Sorry, only just saw this. Yes plenty of room for bags, we just ask that for big bags people put them inside the cabin where possible. By all means keep a small bag with you for valuables - wallet/purse, cash, phone, camera etc If you imagine when we have 100 people, we also have 50 bags and they take up a lot of space if on the main deck. Some people bring huge bags, I have no idea what they put in them! Bags can get wet, have drinks spilled on them, cause a trip hazard or an extra obstacle for drunk people to have to negotiate around and take up space that can be better used for standing / dancing etc
