FoxtrotTango Posted March 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Hello Everyone, We are looking forward to our first trip on Regatta this summer (Alaska, June 29th Departure). I'm starting to plan our packing and wondered if anyone knew how high the gap was under the beds. We usually use 'squishy' canvas holdalls but we are doing some touring before boarding, so considering slightly more 'robust' suitcases this time - and I'm wondering if the ones I have in mind will slide under the beds (we will be in a PH3, if that makes any difference). Many thanks in advance (and we hope to meet some of you on board!).

Missymo Posted March 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I don't remember having any problems with our 4 large pieces of luggage when we were on the Regatta for a 24 day Amazon cruise.. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted March 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If it doesn’t fit under the bed closed perhaps it would when opened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Lifting the bed frame enough for them to slide under is another option. Lots of room under the bed once they clear the bed frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted March 15, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Besides, if it doesn't fit the crew will store it for you until you need to leave the ship. I have a 28" suitcase and I'm pretty sure that it fit underneath the bed. Certainly a 26" would ... You shouldn't have a problem. If you want to keep the suitcase "in house" in case it doesn't fit underneath the bed, I think Paul's suggestion is right on! Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted March 15, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2019 In the lower cabin cat the 26" fit under the bed as stated above you may need to lift the frame to get it under but no problem I even put 2 in the closet on their sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azam71209 Posted March 15, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I use rolling duffels in lower category cabins and open them under the bed, slide them out like drawers. Good for extra storage of things that won't get used often. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good place to store things you won't use often or may/may not need. Also, I know where they are rather than trying to remember where I put them in the cabin.

Rob the Cruiser Posted March 15, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) If you try sliding the bag under the bed, the clearance is about 10". If you lift the frame then slide the bag underneath, the clearance before the bag and springs are touching is about 14". As far as surface area, we've had plenty of room under the bed for two 26" bags and two 18" rollaboards.
