Creator's Key Takeaways

the cost is fixed so once you pay that price whether you pay for the New Horizons thing the endless Horizons thing which is $350,000 for 15 years

they stay multiple days in ports in a lot of the ports so you're getting two three four days in port instead of pulling in at eight and leaving at four

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a cabin for a couple months to try the ship before committing hundreds of thousands of dollars
Consider renting from an owner for certain segments of the cruise
If you're a solo cruiser, the inside cabin is the most financially sensible option

Financial risk if the company goes out of businessConsider the risk, as it could leave owners in a difficult situation, similar to owning stocks in a company that goes bankrupt.
Being stuck with people you don't like for a long periodOn a normal cruise, annoying passengers leave, but on a resident ship, you might have to live with them for years.
