YouTube Video Description↓

Hey Sailors, most people think saving money while working on cruise ships is easy because as a crew member, you don’t have to pay for food, rent, or transport which are some of the most costly things on land. I was one of these people, but after working on ships for 4 years, I now know it’s not as simple as you may think. In this video we will go through some of the mistakes I made during my time as sea, so that we can all learn from them, and at the end I will advise you on things to be aware of which will make saving money, more doable. This video will be a great watch if you are thinking of working on a cruise ship and want to save money or, maybe you currently work on cruise ships but are finding it hard to put away the pennies. I hope the advice helps you create your little nest egg.
