One of the many visitors to Prow's Edge Cruise Magazine asked us to let you know of a great packing tip to make sure you have enough space for all those souveniers at the end of cruise - and it's very simple, particularly if you're looking to buy luggage.

The idea is to purchase a set of luggage, the kind that fits into itself and then after packing the smaller one for the cruise, simply pop it into the larger one - only one bag to travel with on the way there, but a whole empty extra case for on the way home.

You’re going to have to buy a lot of souveniers to fill the bigger case! But why stop at two .... get a threesome. Then you can have two extra suitcases to pack! Hey, I see you can get a 4-piece luggage set. Where will this end?

Don’t you love those websites that provide you with a list of what you should take on your cruise. And having told the Nervous Nellies to pack everything except the kitchen sink they then ask them whether they’ve stuck to the principle "the lighter the better"?

These are just helpful guides, nothing more. They’re not suggesting you take everything on the list. Use this as a guide and draw up your own personal list.
