    I always pack a tote bag from home. Like the ones you’d bring to the super market. So if my suitcase is too heavy at the end of my trip, then I can use the tote bag as a personal item and put some clothes or other heavier items in there to avoid going over the 50 pounds!!

    Ok you can't take an iron or steamer on board BUT you can take a hair flat iron and mine's worked amazing for getting rid of wrinkles. 😍
    Everybody was trying to borrow it!

    As an advid cruiser, this applies to all cruises. The medical equipment inside your luggage though?! My wife have to constantly remind me to take that on as a carry on. You never think you will lose your luggage until you do. These are so incredibly legit tips. The first one threw me off for a bit but as you explained it, it made perfect sense. That flexibility of a luggage is a life savers for over packers. 💀 I packed about 2 weeks worth of clothes on my 4 day..
    I always tell people overpack Instead of overpack. Our first cruise I underpaxked so bad and wore the same two shirts the whole time

    Carry on. The first cruise our carry ons were two large duffles, CPap, Camera case. The second... The smallest rolling suitcase, one duffle, CPap, Camera case. It was A LOT easier rolling a duffel around on a suitcase than lugging them on our shoulders. Oh. We took 9 bags on our cruise last week. We were actually able to cut back by a bag. :-)

    Hey Lynette and Stanley - greetings from RVA. I love the videos you put out. You should do a suggestion video of essential thing to bring on a cruise. For example, my wife and I purchase various types of liquor while in port(s) of call. Instead of packing it in our clothes and/or towels; Ive a BOTTLEWISE liquor transport carrier bag or I have an entire luggage that I purchased from TOTAL WINE and MORE that holds 10 bottles of wine or liquor in insulated containers.
