Not sure if this would be worse or better than living in a converted school bus with your kids in shelves Edit: not sure if its the tone of this comment but im not making fun of any abuse that happens to people who live in vans, im sorry if this is how my comment came off
If you live in a converted school bus your parents teach you the earth is flat and Zack and Cody showed me that if you live on a cruise ship you go to Yale so the bus sounds worse.
CJ Tudor literally wrote a short story about a cruise ship full of people of all ages that have been living there for decades after a natural disaster - and lemme tell you it got real creepy and dystopian real fast. It's called "End of the Liner" on "A Sliver of Darkness" if anyone's interested
I think I'd actually go insane if I lived on a ship with other people and there's a random person i have beef with but we're in the middle of the ocean and they can just throw me overboard
I think more realistically they would get in trouble with their cruise line if they spoke poorly of any customer. Especially since she's been there almost a decade and has definitely put in a lot of money on it. Anyone that seemed agreeable with her likely have the same opinions as her
In the full context of the statement, it's clear she thinks they're there for everyone, but just that she gets a kick out of when she's the only one on board.
I feel like 'the help' is a yikes no matter what... like if you're referring to domestic employees it's maybe accurate but it's so belittling, like I have to take the servants' stairs
3:30 The other reason they’re so cheap is because these ships are registered in poorer countries, often ones in Central America. These countries have lower minimum wages and far more relaxed labor practices and regulations.
As someone who lives in a port where cruise ships come and occasionally abandon their staff (You quit? You stay here. No, we won't take you home.), can confirm.
Yea I remember when I took my first cruise and went to an Asian style restaurant on it and the person made the food directly in front of you. He used the oil to make a smiley face then used his spatula to drag out to the eyes to then say “oooh! Asian eyes!!” While all the other (white) people around me laughed. I kinda sat there uncomfortably thinking to myself about how often I saw the workers basically degrade themselves because they desperately wanted your tip n such. That was on carnival cruise line back in Feb 2023 lol
@@ms.tatortots5419jesus yea. something similar to that happened to me, im the youngest in my extended family by a lot so they all laughed their asses off at the staff degrading themselves
for some time now, older people have been staying on cruise ships because they are cheaper than nursing homes. cruise ships are one of the most stressful places to be a doctor, because of how many chronic issues the passengers have, how many things can go wrong, and how few resources they have. fun fact: large cruise ships also have a morgue :D
I commented the same thing before seeing yours. It definitely poses additional issues for the staff. Also, many contagious diseases sweep through cruise ships and old folks are more vulnerable than the general public.
@@rmb6037 i think she could have used a better word, but also she's probably one of those old people who refuse to acknowledge that language has changed and that's not an okay thing to call people anymore. hopefully she's not that way in other regards but also i don't know her so i'm not gonna say anything else abt it lol. she's definitely got some opinions.
yeah, i honestly would like to retire on a cruise ship when i'm older, i've heard Not Great things about nursing homes so i feel like a cruise would just be better. i wish more people would talk about the actual environmental impacts of cruise ships instead of just being like "cruises are stupid, people who like cruises are stupid" like obv that's not what danny is doing but it feels like a lot of the responses are just that. like cruises aren't perfect obv, but it's weird how we're blaming individual people and not the companies running the cruise lines as a whole
@@RustysInfernocalling hospitality workers "the help" is incredibly insulting and says a lot about how much she considers them people worthy of respect
4:50 no danny the Amazon person would be furiously swimming to the ship, trying to catch up. on the brink of death, lungs filled with water, and screaming "YOUR ORDER OF 200 NUTCRACKERS IS HERE"
Then they have to swim back to shore and finish the rest of their route, and the next package recipient files a complaint that their hand got the box wet.
The cruises actually hate it when old people live on their ship because they end up having to provide extensive care most of the time. Falls are difficult to treat well at sea.
4:39 Danny, fun fact, there is a way to get mail on a boat, these people called like mail runners or sm literally have to SPRINT to grab the mail from the mailbox, and have to RUN to actually get it on the boat- I forgot how much it pays but that’s a fricking crazy job- like imagine your whole job basically is us running to two different places and if you don’t make it your like screwed-😂
there is a cruise line that is primarily marketed to older folks (i don’t remember which) because i believe it’s 18 or 21 and up only and pretty much everything is scheduled earlier in the day. it’s a good cruise to go on if you’re young and wanna avoid people because if you can just do stuff later than the older people and there’s no children running around
The worst part about this is how terrible it is for the planet. Cruise ships make the most greenhouse gases per passenger out of any mode of transportation, and they’re completely unnecessary. People don’t even go on cruises for the sole purpose of boats; transportation. You can go to a waterpark on land, a casino on land, concerts on land, and restaurants on land. Doing them on a boat is pointless.
Ship* And maybe, just maybe, people enjoy being out on the water. Sure, you can do those things in landlocked places, but you don't get the gorgeous view of the ocean or the chance of waking up in a different place every day. Don't get me wrong, I hate how bad "cruises" (let's be honest, it's humans that are bad for the environment, as they created all of that) are, but it's a dream of mine to go on one. I'd prefer to go on an ocean liner, but those aren't exactly a thing anymore.
@@englishatheart Welp, the gorgeous ocean views probably won't be there all too long for future generations to come if we proceed like this (alongside polluting our oceans every chance we get), but hey, what is the planet's wellbeing compared to your ocean liner dreams, huh?
The "problem" with it being comparitively cheap is that it's difficult to work. So it's only really feasible if you can make all your money online and that job (whatever it is) allows you to not have your own permanent space. It will be interesting to see if more digital entrepreneurs do this and if that then drives the price up.
My great aunt did this for almost 5 years back around 2000. Even though she owned several houses and thousands of acres in Canada, she preferred to live on a cruise ship. Before she decided to go non-stop, she had a camper trailer and would stay there until the next cruise came in. She was a retired chemical engineer and had worked hard all her life. She was my inspiration to be more than a mom and wife that most of my peers in my tiny town became. I miss her dearly. I am a polymath with 4 degrees... I wish she could see me now 💐
@@shannonceleste5557 you have to see your doctor every 6 months to a year to get them filled sometimes sooner depending on the medicine but maybe the ship has a doctor ?
That’s what I was thinking! And like even if they get them when they dock, what happens if there is supply shortages of a certain medication when they dock and they have to leave before they can get their meds? That 88 year old is going to die and expect the “help” to deal with it!
I work at a cruise ship terminal, trust me, it’s all retired people already on most ships. 9:10 The only people who aren’t in the “nearly dead” category are the MOST BORING “newly weds” ever who don’t know how to plan a vacation on land.

