      I'm not sure why I just tried it, and it worked. You might be running something like Norton or another antivirus that's may be causing that ? Am I try a different browser also ​@nessah23

    Whole household in your little residence. Very neat and organized! You know where everything is. That's amazing. Your cabin is cleaner than the majority of houses that people own - from what I've seen on You Tube, I will never understand the ways of the world when it comes to their homes. If you feel a little crowded, you've got the huge ship to walk, swim, exercise, relax, dine, read, etc. You definitely have the best of both worlds.

      If you ever did camping or lived in an RV you can live with 1/4 of this stuff. Less equals more. I only travel with a backpack & personal item and did so for 6 months all across Europe. However, I have an upcoming trip onQM2 and this will be the first time I'm traveling with a checked piece of luggage too because I need formal wear and will be on several cruises for 2 months.

    Even if it was just me alone, I'd be climbing the walls after being stuck in such a small space for months on end. In particular I'd miss having a large comfy chair to sink into. Yet you manage to cope with it as an office as well. I admire your organizational ability and cheeriness

      As a frequent cruiser I can tell you that on a cruise ship you mostly use your cabin for sleeping. Other than that - there's a huge ship at your disposal. So no, the small cabin does not drive you crazy (assuming that you are not crazy to begin with)

    Thank you very much for a tour of your cabin. I was a long time Royal Caribbean Cruiser in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s and am slowly convincing myself I need to go somewhere again. And that means no Caribbean I hadn't realized that you were World Cruise could be booked in smaller segments so if they ever do this again that will be very high on my list. Your videos are very informative professional and yet lead us to see a part of your comfortable life aboard this cruise ship. I look forward to the rest of your cruise and if you don't mind I might even pick your brain with some questions one of these days or after you return. Thank you very much and happy travels❤

Also, note that Royal has cruises around the world in Asia, Europe, and mediterranean. all over, so even without the world cruise, you can cruise another areas happy travels. 😊

    Many great tips and organizational tools and glad it works for you. I am not a minimalist at home, but trend that way traveling. One carry on suitcase lasts me for 6 weeks...I am rather low maintenance with no health issues. This clutter would stress me out completely. Even cutting it in half for a solo traveler would be more than I could imagine. But 9 months is a long time to plan for.....maybe I underestimate the needs.

    I saw a documentary of a woman who permanently lives on cruise lines. She said it was more affordable than high end assisted living. She does have to stay in port sometimes. She also does those cruise ships that are just moving from destination to destination with minimal passengers.

    • @livingphase2

      I have heard of others doing this as well. When you have a place to stay and all your food is included and don’t have any bills to pay. It could make sense.

    I have seen other travelers on TH-cam say you have to leave the ship completely every so often and move back in. Does that affect your travel? Also how much of the room is cleaned for you and how much do you do yourself? Do you have to clean the shower area etc. Just wondering.

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      We signed up for the full world cruise at the beginning. So we do not have to move out. Other people signed up for segments or mini legs and it’s possible their rooms change with each cruise so they have to move. Our room steward, cleans our bathroom and changes the towels And sheets weekly. Empties the trash and makes the bed daily and vacuums as needed.

    Gracious! That is an enormous amount of items in such a small space. You both must be very organized people at heart. This was a great video. I have a question... would you choose the same type and location of cabin if you did this trip again, or would you change locations/cabin types?

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Interesting that you ask this. We actually went to the next cruise desk and booked an Alaskan cruise in 2025 and we are trying a cabin at the very back end of the ship looking at the back. We’ve never had one there and so we are going to try it. But otherwise, we’ve been very happy with the location of our room. It is nice and quiet.

    First time viewer here. You guys have probably covered this before but did you do a lot of cruising previously to this world cruise? It seems like you guys did your homework and knew what you would need and how to keep it all organized. We’ve done a 4-day cruise (Caribbean) a 10-day cruise (Alaska) and now we’re about to do a 14-day repositioning cruise to Japan. If the 14-day doesn’t feel like too much, our goal is then try like a 30 or 45-day cruise. Eventually working our way up to a year long cruise. It was nice to see you guys making it work. Happy Travels!

      It’s pretty easy to move around the room, it may look tighter on the video. But he does make the bed empties the trash, and replaces washcloths daily. Then he vacuums and changes sheets weekly.

    Thanks for the inside look! We get on Coral Princess on April 26th. And we got upgraded to a oceanview which we’re happy about. And will be in the same cabin until August 15th. Then we have another cabin for 4 days. Then another one for 11 days. Then we’re on land for a full 10 days before we get back on Coral Princess for another 14 days! I just got an extra small suitcase and hit the charity shops for more things to wear at dinners. We have also packed 6 small magnets and 4 heavy duty ones. As well as a half-dozen magnetized bag clips. We’re going to rely on the ship’s laundry except for my delicates (we have Elite status which means free laundry). We only have 8 or 9 pairs of shoes between us so the closet floor will have do.
    I’m glad to hear you can use your VPN with the ship’s wifi. As well as using the TV as a second monitor. With no issues, I assume? I hope that’s the case for our ship as well. Bon voyage!
