jocap Posted August 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Thanks- set to record... I'd no idea that Jane was on a Celestyal cruise- we enjoyed our cruise with them so much (then called Louis Cruise) We fancy a return, so will be very interested in this one especially.

saltydog28 Posted August 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Very informative Q&A. But what did Jane mean, that when packing always use a rail? I have no idea what a rail is. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted August 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Some of my forum friends buy a collapsible hanging rail, like one in a dress shop, so they can hang their cruise clothes on it in a spare room when they're deciding which ones to pack...a free standing one which they can put away afterwards. It's the sort of thing you see near the front of a shop, with bargain T shirts on ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocap Posted September 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2017 We really enjoyed this first episode- it's light entertainment, but Jane did show quite a lot of the amazing ship, plus the ports. We do enjoy her humour, but perhaps that's because we were born in the same town. Not everybody knows what a ginnel is! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have spare rooms with cruise items and suitcases, but we've down sized now, and are having to be creative... clothes hanging from door handles whilst we pack... :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 5, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 5, 2017 It is amazing how the more you travel the more efficient you get at packing lighter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 6, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 6, 2017 keep it half empty going away and you will find it full on your return anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... we don't buy much ashore, just duty free which goes in hand luggage... I manage a full month on board with one case and a lot of washing tablets! :D I'm away soon to Norway, and prices on shore are enormous, so not even a little troll comes home with us... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are useful and pack flat without risk of breakage in the luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
