Creator's Key Takeaways
We're Rick and Angie, a couple that retired early to slow travel the world on a $5,000 budget with the help of using cruise casino deals and points and miles.
So, the first week of the month, uh, from February 1st through February 8th, we were on the Royal Caribbean, Harmony of the Seas, a seven night cruise.
So, uh, we did have a little bit of laundry. Can't remember where we washed the clothes at, but, uh, it's usually in a hotel.
So we were within budget this month. Kudos to to Angie and I uh for making that happen.
