You asked for it and here it is, a fully updated cruise cabin tour of our 9-month ultimate world cruise Serenade of the Seas cabin.

I think you guys should get a prize for living so long in such tight quarters and still liking each other. Lol.
Nancy here, it helps that I am married to my best friend.🥰
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!
You do learn to live in a very small space. 😁
If you ever get tired of the catering business you could definitely go into the organizational business. Love this!
Thanks so much.😀
Or voiceovers! You guys both have nice voices!
You have done an amazing job at fitting a full house into 170 sq ft. And whats even more amazing is its still clean. I would have things everywhere 😂. Great video!
Thanks so much.
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.
Thanks so much!
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!!
I love all the ideas but hanging all the stuff everywhere would drive me bananas. I love the under bed bins though…great idea.
I know, some people can’t stand to see all the stuff on our walls and I get that. It just works for us in the small space.😉
That cabin looks like a hoarder’s paradise. All the clutter would make me crazy.
It certainly isn’t for everyone, but all the stuff on the walls keeps us organized.
Don't think that comment was needed.
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
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.😉
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!
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.😉
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❤
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. 😊
Thank you for taking us through the room again. This is very helpful for anyone planning a future cruise.
Our pleasure!
You two are really organized. Reminds me of my old camping list. I used to say it has everything you need and nothing you don’t . Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome! Mike was a long time Boy Scout leader so that probably had something to do with it too. 😁
Wow! You have thought of everything when organizing your cabin. 👏👏 I can only begin to imagine how difficult it is for room stewards to clean cabins that are not organized like your cabin. Thanks for sharing this information, there are so many handy tips for other cruisers.
Thanks so much. I would hope others are keeping their cabins organized as well.😉
I loveeeee cabin tours to see how people organize their stuff - even on 7-day cruises
Thanks when you're on a 9-month cruise you sure have to stay organized
Your so organized ! Can't believe your halfway through , time really does fly. I think of all the memories you will have , you are blessed . Wishing you safe travels from E. Tennessee 🙏.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing how you’re living onboard! And thanks for continuing to share your journey. My wife and I look forward to every update and we’re enjoying living vicariously through y’all! We’ve gotten some great organizational tips for our cruises, too!
Our pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this! I was wanting to see how all your planning was playing out. I loved your first tour and glad to see it now. Thanks for letting us into your world. Be blessed!
You are so welcome!
Y'all are troopers. So happy to be able to share in your adventures.
Thanks. It's our joy! 😄
Thank you for sharing!
You guys are incredibly organized. GREAT JOB!
Absolutely amazing! Well done. Keep the great videos coming. Happy cruising!
Thanks so much!
Congrats on the Sponsor. You guys have earned it. Such good content!
Thanks so much!
You two did such a great job at organizing your cabin!
Thank you so much!
Great cabin tour, so well organized and there’s still room for the two of you! 😁
Thanks so much! 😊
Yall have so organized. It's great. Continue to have a wonderful time.
Thanks so much!
Wow!!! Everything has its own place! I’m saving this video, just incase I ever get to take a long, long cruise too! Thanks for sharing 🛳️🛳️
Oh thank you.😀
Really enjoyed that, thank you! It's fascinating how you've fitted so much in!
Thanks so much!
Thank You for sharing, love the way you both organized your space ✨️👏🏾
Thank you! 🤗
Great info. Have a wonderful trip.
Thank you for your updated tour. I saw the first one you initially did and thought what an undertaking that would have been to plan it all out. But more importantly, you are sunshine on my little iPhone screen. You both seem genuinely happy, content and grateful. Thank you for being YOU and enjoy the rest of your cruise. 🇨🇦
Thank you for such kind words. It did feel like an undertaking, although remember, we had over a year and a half to plan for it all so we just worked on it in bite-size pieces.
I am so jealous…you have planned well and are doing great with organization in a limited space. Hope you are enjoying your journey!
Thanks. We are having the time of our lives!
What a surprise!!!!!!I think id live on the balcony!!!!!With the water and all its spectacular!!!I think you should start packing around 7 months!!!
