Let me start by saying that this was my son's and I first cruise and it was wonderful!!!
Background: I am ? something...lol and my son is 25 years old.
Packing: This was a four day cruise, you really don't need that much, so we only packed a wheeled 22 in. carry-on luggage and a carry-on shoulder bag each, we wanted to carry our luggage on so we could unpack and not have any worries about lost luggage (i'm glad i did this) you will see why later.
