pkflamingo Posted March 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I can't believe it but I got all 4 of us into a small roller bag and backpack each. It helps that we don't do the formal night thing. T minus 4 days and counting to Southern Caribbean on Jewel!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britty1 Posted March 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2014 We are on the same cruise - I don't think I could get all our clothes in 1 roll on bag and what sounds like 4 backpacks. You are taking the redeye on Friday evening - right. See you onboard, we will be checking our clothes today and starting the packing, we leave early, early Thursday morning. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she meant each of 4 has a roller bag and a backpack - so 4 roller bags and 4 backpacks. If I'm wrong - then wow! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkflamingo Posted March 24, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yes..4 rollers and 4 backpacks. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoie Posted March 24, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2014 That's still impressive, but less impressive than a single roller + 4 backpacks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me 2 Posted March 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Would greatly appreciate you letting us in on how you managed this :confused: No airline checked baggage costs and no risk of baggage going amiss :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted March 24, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Would greatly appreciate you letting us in on how you managed this :confused:No airline checked baggage costs and no risk of baggage going amiss :eek: I have done the same as the OP a couple of times. You can't pack many shoes...one pair for evening, one or two pair sandals, wear sneakers on the plane. You have to be willing to wear outfits at least twice, and pack mix and match items. Also, I do wash out some undies and a couple of lightweight t-shirts and hang to dry overnight. I don't do this every day and it is not a big deal. Oh, and use a napkin so you don't spill on yourself!!!:D You really don't need everything you think you need and never bring anything for "just in case". Your roller and backpack will be full, but it is so much easier (and Cheaper) !!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkflamingo Posted March 24, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have us wearing our bulkier items. Light jackets / cardigan for me on the plane or stuffed in backpack. 1 pair of pants, 4 pairs of shorts each. Silky tops and tanks take up very little room. Just need a couple pairs if socks since flip flops will be worn most of the time. Swimsuits squish into nothing. Toiletries and electronics all go into backpacks. I'll be picking up sunscreen at cvs in San Juan. We purchases beverage packages so no wine space needed. We just can't buy much while there.

Me 2 Posted March 24, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks Rala and pkflamingo for enlightening me. I reckon it should be possible if I pack all my shoes and bags and just wear all my clothing in layers :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousey Posted March 26, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Wow! Your cruise is right around the corner. Hope you have an awesome one and that your light packing works for you. Please come back and let us know what you think you took that you didn't need and what you wished you had taken but didn't.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADYBROOKS Posted April 9, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I too am impressed, being that I am an over packer as I tend to be a moody dresser.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
