Creator's Key Takeaways

I started full-time solo cruising on the 4th of July of this year. So that was my Independence Day.

I've been able to book 60 cruises. So I'm from the 4th of July of 2024 and I'm booked up all the way to the end of November of 2025.

Living on cruise ships is costing me about 800 to 1,500 a month. Then when I add in gratuities and other little things, my budget comes out to about 2,000 a month.

I would say test it out first. Two, of course being an accountant, I'm going to tell you the same thing I did. Do the math on your finances if this is something that you can do.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Test solo cruising first before committing long-term
โœ“Do the math on your finances to see if you can afford it
โœ“Book accessible cabins early if you have mobility issues
