Creator's Key Takeaways

It is one of the worst cruises and travel experiences, honestly, that I've had to date.

The captain actually said word for word that in his 36 years of sailing experience that he had never experienced such bad seas in his entire career.

I've never experienced anything so harrowing in my entire life. At some point, it was scary.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“If doing a crossing with many sea days, an inside cabin might be better to avoid the noise of wind and waves hitting the balcony.
โœ“Stay in the middle of the ship to minimize motion.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Extreme weather and motion sickness โ€” If this were your first cruise, it might have discouraged you from cruising entirely; be aware of the season.
Being trapped inside โ€” Understand that sea days during storms mean you may not be able to access any outdoor amenities.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Imagine being on a 16-day cruise from Seattle to Tokyo โ€” only to face massive waves, snow at sea, and 10 sea days trapped inside as your ship battles three powerful typhoons in the Pacific. That was my reality as a traveler living full-time on cruise ships. In this raw and honest review, I share: โš“ What itโ€™s really like to experience extreme weather at sea ๐Ÿšช How it feels when the entire outside deck is closed for days ๐ŸŒŠ The sound of waves crashing all the way up to Deck 11 โ„๏ธ The surreal moment it started snowing mid-ocean ๐Ÿซก And whyโ€”despite the chaosโ€”I still trust the incredible captain and crew who kept us safe. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Shop My Cruise Essentials (Amazon Storefront) From cabin must-haves to travel gear I use living full-time on cruise ships โ€” these are my go-to items. โ†’ https://www.amazon.com/shop/livingoncruisecontrol (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” ๐Ÿ’Œ Cruise Control Postcards Receive a real handwritten postcard from the cruise ships and ports I visit around the world.