It was at about seven or eight months that we set up a table in the basement and started laying things out on the table to pack.😉
I like how you have made things accessible but not on the floor. Smart!!!
Talk about organization!! Wow! I'm very impressed!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour!
It helps us plan for our upcoming month and a half Europe cruise!
Thanks for watching. And enjoy your cruise!
Wow you guys....I'm impressed with that organization! Hats off to you both!
Thank you so much!
So impressed with how you have your cabin all organized. Have a great time and I’m looking forward to hearing from y’all again.
Thanks so much!
You two are very enjoyable to watch.
Enjoying your journey very much.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing - excellent planning indeed.
Thank you!
This is wild and I love the idea! My husband and I have talked about retiring in an RV but now I'm considering a cruise ship. Great use of the limited space you have!
After this an RV is our next big Life Adventure
Hello M8,e and Nancy.....what an organized room ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 i believe that you have to be very organized to be able to navigate through a room that small...thank you so much for sharing your videos ❤❤❤❤ i just love your videos ❤
Thanks so much
Another great video! Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks so much!
Loved your walkthrough after all this time at sea. Once again, thanks for taking me on your world cruise. Loving every minute of it. 💖💖
Thanks for your kind words and thank you for following along in our journey.
Thanks for sharing. You brought a lot of things that make life comfortable. i like how everything has its place. I'm going on a 25 day cruise. You've given me some ideas that I can use, like the baskets and magnetic clips. Continue to enjoy your cruise.
Thanks so much and glad we could help.
Thanks so much. We love cruising and you have given us a lot of organizational tips!
Our pleasure!
Thanks for the comprehensive cabin tour, it has helped me plan my 3 month world cruise.
So glad it was a help. Enjoy your cruise!
That’s a refreshing perspective to your cruising. Nice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Thanks for sharing about all of your exciting upcoming cruising. That’s wonderful!. We’ve had no issues using the TV as a second monitor.
Great tour very well organized. Happy sailing❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
This is amazing. You have done an outstanding job organizing your mansion. Enjoy your world travels. 🌷
Thank you so much!
my bucket list ❤
Yes!
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey. I love RC and I love cruising. Living vicariously through you two. ❤
Thanks so much! And we appreciate you following along on our journey.
I am contemplating doing a long cruise. This video really helps. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
That was very interesting look at the cabin . Great to see how well your planning worked out. I'm pleased to see you are posting more regularily now . Am eagerly awaiting your visit to Hobbiton.
Thank you. Hobbiton is our next video to release!
It’s important to stay organized in such a small space😊
Love all your videos!
Thanks so much!
Wow what a wonderful informative video - you should write a book it would help so many people - such a lovely couple to watch- have a ball!!!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great video. You are so well organized!.! Thank you. Would so love to do this.
Thanks so much! 😊
You did a great job planning what you thought you would need. Great job organizing 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Great order and plan....you are really living, not just surviving with nothing, had to share this one with family...thanks for ideas on longer journeys when there are 2 people.
It's one of the really good things about traveling this way is you can bring more of the comforts of home with you since you're not traveling and changing hotels and packing and unpacking
@@livingphase2 I enjoy you two so much...yes..I do see that and one has to have enough and just move in and weather and needs change etc,,,I love that you did as small as possible room and stuff for 9 mos. and are still living and moved in and love they do laundry in your/or their cruise budget plan...and the little balcony...your xtra storage ideas...and enjoy just watching you r channel and traveling joys...thank you.
Hey Guys
Wowwwwwww!! You guys did an amazing job setting up your cabin for your wonderful 9-month cruise. Thank You for the Great Tour. I am sure it took a lot of planning !! Great Job..
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your cruise.

Wow, So many things I never would have thought about but you have showed they are needed.
We truly have used most everything we have brought along.
Thanks for the tour. You have done well keeping it all organized. The balcony and ocean waves, so relaxing. That would be my favorite spot. 🛳 🌊 😍
We really do enjoy our balcony.😀
This is my first time watching your channel! You have turned that little cabin into a comfortable and very nice little home while you explore the world! I am so happy for you both!
