Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently returned from a 7- night cruise to Canada and New England on board Norwegian Jade with my best friend Haley

I was disappointed to realize that I wasted space on some items while also forgetting important things as well

I'm still going to continue packing and cruising with just a carryon whenever it's possible