as someone who was working for a cruise company for quite some time (in the office on land, though, selling cruises) - cruises are mainly for old people. Thats not a new concept, it's the MAIN concept. Other cruises (disney, singles, and so on) come second, when it comes to clientel. In the sales team we were asked to offer cruises to younger people with kids, young families etc, because the company wanted to widen their range in potential clients
dude i have to start fully paying attention bc i looked away for a second and suddenly danny was in a suit (i thought it was real for a sec, it was fairly well edited for some reason)
I was just on a cruise and met a gentleman who “worked from home” and only spent 30 days of a year off the ship! Booked back to back to back cruises by winning them through the casino. I cannot imagine. I will say he did not get the same room every cruise, and would have to get on and off the ship each time.
That was my first thought. You’d have to switch rooms like every week or two, take all your things on and off the ship to re-check in, have all your documents (passport etc) re-verified, possibly even quarantine… what a pain.
@@DKF_oliyou actually don’t if you book in advance. If you book the exact same cruise and go back to back you can keep your same room too and not have to pack all your luggage. You just get off and get back on (but you get to get back on far earlier than everyone else!) They already come to clean your room daily so it’s not like anything changes. My mom actually has been looking into doing this for quite some time and knows some friends who have lol, she already takes like 2 cruises a year.
Literally ten seconds later she says it's the exact opposite of that. Ah, but you couldn't let something as petty as "what she actually said" get in the way of such a *BANGER* of a comment, right? The world woulda been a worse place without this creative masterpiece of a comment, truly the work of the century.
This just seems to be a different flavor of van life, but instead of being for adventurous 20-30 year olds to go to different national parks, it’s for retired people to primarily be on the boat and MAYBE get out and explore a dock every one and a while lol
The other reason cruises are cheap is because they're registered in countries with low minimum wage. A lot of the non-american workers on cruise ships are only making $2 / hour
I'm somewhat attracted to minimalistic and nomatic life styles, but this sounds like a nightmare. There is just something about cruises that's so unappealing to me. I haven't even been on one, but I don't like all inclusive hotels, unethical tourism or very curated tourist areas. Cruises are all three on hard mode....
0:59 life is easy he says. Pirates make life easy. Waves are easy. The smell of the bodies in the ship morgue is easy to deal with. Eating the same thing every day is easy.
6:50 lol I drive an 89 y/o woman around and help her with her errands (she pays my generously) but that's exactly what I say about her. "I love her. She has her opinions, but she's... I love her!" She's set in her ways and lonely, and I may disagree with her 'opinions,' but she's nice to me and I'm grateful.
1. Cruise culture is insane and living on cruise ships has been a thing for a long while. 2. Why do people still listen to Graham (guy from beginning) anymore? He's promoted multiple scams while claiming to "not give financial advice"
*"Rent wise it's not terrible " Uh where I live $2k literally gets you a tiny studio apartment in a not terrible but not great neighborhood so that price on a cruise ship is actually pretty amazing. Especially for people who actually desire to live on the water.*
This is my chance to shoutout Virgin Voyages, one of my favorite vacations I've gone on in recent memory. Their food is outlandishly good and they treat the crew with genuine respect which is awesome

