Creator's Key Takeaways

I started full-time solo cruising on the fourth of July of this year so that was my Independence Day

I'm booked up all the way to the end of November of 2025 so I will be selling the high seas and just enjoying life

Living on cruise ships is costing me about 800 to 1,500 a month then when I add in gratuities and other little things my budget comes out to about 2,000 a month

Solo cruising is a great stress reliever

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Test out solo cruising first to see if it's for you
✓Do the math on your finances to see if you can afford it
✓Research and look at your budget to know how much money is coming in and going out

Getting tired of cruise food — There is so much variety; you can have different meals every day and don't have to eat the same thing twice
