Should I hang up clothes?

[Young-Cruiser]

I am going oon a four day cruise to Cozumel. Should I hang up my clothes or should I leave them in the bag because we will be there for so short of a time?

[firefly333]

I hang mine up. The humidity helps with any packing wrinkles in my tee shirts.

I think you can make your own decision on this.

[huxlemo]

I hang my dress clothes and shirts. Shorts and capris I leave in the suitcase.

[kr8z]

Even if I am just in a hotel for a night I still hang/unpack my clothes. Do whatever is in your comfort level.

[truchattycathy]

I hang up everything and slide the suit case under the bed, out of the way. Use the shelves in the closet for anything that does not hang up.

Since the Elation is a Fantasy class ship and the cabins are smaller you would do better to unpack and get the suitcase under the bed out of the way. If you try to live out of it that would be a pain in the butt in a small cabin.

OP: It is not a camping trip. There is no reason to live out of your bag. Plenty of room to hang clothes and lots of shelf space.

First thing I go is unpack and hang up my clothes. Makes for a more comfortable cruise.

Unpacking and storing your luggage under the bed also makes it easier for your wonderful steward to keep your cabin fresh.

I was a flight attendant for years and I don't think I've ever used hangers except in my own home. Do what makes you most comfy, the cabins are small. I tend to not bring anything that wrinkles and keep my still packed suitcase under my bed.

What she said.

 

I also put my dirty clothes in the suitcase under the bed.

Unpack...makes life easier than digging thru a suitcase everytime you need something! And, the empty suitcase is where the dirty stuff goes...no mess!

[JLC@SD]

I always unpack.....because the thing I need is always at the bottom of the suitcase......and then after you retrieve it......you have to repack the suitcase....

[unadillasc]

I second the unpack, hang things up (gets rid or rinkles from the trip) and use the suitcase for dirty clothes. This really does help with space issues and I have to ditto the statement that it makes it easiler to find things.

Lol. While I agree I have on a couple 4 day trips that had a feel of a camping trip

Hey Young Cruiser!

We're going on our first cruise this November, on the Destiny, and our 14y/o dd will be going with us, Her first cruise too! If you have time, I'd love to hear a review of your cruise! My dd will especially like to know what you thought of the Circle C stuff.

PS: I'd hang the clothes up too. :-)

[Ironmen]

Seems easier and better when things are on the hanger.

This is the correct answer!

 

Happy cruising to all!

Absolutely hang up your clothes! They will look and feel fresh...I even hang up clothes for an overnight! I pack a "garbage type" bag for the dirty clothes so no order is transferred into the suitcase (just in case we perspire).

 

Have a great cruise. Unpack and forgot about it for 4 days!!

 

Safe sails.

[nothomeonacruise]

A perfectly legitimate question. I'd say unpack. It keeps things from being wrinkled.

[jaxncat]

Just went on the Elation in May. I packed everything ON the hangers, yanked 'em out and hung them up when we got to the cabin. Nothing was wrinkled and when I repacked, just did the same thing again....easy as pie.

After watching CNN for a hour I can see this is an important question! I would contact your PVP or travel agent, tell them you're having a hard time with this question (and perhaps have difficulty with making any decisions that are forced upon you in your daily life) and see what their advice is.

 

If this is a serious question I have fears for our country.

That is what you get for watching CNN for an hour. :D

YES! YES! Hang up the clothes. My DH and I lived out of suitcases on the first five cruises we took. Then we were in an inside..could not walk. So we hung up the clothes..put the undies in drawers...shoved the suitcases under the bed..and voila..The cabin was a different place with tons more space. And in the Morning..no lifting the suitcase..just like home..open a drawer...go to the closet...Now I take extra skinny hangers..the kind the laundry uses that has sticky felt to keep clothes on..or pins if not...and when we board the ship..after the drill..or before..as soon as our luggage gets there..we divide up the space. ( can get heated) then work together to get everything hung or stored somewhere. Suitcases under the bed..and cabin is orderly and tidy.space is much larger..and you feel like you are REALLY there...TRy carrying some extra hangers..and unpacking just once. You won't go back. And in Motels..we never unpack. Even at the House of the Mouse where we have spent up to a week..No unpacking. But on a cruise.........Yes.
