We’re getting ready for our 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise on the NCL Bliss, and in this video we take you with us while we pack everything—clothes, shoes, toiletries, electronics, and all the little cruise “must-haves” we never travel without. We’re also partnering with BAGSMART again, and this time we’re putting their Getaway Luggage Set (20” carry-on + 26” checked) and their compression packing cubes to the test. These bags were gifted to us, but everything we share is our honest opinion—and spoiler alert… we love these bags. We walk through the features we care about most: the expandable zipper (hello, souvenirs), sturdy smooth-rolling wheels, TSA locks, recessed handle space (so you actually get more usable room), and the inside layout—including a compression divider panel and a waterproof pouch that’s perfect for wet swimsuits on the way home. The 26” also has a built-in luggage scale on the handle, which is such a game-changer if you’ve ever had to reshuffle your suitcase at the airport. Then we show our new cruise outfits (yes, we like to dress up), how we use compression cubes to fit more, and what goes in our embarkation-day bag: swimsuits, meds, lanyards, sunscreen, insulated cups for those first-day mudslides, backup batteries, Kindles, and our anti-theft travel purses—because travel smarter is always the goal.
