Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been able to figure out how to travel on cruise ships as your home base being less expensive than it is to live on land.

As a solo female traveler, for most of my journey, I am traveling solo for now. Um, and I feel very safe.

It's impossible to exist on a ship, in my opinion, without getting at least 10,000 steps a day.

I just find airplane travel so much more inconvenient now when I can travel on a cruise ship and be hanging out, sleeping, being entertained.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be aware of your surroundings when you go into ports as you would in any city.
