HB Cruiser Posted July 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2014 When do you unpack for a 7 night or longer cruise? a) as soon as the luggage gets to your cabin b) before dinner first night c) after dinner or late first night d) first full day of cruising. e) we don't unpack, we work out of suitcases. I always unpack as soon as possible to let the wrinkles fall out of our clothes but hate wasting time that first day. Just kinda curious.

Tim Typically the first night before we go to bed or the following morning. We usually are out and about checking out the boat and seeing who is performing where the first night. We bring the wrinkle remover spray and just use that as needed for the bad stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We grab a beverage of choice and just dig in. It really doesn't take that long. I do stack things in the suitcase in piles, so it's easy to grab a pile of Tshirts and shove in a drawer. It does take a bit of time to hang up blouses, etc. But I really think it only takes about 15 minutes, and then it's DONE and time to party.

Clarea Posted July 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2014 As soon as possible, hopefully before muster if luggage delivery permits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee1 Posted July 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Like most other responders, as soon as! We usually arrive on ship by lunchtime and as soon as the announcement is made, we go to room, unpack and enjoy the rest of our trip until we have to sadly repack. Don't empty it so quickly once we are home!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2014 As soon as it arrives for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisuretraveler223 Posted July 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2014 As soon as I get in my room. I bring my own bags on, as I can't stand waiting for luggage delivery. I want to get settled and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee1 Posted July 20, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2014 You bring everything carry on?? Couldn't handle that! I thought luggage had to go through security looking for contraband!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelbug11 Posted July 20, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2014 As soon as my bags arrive. I use packing cubes, so just pull them out of the suitcase and put them in the drawers/shelves. Only hang my pants, jacket , since everything else I take is non wrinkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted July 20, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) For all lengths of cruises as soon as our luggage gets to our room which lately has been before 2. That way, everything is put away before muster and we can be on vacation immediately. Edited July 20, 2014 by BND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvetwater Posted July 20, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Carnival offers FTTF (priority luggage) so we got our bags midday after we had discovered the ship and had lunch we then unpacked and still had a full 2 hours before muster and sail away at 4pm. I liked getting unpacked and enjoying the first night. Edited July 20, 2014 by Velvetwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadaboutgal Posted July 20, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 20, 2014 e) we don't unpack, we work out of suitcases-mostly. Everything including makeup and bathroom articles are in their own cases so I do pull those out. Slacks and formals are hung, but most everything else, I leave in the suitcase-not stacked-but "filed" standing in rows in plastic baggies that I can easily see and pull out as needed. Worn items may then go in the closet if I need to have them for another day. Makes it so much easier to leave on the seventh day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieVisi2r Posted July 20, 2014 #23 Share Posted July 20, 2014 a) as soon as the luggage gets to your cabin I've often been travelling for a week or two before hand so its great to bring some order to the chaos that is my suitcase. And just to brag - I'm in Slovakia, working my way through a few European countries to my way Legend in 7 days. yahhh for me!!!!:D And yes my suitcase is already in chaos.

margeecruiser Posted July 20, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 20, 2014 ASAP. I pack for a month, but I can unpack in 10 minutes. Our hanging stuff is already on hangers, so just take it out and it goes right to the closet. I'm not neat, I just fly through it. DH hands me stuff and I stow it. We work as a team. Faster to the alcohol and fun!! I'm so excited, the adrenaline makes it a snap. I don't usually put things away in the bathroom, just get the baggies out of the suitcases and throw them in there. I put things away neatly after sailaway. Margee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
