I have a Kipling rolling duffle which we love for cruising.

I bought one to take on our Honeymoon Cruise and it was an unknown brand. It split right next to the zipper and almost ruined our trip. We spent the time in Florida finding a replacement suitcase!!! And we bought the Kipling which looks like new and is lightweight. It's not huge - it's equal to a 25" pullman for space.

In those days, you checked your luggage right through to the cruise, but, we decided to go claim our luggage because we changed planes. My stuff was all over the baggage claim!! I packed in tied plastic grocery bags (this was before 9/11) so that I could just unpack and put the stuff in the drawers on the ship. It was just an experiment to do that but it sure worked. All my shoes and swimsuits for our honeymoon! Yikes!

It's good for things like swimsuits, pillows (we sometimes take one) and shoes and other things you don't care about wrinkling. I like the standard pullmans for things that wrinkle
It's never been overweight. Our pullman (27" had just bordered on overweight at 68 lbs and once I had to re-arrange in the airport. with the 25" to avoid a charge, [Linked Image]
