When we check in at the dock in Seattle, the porters will take our luggage and then bring it to our stateroom most likely sometime after we set sail.
Royal Caribbean suggests the following for your carry-on:
For the first day of your cruise, pack a small carry-on bag with your
travel documents, a change of clothes, bathing suit, maybe workout
clothes, and any medications you may need. This will allow you to begin
enjoying your vacation immediately, because you won't have to wait for
your bags to arrive at your stateroom.
I usually don't worry about a change of clothes, as the first night is casual in the dining room. However, I do try to have available my toothbrush, toothpaste, makeup and other personal items I may wish to use to freshen up before dinner. And, of course, I have my camera at the ready!
Also, I usually have a book or magazine available to kill time until the luggage arrives and I can get settled in the room.
Think about what you would like to have available to you for the afternoon we board the ship and pack it in your carry-on. Spending the night at the hotel before our cruise makes this an easier task than if you were coming directly from the airport.

Of note, in checking the Royal Caribbean website, it reads:
We
regret that luggage tag mailers are no longer available because the
number of requested mailers has exceeded our permissible limits. You may
secure your luggage tags from our porters once you arrive at the pier.
Glad we ordered ours! One less item to worry about on cruise day.
