Kathy, we buy our larger luggage pieces at Costco and have had great luck with both Kirkland brand and Ricardo of Beverly Hills. On long cruises, we travel with something similar to a 25" soft-sided piece (don't know the size) and a large soft-sided rolling duffle bag. If I were buying a new piece, I'd definitely want the spinner wheels. I just looked for you and Costco has Samsonite ultralite spinner sets as well as Ricardo Beverly Hills hardsided spinner sets. With the way checked bags are treated these days at the airport, I save the investment priced luggage for carryons because no matter how good the luggage, rough handling is going to tear it up.
