I added a 4-night Wonder of the Seas cruise onto the end of my 7-night Star of the Seas cruise… but was adding another cruise actually worth it? After getting off Star of the Seas, I spent a night in Orlando, took Brightline down to Miami, and headed straight to Wonder of the Seas for four more nights. Between the hotel, train, Ubers and another embarkation day, I wanted to see whether extending my trip this way was worth the extra time, money and effort. Come along as I board Wonder of the Seas, spend a very busy day at Perfect Day at CocoCay with Utopia of the Seas in port, enjoy a quiet Nassau day onboard, and experience what a 4-night cruise feels like compared with the longer cruises I usually take. I’m also introducing something new: Things That Earned a Spot in My Carry-On. I travel with just a carry-on and personal item, so space matters. If something earns a spot in my bag trip after trip, there’s a reason for it. ⭐ THINGS THAT EARNED A SPOT IN MY CARRY-ON These are the travel items I genuinely pack and use. Space is limited when you travel carry-on only, so if something earned a spot in my bag, it earned my recommendation too. 🌊 Sea-Band Motion Sickness Bands — FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO https://amzn.to/4g9UcQA 🔋 Anker MagSafe Battery https://amzn.to/43VlvZe 🎒 Foldable Day Backpack https://amzn.to/4wXqq9x 👕 Downy Wrinkle Release + Bounce https://amzn.to/4wYzEBB 🧳 Packing Cubes https://amzn.to/4nGZrdR 🏷️ Cruise Luggage Tags https://amzn.to/42LqwD7 📍 Apple AirTag https://amzn.to/4gCZDto 👂 Earplugs https://amzn.to/45VPOzP 🦆 Rubber Ducks https://amzn.to/4fovZ91 🧳 MY TRAVEL LUGGAGE OF CHOICE I travel carry-on only, and this is the luggage setup I actually use. 🧳 LEVEL8 Adventure 20" Carry-On https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101816030-15212828?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.level8cases.com%2Fproducts%2Fadventure-carry-on-20%3Fvariant%3D46573106200799 🎒 LEVEL8 Urban Backpack https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-101816030-15212828?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.level8cases.com%2Fproducts%2Flevel8-urban-backpack%3Fvariant%3D9059450912991 💙 Save 10% with code: barelypacked10 👕BARELY PACKED For the journeys you take and the ones you're dreaming about.
