[@terriz7791]

You have done wonderful planning! I can’t imagine getting it all organized and then managed to get it all on the ship. You need to write a brochure about planning for a world tour.

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much!

[@middleagedwoman2743]

Yes, that is an excellent idea! Thank you for sharing, really helps me to plan what I need when I go cruising. I would of never thought of a lot of things you have shown. Thank you again and Happy Cruising!!

[@bonnieborak5887]

How in the world did you know what items would fit in the little totes and baskets? Remarkable organization!

[@kristenwilliamson8455]

I love that you have a balcony! I think for any length of time it’s nice to have a private retreat other than your room.

[@livingphase2]

For this amount of time, we absolutely had to have a window. We need natural light.

[@patriciaschmitt6448]

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.

[@GlobalAdventurer]

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.

[@charlab.7838]

I don't think I could do this. All that stuff in my room literally would make me crazy! Kudos to you all for planning!

[@livingphase2]

You do learn to live in a very small space. 😁

[@theresaartigue4813]

Imagine getting off the ship with all that stuff. Wow

[@tinyablake1593]

I was gonna say the same thing it would drive me crazy 😅

[@foreverautumn2625]

[@worrywart1311]

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

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much. As a reminder, we’re really not in our cabin all that much. So we really don’t feel like we’re stuck in a small space.😉

[@nicoletwisk5122]

It's a CRUISE SHIP. Not a prison😂. They aren't in solitary confinement 😅

[@ilanapeled209]

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)

[@ssas98]

How do you not gain lots of weight after eating the 24/7 availability of food? That would be difficult for me!

[@FraserAtSea]

I spent about 10 months living mostly on cruise ships last year, but I travelled across a number of cruise ships - it's amazing to see how you guys are living in just one cabin - I do think it could drive me INSANE, ha! So glad to have found your channel today!

[@livingphase2]

So glad you found us. Well, since you’re a well seasoned cruiser, you know we’re not in our cabin very much except to sleep and do video filming and editing.😉

[@robincarley7323]

I think you’ve done amazing at covering your needs and staying organized! People who are critical might be comparing apples to oranges; you can’t compare what you’d take on a one week cruise vs what you need for daily life for nearly one year! Bravo and best wishes!

[@livingphase2]

We had two years to prepare and had spreadsheets and lists all over the place of things that we would need.😉

[@terrijanecek3505]

Can you please do a video of how you managed to get all of that on the ship and how you plan to get it off?

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❤

[@livingphase2]

Sure, we're happy to answer questions. We will also have another live event where you can send us questions we can answer. We're not sure when that's going to roll around, but we will do another. 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.

[@livingphase2]

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.

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!

Your organization is off the charts! I watched one of your videos early on when you did a similar walkthrough. It’s SO good! My question is: have you gained weight, lost weight or maintained your weight? I’m afraid that I would gain so much that I’d have to buy all new clothes! But there’s another gentleman who has been living on cruise ships for almost a year and he recently lost about 30 pounds by watching what he eats and walking around the ship each morning. Is getting healthier part of your plan while on the ship?

[@livingphase2]

Nancy here, I have gained 4 pounds but said when I joined the cruise, I would not gain more than 10. We watch what we eat and usually have a salad at lunch and I eat a light breakfast. Supper in the main dining room I will often choose Fruit for dessert but not always.

I have seen other travelers on KZbin 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]

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.

[@joanhall3718]

I’m building van for my retirement. You are giving me so many good ideas. There are so many things you don’t think about before you start living in a space. I have a year before my van will be ready so I’m going a bit crazy thinking about what I need/want. Because I won’t have a ship to escape out into I will need to keep it less cluttered but I still need to cover many of the same functions. Don’t know where I’ll hang my “flirty” clothes 🤣, love that term.

[@livingphase2]

Thank you. The outfit came either from Amazon or Costco. And we did request a mattress topper to add a little cushion to the mattress and make it a little more comfortable. They did replace the mattresses right before the cruise.

[@andariegos9466]

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!

[@livingphase2]

We had done less than a dozen cruises before the world cruise. And our longest cruise before this was seven days.

Wow! The hidden gem for me was the bottle brush! Going on my shopping list. I usually do a vigorous “martini shake” but this will be a much more thorough cleaning. It’s been 7 months since our last cruise - I’m ready to sail again!

So glad we could help. Hope you get on a cruise soon.😀

Love your travel experiences. I have booked a world cruise in January 2026 which goes to many of the same ports so your insights are helpful. This video is particularly interesting from a practical standpoint. Still raises nots of questions I would like to discuss with you when you return. Keep the videos coming!!
