Ah gotcha. That's actually a valid point. Separately my 4x5 gear isn't a lot but with all the other cruise stuff, could add up. Or if I bring my full 4x5 camera bag now I have another full bag to lug on the plane. I've done that before, but not when also lugging all the other stuff around as typical for a cruise.
