Packing Carry On Only For A Caribbean Cruise - Women"s

Hi Cruisers, It's time for another Packing Carry On Only video. We are doing a 7 night Caribbean cruise on the MSC Seaside. Don't forget our wonderful sponsor: cruiseline.com?
Scroll to the bottom for links mentioned...
We are super excited about our upcoming MSC cruise. It's been a while since we've been in the Caribbean, so we are really looking forward to it. What we don't look forward to is dealing with baggage fees, waiting at luggage carousels, and hauling heavy suitcases around an airport. That's why we recently starting packing carry on only for cruises where we have to fly to port. We've been working on this carry on only strategy for a while now, and we've got lots of packing tips for carry on only to share with you. We are going to split this video into three parts. First we'll do packing carry on only for women. Then carry on only for men, and finally packing carry on only for a cruise with kids. My son is going to try to help out with that "pack with me" video. It should be super fun. If you are working on packing light, carry on only is definitely something you should consider. Packing for a cruise can be stressful, but for us adding airport considerations to the mix makes it that much more daunting. As always, if you have packing tips, carry on only tips, or any tips you think might be helpful to our wonderful cruising community, please share them in the comments below.

Love all the details :) looking forward to my first cruise next year and getting so many great ideas from your channel!

[@beckyhopper8162]

Love your packing videos. Always gives me tips and tricks. I love the hint for using a packing cube for the pre cruise stay. I usually use a back pack or something like that. A packing cube is brilliant!

[@jodura3363]

Definitely need the undergarments information. I like the thought of buying bigger items when arrive where porting. I may do that. Wonderful. Thanks for this video. Have mucho tips.

[@ThereGoesCheri]

I’ve been looking for an organizer for all my cords and after seeing your video, I think I’ve found what I need. Thank you!!!

[@jade5743]

Love this, so helpful! I am going on a 7 night Caribbean cruise next year and coming from the UK so wanting to see if I could do carry-on. This is giving me hope!

[@lauragwillim1055]

Wow. I’m impressed. All that in a carry on and backpack! Your channel is so outstanding! I learn so much from you and your presentation is so upbeat yet professional and succinct. Love ya😘 Laura

[@XOJOjenio]

Great tips!!!! And, love that you use beautiful thirty-one products 💕 I’m a proud consultant & love seeing woman using great products!!!

[@ClassySaia]

I love doing this. I went to Walmart in Florida and picked up the stuff I couldn't do on the plane including a cheap wine opener that I gave away before I went home.

[@jenabram328]

Love your packing videos! Can't wait for the part where you pack for your son. I have a 9 year old son too, taking him on his first cruise in 33 days! Using packing cubes for the first time too.

[@alicea153]

I'm so excited for you all! Have a great time!

[@cindiparnell7825]

I packed my first packing cube yesterday.so excited for our upcoming cruise

[@knowknownanette]

Packing a cube for each family member for the hotel stay is a great idea! We will be trying that. Headed to the Bahamas next week on Carnival Elation.

[@amybyrdishere]

Thank you! This is so helpful! Enjoy your cruise!

[@samheywood8338]

I’ll use these tips for my MSC Seaside cruise 2 weeks after. Thanks for saving me the stress 🤷🏼‍♂️ x

[@darozzi9652]

Hi Sheri. Just watched this video. I wish I had looked at before the last cruise I would not of overpacked. I am notorious for doing that! I also laughed out loud when I saw the "travel pants" I have been looking for those for years!!! I finally found something I like for long haul flights but will take a look at these as well. Great tips!

[@picard714]

And yes, Sherri, your packing game is strong!

[@fabonikinicole]

Hi!!!! One of the best packing videos I have seen. I am amazed you were able to pack all of your things in a carry on. I think I am obsessed with packing and organization! Lol... Hope you and your family have an awesome vacation!!!! Cheers!😊

[@oliviabannister6912]

Super helpful, I go on a cruise in a few weeks, so excited!!!

[@teresah5318]

I'm impressed! That was amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing Sheri!

[@Duchessjo44]

Wow, Sheri....that was impressive! Talk about traveling light!

[@ShannonMoody]

Awesome packing!!! We booked our first cruise for next year and I'll definitely be getting packing cubes!!!

[@bethany7833]

You've given me hope that maybe, juuuuust maybe I can do this whole carryon only thing. 😉 Great video as always and thanks so much for the wonderful tips & ideas! 💙

[@kzimmerman2211]

I ended up buying a wrap on our last cruise at the NCL $10 sale! :) I tend to run warm, so I don't often use it at home, but I am definitely bringing it along on our next cruise.

