It’s been a while since I’ve posted about our goal to reach 10,000 subscribers on YouTube in 2024. On June 7, I celebrated crossing 7,000 subscribers. A big part of the quick rise to 7k was thanks to all of our Carnival Firenze coverage. Now, fast forward a couple months and we’ve officially crossed 9,000 subscribers on the This Cruise Life YouTube Channel!

Summer Growth

We’ve had a busy summer. In June, we joined Margaritaville at Sea for the launch of their new ship Islander on back-to-back sailings. In July, Rocky and I sailed to Alaska on class namesake Carnival Spirit. Later in July, I sailed on Carnival Celebration with a group of my best friends. Then, in August, Rocky sailed on Valiant Lady for a bachelor party and we both sailed together on Norwegian Sky for a 9-night cruise. We wrapped up our summer season on board Carnival Liberty in September.

Final 3 Months of the Year

As we enter the final quarter of 2024, we still have quite a bit of growth to do in order to reach our 10,000 YouTube Subscriber goal. But as I said when we updated the goal to 10,000 in May, it’s a stretch for sure! With the tremendous support we’ve received from the community we’re building, we’re still pretty sure we can do it. 😉
