Creator's Key Takeaways

When people find out that Kirk and I live on cruise ships, they say that we're living the dream.

We've traveled with people we met months ago. We've been picked up from airports. We've been invited to people's homes.

For the past three months of cruising around the world for two people, including cruise fairs, hotels, flights, Wi-Fi, drink packages, and transportation, we spent $35,100.

Living on cruise ships for us is fun, fast, and sometimes frustrating, but it's also unbelievably rewarding.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Create an Excel file to organize all details for ship hopping.
โœ“Book and plan at least the next few ships in advance, including hotels and transportation.
โœ“Master packing into a carry-on for frequent moves between ships and hotels.
