Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm usually not choosing a cruise at all. I'm choosing freedom. The cruise is just a vehicle that gets me there.

Nowadays, the cruises have to support my life, whereas before my life revolved around where the cruises were going.

Sometimes the most exciting cruise isn't the best choice. For me it's the easiest cruise in the location that I really want to be in.

Cruises are my house, a my floating office, my four walls and a roof over my head until I figure out what's next.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Prioritize location and lifestyle goals over the specific ship or excitement.
Calculate the total daily cost including flights, hotels, and transfers to see if the cruise is actually a deal.
Look at cruises in sequences (back-to-backs or side-to-sides) to minimize unnecessary hotel nights.
Use cruises as a tool for transportation and routine rather than just for vacation excitement.

Choosing the wrong cruise can be expensive and time-consuming.Focus on how the cruise fits your existing agenda and location needs rather than just the ship's amenities.

YouTube Video Description

Living full time on cruise ships means I evaluate cruises very differently than the average vacation traveler. In this video, I share the process I use to decide which cruises make it onto my calendar and which ones don't. If you're interested in full-time cruising, cruise ship living, travel freedom, or alternative lifestyles, this is how I approach planning life at sea. 🌅 Welcome to Poverty to Paradise 0397 — where we’re not chasing more, we’re chasing meaning.
