How much storage space under bed(s)?

[MizzNewbie]

How much storage space is under the bed(s) on the Sea Princess? Is it enough to fit suitcases underneath? We'll be in a mini-suite, but I saw photos of the so-called "walk-in" closet and it really doesn't look all that big.

 

Maybe we'll have to put our bags in the shower! :p

Put your bags under the bed. Lots of space for them there. The "walk in closet" is a euphemism. ;)

We always fit our suitcases under the bed.

Suitcases up to the 24" size should fit. We had a 26" suitcase for a while (no longer) that was too thick to fit under a bed on our cruises, but was OK for a corner in the closet.

Your Steward may be using the "under bed" space to store the bed spread.....ask that he move his stuff [he/she has closets that he can store stuff in, that are much bigger than yours] and you'll see there's lots of room for your bags....

Or, ask him/her to store them for you until the night before disembarkation.

All suitcases fit under the bed. You just lift the bed. My case is expandible 28".

Thanks for the replies!

 

I'm planning to continue the Grand Newbie Tradition of irrational overpacking, so I'll need all the room I can get!

If a big suit case does not fit, try it with the flap open.

DON'T do as once reported, first to save space the life jackets were put in a big case to save storage space, however, since it did not fit under the bed, it was given to the cabin attendant to store. Next came Life Boat Drill! Oops :D:o:eek:

"Nest" the suit cases --

One inside the other.

Saves room for the Cabin Steward.

What room? The cabin steward doesn't need to come in contact with the cases while making up the bed.

Usually, Cabin Steward "stores" the Bed Spread under the bed.

OK. Gotcha. We don't want that scuzzy bedspead put on the bed, so on the first day we ask him/her to take it away and make it disappear permanently. If they store it under the bed, and they most likely do, they don't have to deal with it again until we vacate.

We found plenty of room for two suitcases and two plastic crates (drinks, snorkeling gear, etc) under our beds on our last cruise.

Not all.

I have to stack my two 32" Expandable Uprights in the corner of the closet area. Too big to fit under the bed.

Enough room for the boogeyman!

I always use the "Life & Shove" method. It works everytime.

Same thing here. He lifts, I shove. :D

How the H can you still be travelling with those monster sized suitcases? I guess they're OK if you're driving and not flying. I got rid of mine. They were wonderful, but with 50 lb. airline max, they weighed too much empty. When we were still allowed 70lbs., I used to check those suckers in at 69 1/2. :eek:

I only use those suitcases when I drive to the cruise terminal.

(One has a great compartment for my formal wear)

 

 

As for weight -

I use this.

Best invention! :)

 

To make sure I don't go over 50lbs.

Don't want to hurt anyone's back ( including my own) :rolleyes:...;)

I must be more talented than you and your DH, I handle the lifting and the pushing myself.

I bought a cheapie one about two years ago and it broke. Besides, I can't lift such a heavy weight. We use our scale at home (a doctor's scale) so that's pretty accurate, and I more or less remember what goes into each case and try to pack the same way on return.

Nope. It's called delineation of duties. At one time he was a Master Sergeant! :D

I have one of those too. Love it. It is so accurate and I don't travel by air without it now.
