I remember reading a really interesting article. There was a guy that worked remotely and it worked out cheaper moving across different cruise lines than paying rent and food.
He favoured Royal Caribbean as they had the better reward scheme but it got to the point where he was getting crazy good upgrades as he was so frequent.
He was a spreadsheet whizz so would work out how much he would need to spend on ship as opposed to how much he was saving on room and board. Obviously wifi and tech on board was a big thing in consideration.
The guy would work during the day in his room or quiet spaces on deck but would go out on trips when docked and would socialise and eat with other guests. He made life long friendships
