Creator's Key Takeaways

Most people couldn't last living full-time on cruise ships at all. Not for a month, not for a year, and definitely not full time.

You are going to forget that this is a lifestyle and not a vacation.

You don't have control of what time the ship leaves, what time you get to the ports, what time you leave, how long you're in the port.

You're always in public outside of your cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have a budget and plan for emergencies and unexpected expenses.
Develop routines but also be flexible to adapt to ship schedules.
Learn to live out of a suitcase and minimize belongings.
Build the mental capacity to handle changes and take initiative.
