What to pack in your Cruise Carry-on Bag
A cruise carry-on bag will accompany you to most places you go while on a cruise. Choose an airline carry-on-compliant bag that can be used as a beach bag or for excursions while at the dock. Your bag will hold all your travel documents and other essentials on embarkation day. Pack things needed on the first day of your cruise, as your larger bags typically don’t get delivered to your cabin for several hours. For this reason, be sure to pack a change of clothes that, if desired, you will be able to dress for dinner or a cocktail.
It is also worth considering the length of your cruise and whether you will be flying into your embarkation port. We recommend opting for a single bag for your entire trip for shorter cruises, such as a Spinner Wheel Carry on Suitcase or Duffle Bag with Wheels. These bags can also be flight carry-on compliant. For longer cruises, we suggest opting for a smaller bag such as a backpack or tote to pack just the items needed for your first day and essentials, discussed further below. Then, naturally, a larger suitcase or bag will be necessary to hold the remainder of your items.

The most popular bag would be a Tote with a sturdy shoulder strap for an additional carry option. Totes can be used for several occasions, such as for day excursions or a day at the beach. A tote’s limitation can be its capacity; if items are heavy, they may become tiresome to carry.