[@exopravs5824]

Omg thank you for making this!! Seriously helped me a lot for my upcoming trip ❤️

[@Alexisaboard]

Yay! I am SO happy for you guys that you're doing carry on only again! This is going to be a great motivator for many - woohoo! So freeing and wow does this video show just how much you can take in a carry on!

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jeanettaclement]

This was super helpful! Going on a 16-nt cruise and looking for space saving tips.

[@paulinepotts9976]

You can also use that ring light attached to a travel mirror as extra lighting.

[@SpeedNoodles]

I'm going on a 7 night Alaskan cruise - not sure I can pull it off in a carry on, but I'm going to try! Thanks for the tips.

[@jesswnukow]

So excited for your cruise! Hope it is just fantastic! ~Jess

[@oliviasoutherland195]

the garment bag idea for dresses is a game changer! I am totally doing that!

[@annjordan7501]

Wow Sherri thanks for the video series awesome 👏!!

[@negrarustik]

Im going on a cruise on October for our anniversary! It’s my fourth cruise but my boyfriend has never been on one, we are super excited! Great videos and easy explaining, love watching all of them. Blessings from San Juan, Puerto Rico! 💙⚓️

[@alaysiayoung]

Always love watching your pack with me vids! They are probably my favorite to watch. Packing is always the most exciting pre cruise activity for me. My 6 night/ 8 night b2b honeymoon cruise is in 138 days, and I am chomping at the bit to start packing.

[@MsMaree]

Alaysia Vaughn I love to pack also. If you like watching packing videos watch Renelyn Thomas, I love her packing for a cruise also!

[@1PurdyG1rL]

Nourish Organic Face Lotion is MY FAV and HOLY Grail! Great tips!!

[@Jackiebrook126]

Always helpful tips.

[@ishmaelgraham164]

I'm addicted too, I'm going on the magic this year but I went on like 19 cruises in my life time. Ever since I went on one I got addicted to go on ever since!

[@cruisingwithjenny]

O'no, not doing an outfit of the day?? Bummer!! I love watching them. So inspirational! Please reconsider....let's vote ;)

[@deidresmith9698]

Girl u r the freeeeeakin packing whisperer. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it. Amazing. Ive got to learn to do this. 5 ngts we have 3 pieces of luggage 💁

[@trishsimmons5891]

I have a shall it looks exactly like yours even the same color ,I got it at wall mart at the end of the winter season on sale!

[@transactions-thejaypatelgr3877]

Going on a beach vaca and this helps with that too!

[@Selahsmum]

Just want to tell you how good you are at this . Im not going on another trip anytime soon but i could still sit here and watch you! 😊😊 God bless.

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@myswwan]

great vocal range!! thats so impressive😮😮

[@Samm876]

Oh what a good tip to unzip the extender before closing the suitcase, then zip it back up - I think carry on might just be possible 🤔 I need another set of packing cubes! 😀

[@taylorward3773]

Not going on a cruise anytime soon, but we're going to Disney World soon and this was super helpful anyways!

[@cynthiagreenhill5283]

You rock the off the shoulder look. Wish I were young enough to carry it off myself.

[@dianacopeland1981]

This is my favorite cruise packing video!!!! Thank you CruiseTipsTV!!!🎉❤

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching this throwback vid! I like this one too!

[@MaudePoison]

Sending love from The Bahamas Carry-on only won't work for me! I can't wait for my first cruise... whenever that will be. I lobe vicariously through you guys!

[@debraprince1954]

I love your show!!!

[@tammyhypes9348]

You simply amaze me!

[@tonyacollazo1710]

Love your ideas!! Thank you! 1st cruise coming up for my 50th!!😁

[@BeadnWithNicoleB]

Oh you are going to have a blast!! Congrats on what may turn out to be the 1st of many more.

[@littlebear6122]

You are the greatest packer!!

[@SandraRosario-mi1zs]

Yes......OMG! Loved that you packed your dresses with hangers...🥰 love your videos 🥰

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Thanks! I don't do it every time, but when I"m driving to port, it works!

[@andreadavis8869]

Magnets are good to have for hanging items to dry or for storage of hats and coverups.

[@duneece]

Very helpful!!!! 👍🏼

[@sugarbabydoll28]

Love your videos, thanks for posting. Where can I purchase your luggage, I love it!

