I like Carriee's advice. I also have a lot of Costco clothes and if that helps get a grand suite - that is awesome. I agree with packing light - it is so nice (we generally do carry on only). You can also buy more if you need it, but we rarely do.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Carrie has a lot of great advice 😀

[@mikeg9502]

Please compare this RC cruise to DCL when you come back. My family, like yours, has done several DCL cruises but has never tried RC. My son will be 13 soon and I think he may be more interested in the things to do on RC now that he will age out of the Imagineers Clubs on DCL. Thanks in advance.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Oh yes, we’re definitely gonna make that video 😊

[@staceylp39]

I love the video,! I like Royals printable tag I ordered the same sleeve you guys had along with the little wire thingy to put on your suitcase worked like a charm have a good time can’t wait for up coming videos

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Although we like DCL’s luggage tag the best, the way RC does paper tags also make it really easy 😊

[@23angelofjoy]

I gave my husband a very similar pill case and he was overly excited about it too lol. Guess we’ve reached the age where we nerd out over this stuff now! 😂

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Accurate! 😂

[@abigailmuir7878]

Hope you guys have a great trip! I love Carries financial advice 😂 Costco to grand suite!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Yes 😂 Thank you!

[@NikkiZeee]

Were those Mary Kay makeup bags I seen?! They looked so nice and spacious

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

I checked with the expert (Carrie) and she said yes! Those are Mary Kay bags 😊

[@shirleybrewer8921]

Can’t wait for your cruise videos!

[@letysilisibarreche6686]

I love you guys! You're awesome and funny! Enjoy every minute of your vacation! I can't wait to watch all your videos. You should come to the Disney Panama Canal with us in April 2026. It would be so cool!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thank you so much!

[@karenpaet2104]

When it comes to packing lists, I’m a bit “extra”. I have one for regular trips, one for trips to cold places, one for Cruises and another one for DISNEY cruises (to include door magnets & pixie dust) 😬 excited to see the cruise vlogs!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Aloha! We’ve never thought of you as extra Karen 😂 But we get it. Packing can be stressful! It’s never a bad thing to be prepared!!

[@junefielder1033]

Our family has similar interests as yours. We have a 7 yr old and twin 5 yr olds. I’m looking forward to your RC vs DCL comparison. Our first DCL cruise was in January. Enjoy your vacay!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kimsanders8832]

I’m on team Carrie. I write out my lists then add or check off if it’s packed. Oh love Costco’s clothes. You guys are amazing. ❤❤. P.S. my husband says my lists are scary because it shows him how my mind thinks. Lol. You can only imagine what my lists look like when I’m done packing. Hahaha

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

👍 Costco clothes are great, right?! 😂

[@katrinamclemore4563]

I'm a total list maker for packing...literally will write down each day / activities and then write out my outfit ideas and then pack from there. I will do this on my phone or write it down depending on how busy I am. When in doubt, I am always an over packer 😂 Can't wait to see these upcoming travel vlogs!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

We’re definitely “making a running list” people too! If it doesn’t get written down out to the list when we’re thinking about it, it probably won’t get packed 😂 Thanks!

[@MissBriBrizzle]

Can’t wait to see the vlogs! I love parking at Westin I do the same when I fly from LAX such a cost savings and super convenient.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

😀 Not sure if we’ll ever park at SFO again!

[@khardy1801]

That was the worst part of RCI for us, no laundry where we could do it. You are already onboard so won’t see this but do laundry when they offer a special but only certain items can be included.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thankfully, our room attendant helped us with getting a decent deal on our laundry 😊

[@Rebecca-zp4gm]

If not go to the thrift shops as many high priced clothing can be even cheaper than Costco. I picked a j crew long sleeve top for £1 a few weeks ago and many are like new.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Nice! Find the deals wherever they are 😀

[@kj2mom857]

Hope you are having the best time! When we pack we always disperse outfits in each suitcase so if by chance something doesn’t make it the result isn’t that one person has nothing…we all just have a little less.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

What a great idea!!

[@susanbarnett761]

All walls on every ship must be metal. It's not unique to any cruise line.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Those magnetic hooks don’t work in the Wonder or the Magic for Disney cruise line, so not every cruise ship has magnetic walls. Most newer ships, if not all newer ships have that ability from what we’ve experienced though.

[@mjhadley2001]

I hope you all have an amazing trip!!! I can't wait to see what you all think of Royal!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thank you!!

[@cynnbal]

Where is Carrie's top and pants from that she is wearing in the video?

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Shirt at Marshall’s, and can’t remember where she bought her shorts (maybe Costco)?! 😂

[@theanxiousmomma]

Carrie, I am a pen/pencil to paper girl too! Love my lists!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

😀 Yay!

[@carol_draper]

I also love pen and paper over digital! I love office supplies 😂. I have that travel pillow and it is amazing! 🤩 can’t wait to see what you think about Royal.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

😊 So glad you like the travel pillow!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

So glad you like the travel pillow!

[@barbaramallon4318]

Be aware it is really hot in New York

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

It actually started very comfortable for the first two or three days, but the last four days in New York City were incredibly hot when you added in the humidity 😅

[@SleepyinDisney]

Loving the financial advice

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

😂🤣

[@Amanduhhpanduh]

Hope you guys are having a great time! I love these packing videos probably way too much 😂 It just helped me add a few things to my packing list for my upcoming trip!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

We had a great time in New York and we’re loving the cruise so far 😊 Glad this was helpful!
