How do you go from a budget weekend getaway to a high-end luxury sailing in the same season? 2026 is officially the year of the sabbatical, and I am using my nine weeks of vacation to try out as many cruise lines as I can! In today’s video, I’m opening up my notes to show you how I balanced my schedule between "Old Faithful" favorites and brand-new cruise lines I’ve never stepped foot on before. I’ll share which ship has me feeling a bit anxious about the price tag, the upgrade hack that landed me a balcony for a steal, and why I’m preparing for 15 nights straight on one of my longest sailings yet!
