Closet/drawers 1 bedroom fantasy

[Sandbtwmytoes]

We booked a 7 night eastern Caribbean on the Fantasy. I am a notorious over packer! I'm going to do my best to limit what I bring, but I am very curious as to how much storage is available in the one bedroom rooms. I have seen a few videos that briefly show the larger front hall closet and the two smaller closets. But I did not see any drawers. I think there was an under bed drawer and some bedside tables. DDs will be 4 and 1 when we travel next so the drawers are handy.

Also, do most people just end up doing laundry during the seven night cruise to minimize how much they pack?
Thanks!

Out of all the 7 night cruises we've been on, I think I've done laundry like once and it was just swimsuits at that. You are correct, there are hardly any drawers. I think the reason for this is because when the ship rocks, they didn't want drawers to be opening and closing unexpectedly. Instead, there are several shelves with a like tiny 2 inch ledge to stop stuff from sliding out. Personally what I do with stuff like socks and underwear is put them in my duffel bag and leave it open and shove it under the bed. It's kinda like a drawer.

The big closet in the hallway of a Cat T has three drawers. The smaller closet has at least one, if not two. The vanity in the bedroom has a drawer, as do each of the night stands. In the master bath there are several drawers, as well as trick little hidden cabinets under each sink. I can't remember if the TV stand in the living room has drawers or not, but I'd be surprised if they didn't.

We also tend to use our suitcases as clothing/misc. item storage. Keep a garbage bag in at least one and you can use it as the hamper.

Thanks! I was wondering about the tv stand too. I've seen where the fridge is directly under the tv, but no video of the cabinets on the sides.
I think we'll end up using our suitcases for storage too. I've used packing cubes in the past and it's so easy to open them and stick them in a drawer.

Nope. Almost no drawers. There are a reasonable number in the bedroom but everyone else will be short. I brought folding baskets to act as drawers and put them on the floor of the big closet and on top of the safe.

Honestly, our party of 3A1C had a hard time feeling organized for our 4 night cruise, so I think we would have had trouble on a 7 night. The drawers were the only thing we didn't love about the experience.

The folding baskets are a great idea. Thanks

Here's the post in my TR where I talk about storage. I had forgotten about not being able to put suitcases under the bed.

In November/December last year we stored our suitcases under the bed in 12506.

I love your trip report! And I keep thinking someone is going to mention a magical chest of drawers that no one else has found How can there be such little storage in these rooms? We've been on two cruises so far and the frist cruise had the steamer trunk (I think that's what it's called) so we hadn't tons of drawers. I even had empty drawers. With this being a larger room and a longer cruise, I just don't understand how there isn't a dresser somewhere.

I hope this will work for us too. We have an early September cruise and it looks like it's a Halloween cruise now That means more to pack

We're on a Halloween cruise this year so we're leaving the pirates at home. They take up almost one entire duffle bag by themselves.
