After 3 years living on cruise ships full-time, here’s the honest truth. I share the 21 worst things — from tiny cabins and nonstop noise to slow Wi-Fi, short port days and constant upsells. My husband and I still love living on cruise ships, but this is the everyday reality most people never think about. My goal is transparency, and I want you to see both sides. In this video, I’m sharing what it’s really like living on a cruise ship full time after 3 years at sea, including 200+ nights on Sky Princess with Princess Cruises. We’ll cover cruise ship living day-to-day: small cabins, noise, motion and rocking at night, slow cruise ship wifi, laundry, medical care with Type 1 diabetes, missing family, short port days, turnaround days, loyalty status chasing, casino comps, plus the extra costs that can make your bill huge, like cruise gratuity charges. 👉 Read my husband Dan’s article about automatic gratuities: https://medium.com/@danrome007/how-cruise-lines-fool-you-into-thinking-tips-matter-41afb50d5ea0 👉 Watch my full cruise ship lifestyle cost breakdown here: https://youtu.be/JL1IBWFWw50?is=a1xkb6DQHO7ygwsk 👉 Hear about my radical path to extreme minimalism and a life of freedom and exploration: https://youtu.be/9EGqBGVOOPo?is=PKl6exTjr3uwCusq 👇 What’s your least favorite thing about cruising?
