Editorial Summary

Lynette and Johan explain their recent departure from their ship to visit family in Arizona and Sweden. While filming from a mountain cabin in Sweden, the creators address various viewer questions regarding their lifestyle of living in a purchased ship cabin. They clarify that they invested in a cabin on the Villa Vie Odyssey to lock in a monthly rate, which serves as their home base while allowing them the flexibility to travel or rent the space out when they are away. The couple discusses the financial aspects of their arrangement, including the all-inclusive nature of their monthly fees which cover meals, Wi-Fi, and laundry. They also touch upon medical services on board, the friends and family program that allows guests to visit, and how they manage mail and excursions. The creators conclude by sharing their upcoming travel plans, which include visiting Alaska and Victoria with Johan's mother before continuing toward Japan and the South Pacific. They emphasize that they are not wealthy but chose to invest in a ship cabin instead of a traditional house.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We bought a cabin on a ship. That's right. So you guys haven't heard from us for a while.

We paid 100,000 for a cabin cuz we were in ground floor one of the first people before they had a ship.

We're just happy we locked in a low price and we just got to cover that and money for excursions and then we're good.

The cabin is only a bedroom. Remember that. We only sleep there and shower there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Chase points for excursions when possible.
Ask ChatGPT for local activities and plan routes back to the ship.
