5 Things Nobody Told Me Before I Moved Onto a Cruise Ship Full Time

Three years ago, Kirk and I sold our home in Canada and accidentally started living full-time on cruise ships. We genuinely love this lifestyle — but looking back, there are some BIG mistakes we made in the beginning that could have saved us money, stress, and missed opportunities. In this video, I’m sharing the 5 biggest regrets we have after 3 years of living on cruise ships... including the cruise line loyalty mistake that cost us the most, the reality of living in a tiny cruise cabin, and the one thing I still genuinely cringe thinking about.
