Creator's Key Takeaways

I am on Freedom of the Seas and today is a port day and thought I'd come to you live.

So far, I'm having a really good time on this ship. It's only been a half a day.

I love Royal Caribbean shows. All right, so let's see if this camera will let me do it.

I get two free days of Wi-Fi, but it would be different, of course, it was a if it was a 7-day cruise, right?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions before you get on the ship as they often sell out.
If you want a shaded lounge chair on a port day, book a back-to-back cruise to be first on board.
Always bring a rain poncho and umbrella on cruises, as weather can change.

Ever wondered how much it REALLY costs to live full-time on cruise ships? 🌊 For the past year, I’ve lived on cruise ships — not just for vacation, but as a lifestyle. In this video, I break down exactly what it cost me for the month of June, what I spent over the entire year, how much income I made on YouTube to cover it all, and how I’m planning to do it again in Year 2 — including getting paid to cruise to Hawaii! 🏝️ 📌 Want to see previous monthly expense reports?