I go on a lot of cruises, it’s impossible.
now this is your official outfit to talk about anything boat related
different strokes for different strokes, but hearing the sentence "three year cruise" made my heart clench
Different folks is how that saying ends
imagine getting on a cruise at 27 and getting off of it at 30
u mean different strokes for different folks?
yeah i’m uncomfortable just thinking about it. even a month is probably too long for me. THREE YEARS???

0:48 when retired Americans do this they usually have a friend or family members address listed as their residence for tax purposes and store sentimental valuables in a storage unit or with family. They also sometimes have their own properties to go back to.

Not sure if this would be worse or better than living in a converted school bus with your kids in shelves
Edit: not sure if its the tone of this comment but im not making fun of any abuse that happens to people who live in vans, im sorry if this is how my comment came off
It’s great for the parents bc they have a king bed! For abraham and elijah and enoch and abigail and judah and sarah and malachi probably not so much
my parents actually wanted to do this but they were only gonna use it as a camper thing for road trips
better solely because the cruise ships have a lot of stuff to offer other than just accomodation
Hmm that's hard.. u get free food but you have to listen to tropical beach music in the background everywhere you go 24/7
If you live in a converted school bus your parents teach you the earth is flat and Zack and Cody showed me that if you live on a cruise ship you go to Yale so the bus sounds worse.
CJ Tudor literally wrote a short story about a cruise ship full of people of all ages that have been living there for decades after a natural disaster - and lemme tell you it got real creepy and dystopian real fast. It's called "End of the Liner" on "A Sliver of Darkness" if anyone's interested
Oh that sounds fascinating, thank you for sharing!
I'll check it, thank you for recommending!

thanks for the rec!
I think I'd actually go insane if I lived on a ship with other people and there's a random person i have beef with but we're in the middle of the ocean and they can just throw me overboard
this is so real
But have you considered this -> you can throw random people you have beef with overboard

They won’t actually do anything about it because of, you know, the implication.
@@Omnibushido- nah bro, just imagine you're arguing with them while at the front of the ship and they pick you up and just throw you over💀
I’m so disturbed by all the people acting like that old lady is an icon when she’s a walking red flag.
because it's a joke and it's funny lol
@@murmirr it’s only a joke and funny if you agree with it, otherwise it’s disturbing.
I think more realistically they would get in trouble with their cruise line if they spoke poorly of any customer. Especially since she's been there almost a decade and has definitely put in a lot of money on it. Anyone that seemed agreeable with her likely have the same opinions as her
@@alexr3900 I was referring to people in the comments, I totally understand the cruise ship staff not feeling free to criticize a customer
Most old people are red flag but they are funny
I love how the great grandma called the workers “the help”, like they are there for just her
In the full context of the statement, it's clear she thinks they're there for everyone, but just that she gets a kick out of when she's the only one on board.
I feel like 'the help' is a yikes no matter what... like if you're referring to domestic employees it's maybe accurate but it's so belittling, like I have to take the servants' stairs
3:30 The other reason they’re so cheap is because these ships are registered in poorer countries, often ones in Central America. These countries have lower minimum wages and far more relaxed labor practices and regulations.
As someone who lives in a port where cruise ships come and occasionally abandon their staff (You quit? You stay here. No, we won't take you home.), can confirm.
They also make a lot of their money from gambling and similar on board luxuries
Yea I remember when I took my first cruise and went to an Asian style restaurant on it and the person made the food directly in front of you. He used the oil to make a smiley face then used his spatula to drag out to the eyes to then say “oooh! Asian eyes!!” While all the other (white) people around me laughed. I kinda sat there uncomfortably thinking to myself about how often I saw the workers basically degrade themselves because they desperately wanted your tip n such. That was on carnival cruise line back in Feb 2023 lol

