YouTube Video Description↓

Are you setting out on a solo cruise? Do you feel a little GUILTY about vacationing alone? Do you feel guilty about some of the things associated with SOLO cruising? (Or cruising in general?) If you feel a pang of selfishness or self-consciousness for SOLO cruising, let's talk. (And if you feel no guilt at all---GREAT!) Also: What about those things you "should" do while cruising....that you really don't want to? What about those things you NEED to do while cruising....that fellow cruisers might frown upon? From formal night to working aboard, in today's video we cover 8 topics I want you to embrace WITHOUT guilt. And while it's a strange topic for a video, (since when do cruising and guilt go together?) hear me out. Some of these may strike a chord with you! Dump that guilt and have a great trip! Have I left out anything you'd like to add to the conversation? Do you have encouragement or a tip for your fellow new solo cruiser? If so, please leave a comment. Enjoy! #cruise #solotravel #solocruise #solo
