4 largeish cases for us plus a carry onboard suiter. We each pack our own. I always take 2 electric razors, that means 2 chargers.
Iagree about fly cruises, its too much hassle for me. I seem to have spent half my life in airports; not any more

Don't mind flying. Not keen on airports. But we like going places so for us it's a necessary evil.

I can't see how we would get our luggage allowance down enough for a fly cruise. It's bad enough trying to fathom out what to take but would be a nightmare if we had weight restrictions to consider as well.
As for airports I love the places but have now got used to the sheer convenience of arriving at the dockside, unloading the car and embarking without all the hassle of flying. It's a much more relaxed experience so I can't see us flying again any time soon.

The only time we've done it we upgraded to premium economy on BA and got extra allowance

2 razors? That's posh! It that so you can do your face whilst Mrs F does your backside?!