for some time now, older people have been staying on cruise ships because they are cheaper than nursing homes. cruise ships are one of the most stressful places to be a doctor, because of how many chronic issues the passengers have, how many things can go wrong, and how few resources they have. fun fact: large cruise ships also have a morgue :D
This is why I didn't see her calling employees "the help" as anything sinister. I was like "yeah, she's probably happy to stay close to help"
I commented the same thing before seeing yours.
It definitely poses additional issues for the staff. Also, many contagious diseases sweep through cruise ships and old folks are more vulnerable than the general public.
@rmb6037 her calling employees "the help" is 100% malicious
@@rmb6037 i think she could have used a better word, but also she's probably one of those old people who refuse to acknowledge that language has changed and that's not an okay thing to call people anymore. hopefully she's not that way in other regards but also i don't know her so i'm not gonna say anything else abt it lol. she's definitely got some opinions.
yeah, i honestly would like to retire on a cruise ship when i'm older, i've heard Not Great things about nursing homes so i feel like a cruise would just be better. i wish more people would talk about the actual environmental impacts of cruise ships instead of just being like "cruises are stupid, people who like cruises are stupid"
like obv that's not what danny is doing but it feels like a lot of the responses are just that. like cruises aren't perfect obv, but it's weird how we're blaming individual people and not the companies running the cruise lines as a whole
A LOT of seniors cruise over and over before they die. Many seniors die on cruises for this reason!
4:00 so they expect you to spend money because of... the implication
did she say that she likes to stay alone in the ship “with the help”? ahahahaha i bet they love her…
wait idk why everyones freaking out over her saying "the help" could u plz explain
@RustysInferno it's an insulting and patronizing way to refer to someone
@@breadpilled2587It also has v racist connotations, it's normally working class immigrants that have that label slapped on them

4:50 no danny the Amazon person would be furiously swimming to the ship, trying to catch up. on the brink of death, lungs filled with water, and screaming "YOUR ORDER OF 200 NUTCRACKERS IS HERE"
not for what they pay amazon workers lol
im thinking of the mail dude from ninjago ngl
Then they have to swim back to shore and finish the rest of their route, and the next package recipient files a complaint that their hand got the box wet.

Nah it was 87’… the bite of 87’. I can never forget.
@dizzyglizzy58cried myself to sleep ever since 😢
The cruises actually hate it when old people live on their ship because they end up having to provide extensive care most of the time. Falls are difficult to treat well at sea.
I can’t believe he made this whole video without mentioning suite life on deck
Suite Life On Deck irl
Danny ponders cruise living logistics for 13 minutes and 12 seconds
4:39 Danny, fun fact, there is a way to get mail on a boat, these people called like mail runners or sm literally have to SPRINT to grab the mail from the mailbox, and have to RUN to actually get it on the boat- I forgot how much it pays but that’s a fricking crazy job- like imagine your whole job basically is us running to two different places and if you don’t make it your like screwed-😂
there is a cruise line that is primarily marketed to older folks (i don’t remember which) because i believe it’s 18 or 21 and up only and pretty much everything is scheduled earlier in the day. it’s a good cruise to go on if you’re young and wanna avoid people because if you can just do stuff later than the older people and there’s no children running around
The worst part about this is how terrible it is for the planet. Cruise ships make the most greenhouse gases per passenger out of any mode of transportation, and they’re completely unnecessary. People don’t even go on cruises for the sole purpose of boats; transportation. You can go to a waterpark on land, a casino on land, concerts on land, and restaurants on land. Doing them on a boat is pointless.
These boomers don't care about the environment. They'll be dead by the time it affects their area of the world.
Especially if they don't even leave the ship 😭
Ship* And maybe, just maybe, people enjoy being out on the water. Sure, you can do those things in landlocked places, but you don't get the gorgeous view of the ocean or the chance of waking up in a different place every day. Don't get me wrong, I hate how bad "cruises" (let's be honest, it's humans that are bad for the environment, as they created all of that) are, but it's a dream of mine to go on one. I'd prefer to go on an ocean liner, but those aren't exactly a thing anymore.
@@englishatheart Welp, the gorgeous ocean views probably won't be there all too long for future generations to come if we proceed like this (alongside polluting our oceans every chance we get), but hey, what is the planet's wellbeing compared to your ocean liner dreams, huh?
People who do those things on a boat are often enthusiastic about being on a boat, believe it or not.
Imagine sinking your life savings into living on a cruise ship and then a passing kraken just ruins your entire neighborhood.

