Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been living on cruise ships for almost two years now

I got rid of 99% of my possessions so I could live fulltime on cruise ships

When I average this entire year out, um, excluding group trips, that comes to about $2,500 a month

All of these cruises were earned from casino plays back in 2023 through 2025

Build your own world cruise using casino cruise offers and strategic planning
Average monthly travel costs can be around $2,500 for a full-time cruise lifestyle
