Creator's Key Takeaways

we were on for 31 days mhm these are not the older people you expect we were probably on the younger side on this Cruise these people were so active oh my gosh they put us to shame so badly

we would go back on it in a second it had great stabilizers it was a very smooth ride

we got the Great Barrier Reef cruise for two of us $1,385 for a week but wait there's more and it came with $750 of Australian currency on board credit

we saw a mama koala with the baby on her back run across the trail right in front of us

50 days of cruising the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, aboard the Majestic Princess and the Carnival Luminosa and time spent in Australia β€”what did we see and what did it cost? Did all that cruising sink our full-time retirement budget? We’ll break it all down. This is our nomad spending for October and November 2023. Our apologies for the quality and sizing of this video--we tried new editing software we'll never use again and it had upload issues.
