Creator's Key Takeaways

I am going to be packing my own suitcase carry-on only yes for a cruise and I am not a minimalist packer

I am an overpacker but just the idea of simplifying things a little bit for my next cruise I think it's not only easier to pack but it's easier to unpack

I absolutely love this carry-on piece because of its wide telescopic handle the nice thing about this handle is the fact that you have so much more room in the suitcase

I always bring boning that's basically for seasickness prevention or dealing with it if you do get any to me that's an absolute must
