it easier when I get home to identify items to go into the laundry
