Out of the experts taking the shakedown tour in the first film, I only remember Gennaro having any carry-ons, and even then, it was just a briefcase; no second set of clothes.

I know it's a dumb thing to get hung up on, but it always bugged me and felt weird seeing these people intending to stay for more than one day on some Costa Rican island not bringing even the barest of essentials with them. It wouldn't have hurt the story any to show Grant, Ellie, Malcolm and Gennaro carrying a couple of duffel bags and such. Nothing huge. Just something we could assume had a change of clothes in them.

In Jurassic World, we do see Zach and Gray's mother loading some suitcases into the van at the beginning, but these things pretty much disappear once they arrive at the island; they have nothing between them except Zach's backpack and Gray's "dork pouch." Even when Zara takes them to their hotel room, I don't remember them bringing their suitcases in. Did they leave them on the ferry? Your question isn;t that stupid, it's actually a legitimate query

In the first movie, I always just figured that the luggage was stored in a different compartment of the helicopter to give the gguests more room in the cabin. From there, it was probably taken by employees to their rooms in the Visitors' Center. I'd imagine they'd have had to leave it all behind when they left the island.

In JW, the same thing could be the case. It was kept below-deck on the ferry, and then employees took it to guests' respective roooms at the hotel. I'd also imagine that given the fact that the hotels at Jurassic World are all essentially luxury resorts, a lot is provided for guests, for example toiletries.