Thanks so much for your kind words. So glad you found us and thank you for following along now on our journey.
Nice job! Very entertaining and informative video. Nice that you trade off commentary. Your explanation makes for a great advert to live extended time on board cruise ship. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just came across your channel and WOW talk about a dream come true, Thank you for sharing this with us and I just subscribed...😊
Thanks for subscribing and thank you for following along on our journey!
Thanks and you both are looking well
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the tour. Very interesting. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.
Thanks so much. And thank you for following along in our journey.
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!!
Watch our channel will be doing another live stream where we'll be taking questions, hope you can tune in and we can help answer any you have
Keep having fun!!!! 🥰
Thank you!
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.
Glad it's all helping. Our next adventure is probably going to be an RV after the world Cruise. Safe Travels!
Wow so organized in such a small place. Really enjoyed your video and taking us through your mansion. I'm just waiting for how are packing it all up when we disembark. 😋 But seriously have thoroughly enjoyed your journeys and your format. Great job. Happy cruising ❤
Thank you so much. 💓
Fantastic planning and organization. Stay safe.
Thank you!
I hadn’t been caught up for the last few weeks. Just logged in and I have to say, you two look fantastic! It looks like both of you have really trimmed up with all your walking adventures. I truly enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much!! 😊
You guys are very organized! I love that! You give me inspiration to take a 3 month cruise!
Wonderful! And thank you for your kind words.
Your manse looks fabulous and you two look like Honeymooners!👏👏👏❤️ Everytime I see you both, you're smiling and enjoying every moment of sharing your newest adventures and your "home". It's so refreshing 😻🤩. Thank you for sharing! Safe travels ❤🫂
😊 thank you
WOW i have been on 92 cruises covid took away japan and south america. i am impressed. but wow 9 months is a long time. you are very organized. impressive.
Thank you very much, all those places are fully open and welcoming tours again, time to get back out there! 😃
@@livingphase2 LITTLE cruise outta Cali next month but Grandson is only Electric Winning Driver in Europe since 2020 we go over for a month each year to see him race! Priorities. (lol) enjoy! will continue watching your journey!
I can't even think of how I would plan for a world cruise. You've done an amazing job with it. Enjoy the rest of the cruise.
Thanks so much. But remember, we had over a year and a half to plan for this.😉
Well organized.
I loved this cabin update, and seeing how you guys have mastered this small space to exactly meet your needs. Every aspect of your adventure has been a joy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing.🛳️🛳️
Thanks for your kind words and thank you for following along on our journey.
I must say you two are very well organized good job
Thank you so much 😊
It's an amazing use of space😊
Thanks so much!
You are so organized. Enjoy the remainder of your trip!
Thank you! Will do!
Thx. Always enjoy you traveling videos. We bring a battery thermometer w/remote that I hang out on the balcony so we can also see the outside temp. Zip ties (all lengths) and electrical tape come with us for repairs. Glue can be handy too!
Those are great ideas! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your “home” with us.
Thank you for visiting our home!
I am really enjoying your videos!!
I'm so glad!
Amazing. I am so envious. To be able to do a 9 month cruise is a dream.
It is the dream trip of a lifetime! We feel so blessed!
i remember one of the first episodes when you arrived the explanation of all you brought and thoughts of planned uses. This was a pretty neat episode to see how all those thoughts and plans paid off. (I imagine you doing a little dance when things fit and worked out...but then i worked part time at the Container Store for years so I am an organize nerd). Enjoyed and can't wait to the next chapter.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thanks for following along on our journey. We are doing the happy dance that things worked out as planned.
Great organization
Very interesting. Thanks for doing that.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! You guys put a lot of thought and planning into this. I’m impressed. After your trip I would be curious to know what you would do differently, if anything. Very well done! Love from Texas ❤
It’s very possible will do kind of a final wrapup of what we should have done differently. For the most part, we are pretty happy with what we brought along.
