Creator's Key Takeaways

one of those things that we've wanted to try was living for a long time time on a cruise ship to see if it's something that we could do indefinitely

the food can get repetitive and this was whenever we've done this in the past this was a mistake we made

the connectivity with the internet a lot of the ships say they have fastest Wi-Fi at C it is the slowest Wi-Fi I most of the time

would we do this again I think we would do it again I think the reason is cuz every time we do it we're getting better at it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a month as a trial run before committing to longer periods
Choose newer ships with more dining options to avoid food repetitiveness
Check ship reviews for entertainment and internet connectivity before booking
