Creator's Key Takeaways

I am spending more time on cruise ships, more days on cruise ships than I am at home this year.

You get to go to new places in a comfortable, enjoyable, action-packed, entertainmentpacked way.

It can get kind of isolating and lonely when they're all here for one week of vacation.

Food variety is limited after extended periods for sure is more of a big deal on smaller ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider switching ships often to avoid entertainment getting stale.
✓Choose bigger and newer ships for more dining options during extended stays.
✓Be prepared for social dynamics where short-term vacationers may lead to loneliness.
