HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO LIVE ON A CRUISE SHIP
When most individuals think about living on a cruise ship full time, odds are they are thinking about cruisers like Super Mario. He has been living on Royal Caribbean Cruise ships for over 20 years. To do this, he strings back-to-back cruises together, staying on the same ship for months.
If this is your plan for living on a cruise ship, you should contact the cruise line. With this arrangement, you will quickly reach the cruise line's highest loyalty program tier. Depending on the cruise line, this can entitle you to perks like free drinks, internet, laundry services, or other benefits.
These benefits can significantly reduce the overall cost of living on a cruise ship. Once you pick the cruise line, you need to pick a stateroom category. The cheapest stateroom category will be an inside stateroom. Picking this type of cabin will seriously reduce the cost of living on a cruise ship.
Beware of the single supplement. This is a charge given to cruisers sailing solo. If you don't strike a deal with the cruise line, you might have to pay double for your cruise fare. Depending on the stateroom category, the cruise fare will likely range from $125 to $175 a person or 250 to 350 a night for a cabin. This is based on sailing year-round in the Caribbean.
Thus, cruise fares alone can vary anywhere from $90,000 to $over $127,000 for a cabin per year.
When calculating the cost of living on a cruise ship full-time, you must remember several additional amenities. There are the daily gratuities, which are about $15 dollars a person per day. Odds are you will want WIFI access while onboard. Then there is additional spending money for experiences like tours and excursions, specialty dining, or spa services.
All of these add-ons will quickly increase the cost of living on a cruise ship for a year by tens of thousands of dollars.
Luckily, one benefit of living on a cruise ship is that most meals, non-alcoholic beverages, entertainment, and activities are covered in the cruise fare.
When adding all of the different budget items, we estimate that stringing back-to-back cruises will most likely cost around $125,000 to over $160,000 a year.
But this is not the only option. Cruisers can also book a world cruise. These cruises often last 3-6 months in length. Here you can visit multiple places over the span and have the same cabin. The benefit is you are surrounded by like-minded travelers.
Or, if you have the means, there are residential cruise ships. These function like a condo where you purchase a cabin on a ship. Currently, the World is the only residential cruise ship. Cabins here cost between 1 million to 8 million to owe, plus yearly dues. A second ship, the MS Narrative, is set to debut in 2026, cove cabins at similar price points. While these are perhaps the easiest options for living on a cruise ship, they have a hefty price tag.

IT IS MY THINKING, WHEN I WIN THE LOTTERY, I MAY DO THIS LOL

Another option to my idea is to ask the Cruiseline to give a quotation for a long duration stay at 1 (or even more than 1) ships. I am sure that a personally tailored package can be created that is more competitively priced. This is more like a subscription service. It could even include switching between ships.

@Eatsleepcruise1 8 месяцев назад

Yes, that is similar to what Super Mario does on Royal Caribbean. He usually stays on a ship for months at a time and works to block out a cabin. But, they still have to book it as individual cruises.

If I was to do this, I'd move from high tax DC to Miami with no state income tax, and a vastly larger number of cheap cruises out of Miami, compared to Baltimore, a short train ride from DC. I would take a lot of mostly MSC Cruises if I was trying to minimize expenses and try to stay on one ship, and the same interior room (like Super Mario) and change cruise lines when it makes sense.

I would be bored to death on msc

@CruiseDude1 5 месяцев назад

What has been your experience when cruising on MSC? @@bettyb1581

@danm6695 8 месяцев назад

So what is the price for the world cruise? Better yet, if you go on a world cruise, do you have to wait for your loyalty points to kick in after the cruise is over? Great video. Always nice to see something different about cruising.

@Eatsleepcruise1 8 месяцев назад

World cruises 3-4 months long can be around $30,000 to $40,000 for an inside, depending on the cruise line, based on double occupancy. Luxury cruise lines can be more money.

Living on a cruise ship full time you have to have money, when you get older it becomes a problem, medical, care, and if you really get sick you could be stuck in a a country that could charge the world for your medical expenses, Insurance companies won't like that idea to much risk, its only for rich people!

Sounds to expensive to live on a cruise line

@mjs28s 2 месяца назад

but you are also buying a lot of your time back. No need to deal with many of the little things. I you are a digital nomad that gives you more time to get your work done without having to worry about grocery store trips, cooking, cleaning, and whatever maintenance you home needs over time. No dealing with misc car maintenance, car washes, etc. Want to find a place to chill? Well, you will probably learn pretty quickly the places that people tend to be at which times on cruise ships so I wager you will find peace most anytime you want (outside of your cabin). Want to socialize, walk 150 feet from your cabin and go do some group activity. No need to call people to try to get folks together. You just leave your place and within 1 minute or two you are in the thick of things. Then, of course, you can be going all around the planet, depending on the cruise you happen to take. Seems like a pretty great ROI if you ask me.
