Cruise Packing Tips - Folding vs Rolling

Editorial Summary

Sherry from Cruise Tips TV discusses two primary methods for packing cruise attire to minimize wrinkles. The creator compares the rolling technique with the traditional folding method to determine which works best for different types of luggage and fabrics. Rolling is described as an effective strategy for soft-sided bags like duffels or backpacks because it allows items to fit into small spaces. This method is recommended for durable fabrics such as knits, jeans, and t-shirts, though the creator notes that improper rolling can cause wrinkles. The creator suggests reserving rolling for smaller items like socks and tank tops. In contrast, folding is presented as the ideal method for structured, hard-sided suitcases and delicate fabrics including rayon, silk, and linen. While folding may still result in creases, the creator observes that these wrinkles often appear in expected locations. The video concludes that a combination of both folding and rolling is the most effective approach for most travelers. The creator also provides a preview of a third method called bundle wrapping which will be covered in a future episode.
