Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to talk about my plan to live on nothing but cruise ships for at least a year

I'm on a 16 day Panama Canal cruise it's been pretty great so far

my goal is to keep the cost at about a hundred dollars a day so about three thousand dollars a month

I am cruising completely solo the cost that I'm talking about is as a solo

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep cruise cost at about $100 per day including fare, port fees, taxes, and gratuities
Book longer cruises (7+ days) for better cost per day and older crowd
Travel carry-on only even for a year-long cruise
Use back-to-back bookings on the same ship for extended stays

YouTube Video Description

In this video I discuss my plan on live on nothing but cruise ships for a year. I spent 20 years in the Navy. I've been retired from the Navy for almost 8 years and it's been almost 10 years since my last Navy cruise. I figured it was time to return to sea. I decided that the best way to do that was to solo cruise for a year. I plan on jumping from cruise ship to cruise ship and cruise line to cruise line. I currently have cruises booked on Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lins, Royal Caribbean Cruises, and MSC Cruises. ______________ ★ Join this channel to get access to fun perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKUaRwG_DS3OKGs8DRYVUNQ/join ★ Perfect Travel Shirt: →My audience now gets a 10% discount from UNBOUND MERINO when you use the discount code: WAKEUP at website https://shrsl.com/3j0ru ★ Minimalist Travel Bag I Use: → Nomatic Travel Pack: https://amzn.to/3v9Zv9P ★ Camera Gear I Use: → Iphone 12 Pro Max: https://amzn.to/3qbHxSQ → GoPro Hero 9: https://amzn.to/3oCVkkA → Mic: https://amzn.to/3u9oHMy ★ My blog: https://www.30andawakeup.com ★ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/30andawakeup/ #solocruise #cruiseship #cruising
