When our whole family moved my parents out of their home of over fifty years in Edison, New Jersey, we were fortunate to move to Seabrook Senior Living Community in Tinton Falls, NJ. For several years I described it as a cruise ship on land due to its size, quality food, and endless activities among other things. But, what if you really retired and stayed on a cruise ship?
Believe it or not, there's at least one couple in the world who did just that. The below picture is an Australian couple who booked 51 consecutive cruises because it was cheaper than a nursing home.
Think about it, they don't have to go shopping, they have cleaning services, endless food choices, activities all day and night and they get to travel the world. What bills do they have to pay? There's no traffic, they don't have to drive or get an Uber, and they can socialize with a wide variety of people that will never see again unless they want to.
They have been on the cruise now for 500 days and still have twenty more cruises to go on. They are scheduled to get off the cruise ship in 2024 and guess what they are going to do? They are getting on a larger cruise ship than the 2,000 passenger ship they are on. Their next cruise is only for another year.
At the beginning of this year a cruise line announced a three-year cruise hitting seven continents, 135 countries and 375 ports. I hope they don't run out of bagels and lox.
