Creator's Key Takeaways

Pro number one, there's basically no luggage limits.

You aren't spending those travel days cramped in a middle seat on a budget airline.

Because you aren't booking or airport transfers for the whole family, you are saving hundreds, sometimes thousands before you even set sail.

Just book the earliest arrival window you can, drop off the bags, and get to the buffet before the rush starts.
