Creator's Key Takeaways

I live full-time on cruise ships. And for the next month, cuz I don't give out my schedule ahead of time, but um I'll let you know for the next month.

I'm here on Freedom of the Seas. It's my first time on the ship, so I can't answer too many questions or just any general questions about living full-time on cruise ships.

I'm planning on this being my Royal Caribbean Casino Year 2.

I lost six lbs. How everybody keeps saying I cannot live on cruise ships cuz I know I'm going to gain 100 pounds. No, you don't.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use free shuttles and trains in Miami to save money on Ubers and taxis.
If you want casino offers, just go play and get in their system; don't worry about a specific amount.
Consider using a life water straw instead of buying bottled water.

YouTube Video Description

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?
