HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO LIVE FULL TIME ON A CRUISE SHIP WITH SUPER MARIO

Editorial Summary

Alanna and Super Mario discuss the financial logistics of living full time on a cruise ship. The conversation begins by categorizing cruise lines into luxury and contemporary segments, noting that luxury lines can cost twice as much. They identify several critical budgeting factors, including the choice of cabin type, whether one is traveling solo or with a partner, and the specific mix of cruise destinations. Mario provides a detailed breakdown of costs for a solo traveler using an inside cabin as a baseline. He calculates an average daily cost that includes the cruise fare, taxes, and tips, totaling approximately 185 dollars per day. This results in an annual budget of roughly 72,000 dollars for an inside cabin, while a balcony cabin costs about 102,000 dollars and a junior suite reaches 136,000 dollars. The creators compare these figures to the national average cost of assisted living, which is approximately 100,000 dollars per year. They conclude that while an inside cabin might be cheaper than assisted living, a balcony or suite will likely exceed those costs. Finally, they clarify that these basic budgets exclude discretionary spending such as specialty dining, alcohol, internet, and shore excursions.
