After 1,000+ nights on cruise ships, embarkation and disembarkation just keep getting easier.

And the back-to-back process on Princess in Southampton is actually nice, even when you switch cabins. You toss your loose items in a bag, walk off, and come back a few hours later to a brand-new cabin already set up with your stuff.

It all makes full-time cruising feel effortless. 🚢

I’ve spent 1,000+ nights on cruise ships, testing major cruise lines like Princess, Virgin Voyages, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Cunard, Celebrity, and NCL. Here’s my quick review, and how my husband and I decided our favorite cruise line to actually live on!
What’s your favorite and why?

I live on cruise ships full-time. I have designed a life that provides maximum freedom, time, and experiences.

My husband and I have taken 70+ cruises… over 1,000 nights, with over 600 on Princess Cruises. All of 2026 is already booked full of back-to-back cruises!

Just me waking up on a cruise ship on a beautiful day in a fun port. Standard AMAZING day! 🛳️🎉

Except this time… surprise! My port day lined up with the first day of the annual Malaga Fair (Feria!) and Inaugural Parade. Great fun! 🤩

My “day in the life” video also includes guides and tips in case you ever visit Malaga, Spain! 🇪🇸

Living on cruise ships means we book back-to-back cruises for many months at a time. But the process is probably simpler than you’d think.
Here’s how we choose and book our cruises, and why w choose to cruise around Europe instead of the U.S.

Here’s what I spend each month living full-time on cruise ships. As minimalists, $2,755 covers all cruise and non-cruise expenses for both my husband and me. This video breaks it down.

No car. No house. No chores. No errands. Just a simple life with stress-free travel, and I’m doing it on a super low budget.

My full annual budget of $39K also includes a couple of “land vacations” and healthcare expenses — more on that later.

I feel honored! 💕
