Creator's Key Takeaways
Hi everybody, it's Don and I hope you're having a fantastic day.
An inside cabin on budget budget cruises, no packages, no internet, no nothing, no dining pack, no nothing will still run you in the $100,000 range for two people.
Lots of pitfalls living on a cruise ship.
One person I've talked to recently who has just moved to a cruise ship for 2 years had their expenses in an inside cabin jumping from ship to ship. They thought they costed out. It was going to cost them, they thought, around $120,000. And they are about 8 months into it. And they are already over $230,000 just from the unexpected things that they found they needed to do while living on a cruise ship.