[@KathyAceves]

Going on a cruise in just over a week. Our first time, and it's only three nights. I think I can do this!

[@kerianmatthias]

I will be going on the msc seaside in November

[@Leelee-mb9rs]

Just in time! 😊

[@vblord]

You are so amazingly efficient in your explanations and your style is so beautifully feminine. Super enjoyable to watch, wish I could find the clothing styles you buy.

[@gailcarsten7903]

Very nice video. What about your reading material like a kindle and snacks? I have to have those in my personal item.

[@normaromero8224]

I love your videos! I am going on a seven night cruise (Carnival Splendor) I would like to know if walking talking are allowed. Thank you so much

[@stephaniem839]

Wow... you get a LOT in your bags!!! That’s awesome!! It gives me hope for all my stuff!! LOL!

[@Natchel100]

My guy and I packed in a backpack forbid last 7 day cruise! It was SOOOO nice to not have a lot of things to deal with

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Right? It’s liberating!

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Yay!!! Can't wait to watch this when I get to work. We're flying to San Juan for our cruise in August and I was thinking of creating a packing tutorial since normally I bring whatever I want, but since we're flying I have to make some changes lol >_

[@CruiseTipsTV]

How exciting! San Juan is in our dream list ❤️❤️ your video idea is awesome!

[@barbarawright6515]

I like your packing a carry on.

[@allisonwalker191]

Amazing

[@ellieb8171]

Sheri you should try shampoo and shaving bars ,not liquid so can be put straight into your wash bag, and they reduce waste.

[@chrys2953]

Have to agree! Love solid shampoo, conditioner, and shaving bars!

[@nommo4life]

I am going on a 7 days cruise on Msc seaside !!!

[@iluvmooz]

Thank you cruise tips TV family! I always love watching your videos. Some airlines are now decreasing the size of the carry on bag. do you accommodate packing for the smaller carry ons?

[@CruiseTipsTV]

We don’t- we size to our specific airline domestically

[@christinelynch2028]

You’re a packing Wonder Woman! ☺️

[@Thatlakelife]

Great packing, I really didn't think that was gonna close so I'm officially impressed. Will you be using the NYC compression packing cubes? I got those on your recommendation and will use them or vacation in mid-August. Cant wait!

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Not on this trip but they are fab!

[@deborahconkle6822]

A-mazing! 🚢👍

[@JanetOrt]

I'm interested to find out how you like MSC. I've been reading they're new to the American market and have committed to bringing more ships in.

[@ambra8957]

Hey Sherri you should try rolling your clothes even if you use packing cubes. It reduces wrinkles and saves so much space. You could even do a head to head challenge testing out rolling versus folding video !

[@k_summer1984]

That's a great idea!

[@MAUVE5]

Rolling wrinkles my clothes so much! I usually fold them into a small package, kind of the same size of a roll

[@katiesmith1062]

My grandmother is a retired international flight attendant for 40 years. She rolls her clothes!

[@DH-qz2so]

...use use the Eye Makup Remover 'wipes' instead of liquid...

[@ejlouks18]

I will only fly Southwest , other airlines cost a lot and charge for suitcases

[@wendysmith6184]

omg Sheri i have to have those beautiful Michael Kors shoes . Another great packing video , just out of interest what can your carryon weigh in the US , ours on domestic flight can only be 5kg/ 11pounds which makes it hard sometimes to just do carryon.

[@DH-qz2so]

When I've flown, I've only had to worry about size..not weight..they don't get weighed...but need to fit in a certain size category (width/height/length)...that is all...so they can fit in the overheads.

[@headlessbabydoll]

I think we will be on the same cruise . We leave Aug4th

[@organized.thoughts]

I have this EXACT dress!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@calebsen5844]

When are you on this cruise?? I’m super excited to see these vlogs

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Soon!

[@bbergs8628]

WOW!! Amazing!! Thanks for including the undies (not TMI)!! No purse/clutch to take with you to dinners?? Wish I could whittle down the amount of stuff I pack - but as I get older, I seem to need more!

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Hey Bonnie! No purse! I’m gonna use juniors backpack :-)

[@divinediva_]

The only new shoe I would take anywhere are Clarks! :D

[@meerikal]

Have you considered purchasing the larger items on Amazon and shipping them directly to your pre-cruise hotel? I generally call ahead to the hotel to make sure they allow the deliveries and to confirm what needs to be on the label, but it helps avoid the mark up prices in "vacation" areas.

