Creator's Key Takeaways

if this Trans-Pacific cruise had been the first cruise that I had ever taken, I definitely would not be living on cruise ships right now

It honestly was the worst cruise I've ever been on

in his 36 years of sailing experience that he had never experienced such bad seas in his entire career

I was starting to question some of the menu items, especially the fresh catch since we hadn't been on land in so many days

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book an inside cabin for rough sea crossings to reduce motion sickness and noise
โœ“Avoid trans-Pacific sailings in late season (October) due to typhoon risk
โœ“Be prepared for potential seasickness even if you've never experienced it before

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Imagine being on a 16-day cruise from Seattle to Tokyo โ€” only to face massive waves, snow at sea, and 10 sea days trapped inside as your ship battles three powerful typhoons in the Pacific. That was my reality as a traveler living full-time on cruise ships. In this raw and honest review, I share: โš“ What itโ€™s really like to experience extreme weather at sea ๐Ÿšช How it feels when the entire outside deck is closed for days ๐ŸŒŠ The sound of waves crashing all the way up to Deck 11 โ„๏ธ The surreal moment it started snowing mid-ocean ๐Ÿซก And whyโ€”despite the chaosโ€”I still trust the incredible captain and crew who kept us safe. Whether you're planning a repositioning cruise, dreaming of retiring at sea, or simply curious about life aboard during rough crossings, this video will give you an unfiltered look at the realities behind the sunsets and sea views. If this had been my first cruise, I might never have become a full-time cruiser. But after living on cruise ships, Iโ€™ve learned what to expect, how to prepare, and when Iโ€™ll hesitate to book this type of sailing again. ๐Ÿ“… Cruise: 16-Day Seattle to Tokyo ๐Ÿšข Ship: Discovery Princess ๐ŸŒช๏ธ Conditions: Between 3 typhoons | 10 sea days | rough seas โœจ Subscribe for more cruising adventures, honest cruise reviews, casino comp tips, and what itโ€™s really like living full-time at sea. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Subscribe Here ๐Ÿ’ฌ Comment below: Would you still cruise a transpacific sailing after an experience like this? #CruiseLife #DiscoveryPrincess #SoloFemaleTraveler #TranspacificCruise #TyphoonSeason #CruiseReview #LivingOnCruiseControl #FullTimeCruising #RetireOnAShip #CruiseTips #RoughSeas #RepositioningCruise #CruiseVlog #PrincessCruises #TravelOver50 #CruisingSolo #CruiseVlogger
