  • Packing for a cruise?
    Whether you’re boarding a ship, leaving a ship, or traveling to some other fantastic destination, packing is one aspect that can be frustrating. While on the Brilliance of the Seas, I took the opportunity to show you one packing hack I always use to get more clothes in my suitcase, (or in this case: laundry bag). #cruise #travel #hack

    Probably the best cruise travel hack I’ve seen.

    I've never seen the laundry lasagna before. 🤯 It's really difficult for my mind to believe that you got all of those clothes into that bag with room to spare!!! 🤯

    • @PhiPhi_Jagz
      @PhiPhi_Jagz Před měsícem +1

      Right!!! I literally just yelled out "SHUT UP!" 😂 This is good to know even just for regular packing.

  • @lindad9068

    Wow! You are a laundry magician! This was new to me!

    Shut UP! Not gonna lie, I was doubting you pretty hard the whole time! That's pure genius! BRAVO👏 👏 👏

    Variations of this is also how 1 bag travelers pack clean clothes for their trips. Nice job!

  • @johnparchman753
    @johnparchman753 Před 28 dny +1

    Short of vacuum packing this is a GREAT tip. I especially like using this for return {sad face} packing. Pro tip - dirty clothes are weigh more than clean clothes. A lot more. By getting laundry service right before debarking you may save yourself an overweight charge from the airlines and the trauma of returning home won't be so bad since your laundry is already done. You spent Thousand$$$$ on your vacation spend $35-$70 to give yourself the "clean clothes on return" experience. money well spent.

  • @AngieRTaylor
    @AngieRTaylor Před měsícem +2

    Now - if Morgan could teach the cruise lines to NOT shrink our clothes, he would be a true magician!! I have had too many outfits turned into ‘children’s clothes’ in the ship’s laundry - so sadly - no ship’s laundry for me unless I can use a launderette like on Princess or HAL.

  • @sharlenetabata9591
    @sharlenetabata9591 Před měsícem +7

    That's a great tip. We always rolls but your Clothes lasagna is way more efficient!!!

    • @bethanyaudion9441
      @bethanyaudion9441 Před měsícem

      It is more like a Clothes Rollatini than a Clothes Lasagna.

  • @mamabar6811
    @mamabar6811 Před měsícem +1

    I personally hate buffets so that’s a no brainer. Main Dining room for the win. It’s the classic cruise dining experience and service is always wonderful. There’s also the quick service restaurants by the pool which are always open by 11 or 12 on embarkation day. Loco Fresh on Royal is a safe bet for a light lunch.

  • @julieb7882
    @julieb7882 Před měsícem +3

    Thanks for the clothed lasagna trick for the laundry bag. We always do the wash & fold special but never get so much in the bag. I saw your video for packing.

  • @happycruiser
    @happycruiser Před měsícem +1

    This was totally brilliant. Our status gives us a free bag on Celebrity and we always did the stuff and jam method. This is way better. Can't thank you enough for saving us tons of money but not having to do a second bag.

  • @paid4c4
    @paid4c4 Před měsícem +2

    Just goes to show you can teach an old sea dog new tricks! I thought I was good and loading the laundry bag but I don't hold a candle to your method. Thanks for the hack.

  • @DaveM-FFB
    @DaveM-FFB Před měsícem

    Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for the tip. Lately, we tend to take longer cruises (14 days +/-). So we usually only book cruise ships with self-serve laundromats on board.

  • @lorenadugan6355
    @lorenadugan6355 Před měsícem +2

    Oh My!
    I used to roll each piece super tight. Your way is better. Thanks.

  • @m.m.4645
    @m.m.4645 Před měsícem

    Very nice! Thank you👍
    I just realized that with the last laundry bag I did it similarly.
    Starting off with the classical rolling of separate things on earlier cruises (where I also could fit in an incredibIe amount of things) I did "one big, much flatter roll" on the last RCL cruise and managed to get 38 items in.
    Several Jeans, Shirts, pj, underwear, socks.

  • @Wendy-lq8uw
    @Wendy-lq8uw Před měsícem

  • @beefbrisket168
    @beefbrisket168 Před měsícem

    I either first saw it from you or The Points Guy Brian Kelly first. Usually for the ship Laundry bags, I usually roll my clothes in to Hot dogs to cramp everything in and it works really well.

  • @RogerWilco1
    @RogerWilco1 Před měsícem +3

    Hey Morgan, I'm literally doing my laundry in my sink right now, on the very same ship you are on at this moment. My clothes are all quick dry material specifically so that I can do laundry myself. I bought some dry detergent sheets on Amazon which dissolve quickly in the sink. This ships sinks are kinda tiny though. Anyway, the clothes dry overnight.
    Cheers!
    PS-- Looking forward to see what you say about this cruise, since I can compare to my first hand experience.

  • @lesleynyborg2093
    @lesleynyborg2093 Před 22 dny

    We roll our dirty clothes and it always cracks me up when they return TWO bags of clothes. Also, we use strapping tape around the top edge to prevent ripping. Make sure you know the last day you can submit laundry, I missed it on our last cruise

    Celebrity has a benefit for Elite class... one bag... this will come in handy. As a note.. I bring garbage bags to hold dirty laundry... if I don't get any cleaned on the ship... I pack one suitcase with the dirty... and the second with the cleaner... if there is a lot of dirty and it needs to spill over to the clean case.. I place a garbage bag to separate the cleaner from the dirty.. makes it easier when I get home to identify items to go into the laundry