i live on a cruise ship too. they just don’t know it yet
interpreted this as your house on land not knowing that it's a cruise ship
😂🎉
this sounds like my nightmare, small claustrophobic in the middle of the ocean for days... not to mention crime is insane on cruise ships
I'm guessing the crimes are mostly just theft
The "problem" with it being comparitively cheap is that it's difficult to work. So it's only really feasible if you can make all your money online and that job (whatever it is) allows you to not have your own permanent space.
It will be interesting to see if more digital entrepreneurs do this and if that then drives the price up.
My great aunt did this for almost 5 years back around 2000. Even though she owned several houses and thousands of acres in Canada, she preferred to live on a cruise ship. Before she decided to go non-stop, she had a camper trailer and would stay there until the next cruise came in. She was a retired chemical engineer and had worked hard all her life. She was my inspiration to be more than a mom and wife that most of my peers in my tiny town became. I miss her dearly. I am a polymath with 4 degrees... I wish she could see me now 💐
Damn hope you get better!
Are you on a boat?

As a nurse I KNOW at least some of those old ppl have medications so like how do they get their meds
delivery people swim furiously
The ships dock lol these folks have their meds sent to the next port that they'll arrive to
@@shannonceleste5557 you have to see your doctor every 6 months to a year to get them filled sometimes sooner depending on the medicine but maybe the ship has a doctor ?
@@shannonceleste5557 that's the not fun explanation
That’s what I was thinking! And like even if they get them when they dock, what happens if there is supply shortages of a certain medication when they dock and they have to leave before they can get their meds? That 88 year old is going to die and expect the “help” to deal with it!
Sounds like living on the Wall-E ship but even more depressing
I work at a cruise ship terminal, trust me, it’s all retired people already on most ships. 9:10

@@Aaaaaaaalonika Yeah, but he didn’t have to choose to leave it in the video after he recorded it. We all have unkind thoughts and may sometimes let them slip, but that’s different than saying something you post in a video for hundreds of thousands of people to see.
as someone who was working for a cruise company for quite some time (in the office on land, though, selling cruises) - cruises are mainly for old people. Thats not a new concept, it's the MAIN concept. Other cruises (disney, singles, and so on) come second, when it comes to clientel. In the sales team we were asked to offer cruises to younger people with kids, young families etc, because the company wanted to widen their range in potential clients
dude i have to start fully paying attention bc i looked away for a second and suddenly danny was in a suit (i thought it was real for a sec, it was fairly well edited for some reason)
I was just on a cruise and met a gentleman who “worked from home” and only spent 30 days of a year off the ship! Booked back to back to back cruises by winning them through the casino. I cannot imagine.
I will say he did not get the same room every cruise, and would have to get on and off the ship each time.
That was my first thought. You’d have to switch rooms like every week or two, take all your things on and off the ship to re-check in, have all your documents (passport etc) re-verified, possibly even quarantine… what a pain.
@@DKF_oliyou actually don’t if you book in advance. If you book the exact same cruise and go back to back you can keep your same room too and not have to pack all your luggage. You just get off and get back on (but you get to get back on far earlier than everyone else!) They already come to clean your room daily so it’s not like anything changes. My mom actually has been looking into doing this for quite some time and knows some friends who have lol, she already takes like 2 cruises a year.
7:20 She knows her grandkids and she doesn't want to be NEAR those great-grands 💀
She be like: “I don’t want to deal with any of that skibidi toilet Ohio rizz stuff”

Ah, but you couldn't let something as petty as "what she actually said" get in the way of such a *BANGER* of a comment, right? The world woulda been a worse place without this creative masterpiece of a comment, truly the work of the century.
“Thank you for wearing the same awesome outfit Danny” we all say in unison
This just seems to be a different flavor of van life, but instead of being for adventurous 20-30 year olds to go to different national parks, it’s for retired people to primarily be on the boat and MAYBE get out and explore a dock every one and a while lol
The other reason cruises are cheap is because they're registered in countries with low minimum wage. A lot of the non-american workers on cruise ships are only making $2 / hour

"She has her opinions" is a terrific approach to characterize a person.
I'm somewhat attracted to minimalistic and nomatic life styles, but this sounds like a nightmare. There is just something about cruises that's so unappealing to me. I haven't even been on one, but I don't like all inclusive hotels, unethical tourism or very curated tourist areas. Cruises are all three on hard mode....
Also the fact that you're trapped on the boat most of the time. That ship's gonna feel claustrophobic after a while
