Creator's Key Takeaways

Carrying on your bags is nice because they stay in your control.

You don't have to worry about things getting lost, damaged, or stolen, and you have them right away.

The downside, of course, is you've got a shle bag.

Checking your bag with the cruise line can be a great option. It's super convenient.
