In this video, I break down how much it cost me to live on a cruise ship in February 2025. I took 2 cruises last year and played in both of the casinos and had a net gain of $400 from those 2 cruises. I started getting offers to cruise for free and was able to book 60 cruises [so far] on casino deals for sailings starting April 2024 to November 2025 and I am still getting more offers from those 2 cruises. ----------------------------------------- CHAPTERS 00:00 A year of Living On Cruise Ships PAID FOR by YouTube 01:38 My Budget for Living on cruise ships full-time 02:50 How Much YouTube paid me this year 07:47 YouTubeAfter40 Course 09:20 How much it cost me to live on cruise ships this month 11:18 How I Wasted $700 on a cruise ship 13:28 How I Got a free cruise this month ----------------------------------------- Hi!
