Creator's Key Takeaways
I am in my mid50s and recently left the corporate grind to pursue a lifetime of full-time travels where cruise ships are my home base.
I've never had an issue with Wi-Fi, not even once. I've been able to stream movies, watch YouTube, I've been able to use my phone.
It's not the easiest journey, right? Especially if you have things that you know have been handed down generation over generation. And I know it's not an easy process.
The more the marrier. The more the marrier.
