Creator's Key Takeaways

A big warning regarding this cruise line is that they do not have a ship yet. Other residential cruise line startups have been in this position and they ended up going bankrupt.

The only cruise ship with a poor score for the month was the Carnival Breeze. It received the minimum passing score of 86.

One of the challenges with being a solo cruiser is that there are very few solo staterooms available. As a result, most of the time solo cruisers have to pay what is called a single supplement.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Wait until a new residential cruise line has an actual vessel before making any deposits.
βœ“Consider subscribing to stay up to date on cruise news.
