clerky96 Posted May 16, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Congratulations! Sounds like you did good. When I cruised for the first time last year, I saw people with 2 bags and a carry-on each. This was for a 7 day cruise. There are 2 of us, and I fully anticipate having 2 large bags (1 for each of us) and 2 carry-ons. We are doing a cruisetour, so have 5 extra days to pack for, plus we are going 2 days early besides.:eek: We plan to try to wear all clothes 2 times so that we don't have to pack quite as much (hope that doesn't offend anyone). Have fun on your cruise. We have 3 weeks and 2 days before we are on our way!:D Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingee Posted May 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I can understand two large suitcases. We are doing a one week cruise also but we will be gone for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWEY Posted May 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I am one of "those" that carries one large bag and one roll on and checks two large bags. Ditto for DH. I always have room in my large bag in case I want to bring something back. If you are squishing, you might want to have some room for the souvineers. IMHO BTW, I will be headed out on 5-18 for Seattle to Alaska. Hope your trip is wonderful! Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerky96 Posted May 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Sooo Claudia, you are one of "those". I cruised last year with my sister and she is also one of "those"! She used one of my tags for one of her bags because she had more bags than she had tags for.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texoma Traveler Posted May 17, 2006 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Okay - I am ready to leave....I am excited:D Do I have to much? We are two and I have 2 bags to check (one is small) and two to carry on!! It seem so much...but I squashed and squashed....any last minute advice will be GREAT! There's three of us and between us all there are 12 bags and none of the ones we are checking are very small. This has been by far the hardest trip I have ever pack for. I think I saw earlier that you will be on Carnival Spirit. If so, look for all the idiots running around with yellow ribbons, dew rags, and leis. That will be the bunch from Cruise Critics roll call. Just come up to any of us and say "hi". Myself and my two cruisemates will be the ones with the yellow leis. Have a safe trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great idea...One pair of jeans for him should be good for 12 days, huh ??? lmbo Swan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSCOTT Posted May 21, 2006 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2006 My hubby and I will be taking a 7-day northbound cruise and each plan on taking one large checked suitcase and a carry-on. One of the carry-on's will pretty much be empty and used for souvenirs. We are also doing a two day pre-cruise in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O babe Posted May 21, 2006 #13 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Will be gone for 10 days and each of us will have a large checked suitcase and a carry on (which will not be so large that it will take all the overhead space leaving no room for other's bags). We too wear things over and try to pack light. I own tons of pairs of shoes, but I don't take them all on vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
