Are you going on a cruise and trying to pack light, or even carry-on only? Packing for a cruise doesn't have to be so complicated! Here are tips, tricks and hacks for how to pack carry-on only for a cruise.

In this video, I show how you can pack for a 7 day cruise in a carry-on suitcase. If you're going on a short cruise, packing in a carry-on bag will work easily. Longer cruises require more planning & a good cruise packing list!
