    I have met many retired people who basically live on cruise ships.

            The first and last cruise I went on, I was sitting in the sauna in the morning when about 6 guys all in their mid 60s came in and openly started talking about the previous night and who was swapping partners that night.

      Yeah we destroy the planet, but it’s cheaper than not to, and we’re old anyway

        Cruises aren’t particularly cheap, they’re generally $100-300/night, per person, which is similar to a hotel. If you want a nicer room,that’d extra. They’re pretty affordable as vacations go, but hardly close to a permanent living arrangement.

          There cruise lines that offer 3 year cruises for just $30k a year… https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/3-year-cruise-mv-gemini/

            That $2.5k/mo is actually ridiculously good when you consider it includes everything.

          Cheaper than a retirement home, and with doctors on board.

              100 bucks a night is only 3k a month, so yeah it is

                I live in rural Wisconsin and the retirement homes around here cost more than that for independent living where residents get 1 meal a day free, an emergency pendant and a weekly maid coming through to clean. Living on a cruise ship can easily provide more accomodations than that for less cost

          I daresay permanent residents aren’t paying that much.
