Creator's Key Takeaways
I am here on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. I'm on this ship for three sailings.
I've been living probably nine months living full-time on cruise ships with just a carry-on and a backpack.
I'm back to my check bag, my carry-on, and my backpack. And I'm going to show you what's in them.
I'm a budget cruiser. So, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on checking bags all the time.
