In this episode, Justin and Joy unpack their first family cruise and why they went from “landers” to full-on cruisers after sailing Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. They share what surprised them most, nonstop entertainment, great food, five-star service, and a built-in rhythm that helped their family connect each night at dinner. They also give practical tips for cruising without overspending, like booking smart deals, skipping unnecessary upgrades, and avoiding common on-board money traps. Along the way, they talk seasickness realities, fun ship facts, and why cruising may be their new favorite way to travel as a family. *******************Felon. Dropout. Drug addict. Alcoholic.
