Editorial Summary

The creator demonstrates her method for packing for a seven day cruise while flying to the port. She focuses on maximizing space within a standard size carry on suitcase and a personal item backpack to avoid checking luggage. Her strategy involves using packing cubes and rolling clothes tightly to save room. She explains her clothing choices, which include items for shore excursions, dinners, and specific ship activities like ice skating and the FlowRider. The creator also details her organization of toiletries into separate bags for her and her partner to facilitate airport security. Her personal item contains essential documents, shoes, swimwear, and a rain jacket. She concludes by noting that while she aims to travel with only carry on luggage, she may need to adjust her sunscreen quantities to meet liquid restrictions. She expresses satisfaction with the fact that her items fit within her chosen bags.
