Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a bit scared I'm excited but I'm a little scared too

I'm really hoping this one goes a lot better we're doing all the prepping and packing and getting ready for it

I don't want to have gobs and gobs of stuff I want to have what we need but I don't want to have excess

I'm not going to overdo it as far as taking a ton of stuff we are packing in two carry-on bags

Creator's Tips & Advice

Start packing and prepping at least a week before your cruise to avoid stress
Pack two swimsuits and two pairs of pajamas per person as a non-negotiable
Use packing cubes to organize outfits and save space in carry-on bags
Bring a personal item bag that fits airline size requirements for extra flexibility
Consider screen-free activities for kids during travel to reduce screen time
