Creator's Key Takeaways

I thought it might be interesting to see how I pack in just a carry-on and a personal item.

I'm not telling you to do it. I'm just showing you how I do it.

I do bring my own flat iron though.

I have some medication in another one. Um I just tuck it in my shoe and then that way they makes room.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use packing cubes to organize clothes and save space.
✓Put liquids in quart-sized bags and use Saran Wrap to prevent leaks.
✓Pack a small bag of essential medications and seasickness remedies.
✓Bring your own flat iron but use the ship's hair dryer to save space.
