    I always pack a tote bag from home. Like the ones you’d bring to the super market. So if my suitcase is too heavy at the end of my trip, then I can use the tote bag as a personal item and put some clothes or other heavier items in there to avoid going over the 50 pounds!!

    As an advid cruiser, this applies to all cruises. The medical equipment inside your luggage though?! My wife have to constantly remind me to take that on as a carry on. You never think you will lose your luggage until you do. These are so incredibly legit tips. The first one threw me off for a bit but as you explained it, it made perfect sense. That flexibility of a luggage is a life savers for over packers. 💀 I packed about 2 weeks worth of clothes on my 4 day..
    I always tell people overpack Instead of overpack. Our first cruise I underpaxked so bad and wore the same two shirts the whole time

    Carry on. The first cruise our carry ons were two large duffles, CPap, Camera case. The second... The smallest rolling suitcase, one duffle, CPap, Camera case. It was A LOT easier rolling a duffel around on a suitcase than lugging them on our shoulders. Oh. We took 9 bags on our cruise last week. We were actually able to cut back by a bag. :-)

    Hi. Just a warning about overstuffing your airport carry-on: I traveled on American this month and the gate agents were telling us to make sure the suitcase expander was closed and they threatened to put big bags in the sizer. They were trying to make a lady check her bag and she wasn't having it!

    Hey Lynette and Stanley - greetings from RVA. I love the videos you put out. You should do a suggestion video of essential thing to bring on a cruise. For example, my wife and I purchase various types of liquor while in port(s) of call. Instead of packing it in our clothes and/or towels; Ive a BOTTLEWISE liquor transport carrier bag or I have an entire luggage that I purchased from TOTAL WINE and MORE that holds 10 bottles of wine or liquor in insulated containers.

    All speakers/radios (including Bluetooth, portable and wireless) are prohibited and will be confiscated and returned at the end of the cruise. For safety reasons, public announcements must be heard by all guests and crew. Consequently, guests must use earphones when listening to music or watching shows/movies on personal devices (such as mobile phone, tablets, and laptops) in public spaces.

    I don’t hear you guys talk about faster to the fun ! Have you ever taken advantage of that as a platinum member (I’m assuming) because you’ve gone on plenty of cruises ?

      We speak on it every Live video honestly. We are GOLD, trust me we don’t cruise as much as many may think lol. We vacation in various ways.
