The REAL Reason I Cruise Solo Isn't What You Think... (Personal Q&A)

Creator's Key Takeaways
I've been cruising for 25 years now. I took my first cruise back in 2000 as I mentioned earlier on the Carnival Tropical.
My biggest pet peeve about cruising is when people are rude to or mistreat the crew. I cannot stand that.
Norwegian Cruise Line has actually stolen the crown at this point. They do solo cruisers better than any other cruise line.
If you're going to be selling with other people, I'm going to probably not film as much. And if I really want to create content, then I'm going to go solo.
