JeanKC Posted October 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Hello We're due to travel on the Royal Clipper ship next year and have a category 5 cabin. Can anyone who has had such a cabin recently advise on storage space. As we have a week in a hotel after the cruise, I was going to use a medium sized suitcase rather than a rucksack - Due to a suitcase being easier to pack, easier to find stuff in, less creasing, and even a softsided one is sturdier than a rucksack, but I just don't want any free floor space being taken up by a suitcase. All advice appreciated. Thanks Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluso Posted October 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 12, 2022 We've had the crew store a suitcase in another location/empty cabin. Shouldn't be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanKC Posted October 12, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thank you - But based on what Star Clipper told me when I asked about storage space, they said, I could bring all the bags I wanted, but it would all have to be stored in the cabin........so certainly, the impression from the customer service team, is not what you have experienced. Maybe the staff on-board are more accommodating!! 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurleyKing Posted October 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2022 There is normally plenty of room under the bed for a couple of good-sized suitcases. I haven't stayed in a Cat 5 on Royal, but there's nothing to suggest it would be different in this respect to a Cat 3 or 4 (which I have stayed in). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted December 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2022 This was not the Royal but we did 2 weeks on the Star Flyer this summer and we had no problem w storage. When we got on the ship it looked as if there was not a lot of space but there were lots of nooks and crannies where you could store stuff. Our 2 large suitcases went under the bed. We followed up our 2 weeks on the Flyer with 1 week on one of the Viking river boats and there was more room in the Flyer cabin than the Viking cabin.
