I loved going to sea, but until you make E5 you are always working! The only bummer I see with Liveaboard vs van life is control. In van land you get to be the skipper and get underway whenever you want, to wherever. Then again, there is a real zen to hearing "underway, shift colors, and just going where the sea takes you.

We took 2 cruises when our children were older and for a family of 4 they were really inexpensive vacations because food was included. We did not do any excursions but had a great time in the ports just walking off the ship and exploring on foot. They were my husband's favorite vacations. Now that he has passed away, I am going to do a cruise by myself... we will see how that goes. Travels in our vehicles is not the same without him, but I can't just sit at home base and now that I have done it, l know I can live very inexpensively seeing this country. Gas was my biggest expense in January. No camping fees, I cooked my own meals and purchased fresh ingredients from roadside stands. It was a great break and very relaxing.

I just got off a NCL cruise this morning. I purchased future cruise credit (1K worth) and got $500 on board credit. Since I didn't buy anything else on the ship because I don't drink or gamble and I purchased a starbucks package before the cruise, that $500 on board credit went directly to the future cruise credit. So, I'm getting 1k of future cruising for 500. I did overspend a bit and bought two back to back Alaska trips for next year, getting them for $150 a day. But, Alaska has been a bucket list for me for over a decade. So, I jumped on a 16 days worth of Alaska cruising even if it's a bit more expensive. Question though: Have you seen the NCL cruise first promotion right now? It says you pay $250 and get $500 in value back for future cruising. Wondering if you think that is a good deal?

It’s 3 bucks to wash and 3 to dry. I hang dry all my stuff in the room though. also, since I am elite now…I get free laundry service if I want.

Question on the credit for buying stock. Do you email them? How many shares do you need to buy and what proof of purchase do you need?

yes you email the proof that you own at least 100 shares. usually your monthly brokerage statement is enough

Thanks for another great video! I’m most curious about how you buy 100 shares of RCL (+$60 per share) for under $1000. Any tips?

@@craigo2142 You can get 100 shares of Carnival Corp for under 1,000. Carnival Corp owns Carnival, Princess, and Holland - and you get share holder credit on all of those.
