Creator's Key Takeaways

What I would recommend doing is buying a soft case... it does fold down to almost nothing so that is exactly what you want

If you have lots of drawers separators then you can have you know lots of things in one drawer but it's still you know easy to access

On a ship the walls of your cabin are always magnetic so anything that you find that is magnetic will stick to the wall

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use soft-shell suitcases that fold down when empty to save storage space.

✓Bring drawer separators to organize limited wardrobe space.

✓Use over-the-door hooks for jackets and bags.

✓Utilize suction-cup shelves in the bathroom for toiletries.

✓Use magnetic shelves or strips for bedside storage since cabin walls are magnetic.

✓Keep all medical and training paperwork in a single folder.