[@ellieb8171]

meerikal great idea!

[@ClassySaia]

meerikal But don't you still have to worry about getting it into the carry on and going back home on the airplane? Also what if ships late or gets lost? Perhaps I misunderstood.

[@jeanreta3648]

Dont forget check Airlines Baggage Fees for carryon. 7 k. About 14lbs. Take a scale along , some are very small.

[@meerikal]

I'm normally purchasing items I don't intend to bring back. I.E. Enough sunscreen for the trip, snacks, bug spray, and toiletries/cleaning supplies I don't mind walking away from.

[@Britneymphotography88]

So very organized. Can come do mine for next trip to New Jersey for a month hehe jk

[@patriciabeetschen1329]

Where do you find such cute dresses? I just watched your other carry on only video which you were taking 5 dresses! They were all so cute!

[@DH-qz2so]

she mentions using Fashom online...a clothing service that sends you stuff according to size/colors you like/if you want dress/skirt/pants..etc...you keep what you like...and return what you don't!

[@sharonbonaguro7908]

Thank you, great video. What size suitcase can be carried on the plane?

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Depends on the airline and destination 😊

[@anniealaska5091]

Just as a FYI - I suggest you put your Lip Sense in your quart bags. TSA wasn't happy that I forgot to do that on my last flight. :-)

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Excellent tip

[@theeverydayprepper7673]

Good stuff! Although if you can figure out how to overcome OCD (I pack for a 3 month trip for a 7 day vacation), please let me know! :D

[@SandraRosario-mi1zs]

You’re fine, when I pack for vacation, I pack extras...as long it all fits in a carry-on. I’m an OCD person, and love what she did with her clothing with hangers...you can take your time when folding and listen to some music while you’re working on the packing. Everything will be ok..🥰

[@vvip3rz779]

Good on you for mention special bra etc there things you forget sometimes so thanks for that.

[@autobotdiva9268]

I need new portable chargers. I always fly with gymshoes

[@tammarawiggins4193]

After watching this video I have to go back and repack my suitcase for my trip...i wayyyy overpacked and I have a checked bag

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Haha 😆

[@jessicachristie59]

What brand are your pink packing cubes and where can you purchase them? Thanks! I love your videos!

[@CruiseTipsTV]

www.amazon.com/shop/CruiseTipsTV Look for eBags

[@debbieo.6549]

Hi Sherri! First time I have watched on e of your videos bc I just found you so I feel a bit left out and have a lot of catching up to do! I loved watching how you can fit so much in those cubes that fit perfectly into a carrying on. Simply amazing! But I wanted to comment about the sticky bra thing. I bought two different styles for our december cruise last year and I could not get them to work!? I have no idea what I was doing wrong but they looked horrible so I wasn't able to wear them and after must frustration just went braless! LMAO One day you have to have a tutorial on how use those things the correct way. Bc It was definitely operator error going on in our cabins. Even my daughter and best friend joined in to assist! I was sweating by the end! Quite the adventure I must say! LMAO Loving this channel, okay now on to Seaside.

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Ah, Debbie! Welcome! You are already s part of our cruising family and you’ll catch up fast! Can you imagine a bra tutorial? That would be soooo funny! Well, I’ll tell ya what, the sticky girls may not be your friend- I feel like they are an necessity for some dresses But it sounds like a good old fashion strapless bra might be better for you. Hang in there and let’s stay in touch. Let me know how I can help you as you get your questions answered.

[@cruisingthrulifewithcindyh4483]

You are a packing Ninja

[@jeaninesoszko2503]

Hi

[@patricianash6537]

Loved the packing video. You are staying overnight near LAX..where in Calif. do you live?

[@CruiseTipsTV]

We’re on the central coast

[@jessicaachavez]

Wow, that is a lot of stuff in your back pack...is it heavy? This is exciting for us to see as we are going to the Bahamas in Nov. I think we can do carry on too!

[@CruiseTipsTV]

No- very light!

[@jessicaachavez]

Perfect! I will have to take a look at that backpack. My current one gets so heavy that I stress about taking one at all.

[@BeadnWithNicoleB]

Hi Sherri!! I'm going on a 7 nighter and planning to use a carry on and personal item. This is my second cruise and don't really want to do a check bag like the first time which was for a 6 nighter. What are the dimensions of your carry on?
