Living on a permanent cruise sounds like a dream until you see the prices lol. She must have a fat pension or sold a house to afford that.

cope more. You'd be bored out of your skull after a month.

Honestly if I had the cash I'd do it too. No cooking, no cleaning, new views every day. Bit of a no-brainer really.

it's not that much more than a retirement village. And you get to see the world. Each to their own.

What a load of shit. Sounds like a floating retirement home with more seasickness. Give me real land any day.

Must be nice to be so rich you just float around while the rest of us work. Typical boomer fantasy.

ive seen videos of these permanent cruise people. They get bored after a few months and end up drinking at every port. Not exactly paradise.

typical boomer mentality. Screw everyone else as long as you're happy.

Imagine the carbon footprint of one person living on a ship for a year. Massive. But hey, who cares about the planet right?

Yeah nah get stuffed. I'd rather be in my own home with a garden than stuck in a cabin with a thousand tourists.

Each to their own I guess. But what happens when you get sick or need a dental appointment? Seems impractical long-term.

probably has travel insurance for that. They have doctors on board mate.
