Could I Live on a Cruise Ship? My Honest Thoughts After a Month at Sea! If you enjoy this video please support my channel with a Super Thanks, like or subscribe! After 29 days aboard a transpacific cruise, I’ve had a true taste of what long-term cruising—and even residential cruising— might feel like. In this video, I’m sharing my personal reflections, surprising discoveries, and the pros and cons of life at sea for the long haul. I’ve previously explored the idea of residential cruising with ships like Villa Vie Residence’s Odyessey, Crescent Seas, and Explorations by Norwegian, and those videos sparked some big conversations! But now that I’ve actually ‘lived’ onboard for a month, my perspective has evolved—and I want to take you inside that experience. Whether you’re dreaming of selling up and sailing the world, or just curious if extended cruising is for you, this video is packed with honest insights, relatable moments, and maybe a few laughs too. 📍 Topics I cover: Intro: 0:00 Initial Expectations vs. Reality 1:42 Daily Life Onboard 06:54 Social Life and Community 9:06 The Cabin as ‘Home' 10:25 Food and Dining 13:13 Financials 18:44 Health and Wellbeing 23:30 Port Days, Travel Fatigue & Comparison to Land Travel 26:32 What Surprised Me the Most? 34:09 Could I live on a cruise ship full time? 36:25 Perfect for future long-term cruisers, cruise curious travellers and fans of world cruises, slow travel, and retirement at sea.
