My challenge with carryon only would be toiletries more than clothes

I, being frugal, will probably use the shower gel to wash clothes in our cabin.

If it's a seven day cruise, it's really a ten day vacation. You need to arrive at the departure port at least one day early; I recommend two. I also highly suggest staying at least one night afterwards.

One thing I bring that many people don’t but should is a foldable shopping bag/grocery tote. We use that darn thing for everything! Amazing for carrying around towels and miscellaneous things to and from the pool. We have one that folds into the size of a half a deck of cards and it’s perfect for travel. We even have used it as a beach bag on trips past.

I love those little scrubbers with soap. 😊 I always wash the glasses in the room as part of my day one wipe down and this is much better than the shampoo.

Packing cubes are great in the cabin for easy unpacking too. They sit on shelves or go into drawers and keep everything shipshape! Water bottle goes in personal bag for filling at the airport after security.

I’ve done carryon only for two cruises as a plus size gal. I wore the same tshirt dress twice, one sea day and one port day. I always wear the same pants on embarkation and debarkation, with a fresh shirt each day. No one cares what you’re wearing. The hard part is sunscreen. I say buy that the night before in a full size container.

Also, tiny sample perfume bottles can be gotten at Sephora and other stores. When empty, refill with your own

Holy Moly! From the video clip of you getting on the ship, I see you pack more in carry-on than I do in my checked luggage. 😁

I learned so much! I went on a 4day trip with my daughter in 2001. We had such a mess! Things that we needed I left behind and the reverse. And I got dehydrated and had to go to the medical bay. I'm never going to be as disorganized and confused if I get to take another cruise! Although I'm visually impaired and I recently had a small stroke so I am in a wheelchair. But none of that matters! I am looking at a year out and hoping that I will be functional with only a cane by then. Yep, that's my plan and I'm sticking to it!!!🎉 Thank you so very much!😊
