🚢Why I Gave Up Carry-On Only After a Year of Living on Cruise Ships

🎒 Why I Gave Up Carry-On Only After One Year Living on Cruise Ships

After a full year of living exclusively out of a carry-on and backpack, I finally had to make a change. In this video, I’m sharing why carry-on only stopped working, the surprising challenges I faced with strict airline weight limits, and how I now travel full-time with a new luggage setup that works for both international and domestic flights.

🌍 Whether you're planning to cruise full-time, travel light, or fly overseas, these are real-world packing lessons learned the hard way—plus a look at my new Level8 Voyageur 28” checked suitcase and how I organize it for long-term travel.

🧳 Mentioned in this video:
✔️ My honest reason for upgrading from carry-on only
✔️ Airline weight limits that forced my hand
✔️ Backpack + sling bag setup to stay compliant while maximizing space
✔️ What I pack (and DON’T pack) for cruise life
✔️ How the Level8 Voyageur 28” suitcase fits into my new system
