No thank you. A big fat juicy terrorist target.
Tell me about food, laundry, healthcare ...
Otherwise I am intrigued.
Is it like a condo where you have to pay a monthly maintenance fee?
What happens to your investment after the ship is scrapped?
I can only imagine what maintenence costs on a cruise ship would be towards the end of its useful life.
Is ther not a cruiser named “World” that is already doing this?
If you have crap load of money to burn, sure.
Otherwise, idiocy.
Adding this to my bucket list of things not to do.
On one of our cruises the waiter was from Chile.
His wife also worked on the same ship. They were on their 3rd year and planned to do it for 2-3 more years and said they will have enough money saved to go back to Chile and pay for a very nice house in full.
They have no car payments, property insurance etc to pay.
It’s actually a good arrangement.
Micheal Palin around the world in 80 days.
Wasn’t he the one with the tag line..
“Exploring the world so you don’t have to”?
For that price I would buy a nice Catalina 445 then cruise the East Coast and the Bahamas. Set my own time schedule.
About ten years ago, someone was marketing something similar on the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers. This was a rectangular barge like vessel with a couple of hundred apartments that could be rented like a long term time share. There were three month, six months, year long rental rates. The vessel would relocate about every two or three weeks. I don’t think it went over too well since I haven’t heard anything since about 2012.
Who the hell has that kind of money? I’ve been in the same apartment for 20 years, and my rent is $500 a month. I have central air, dishwasher, garbage disposal, water. I don’t have to pay for trash pick-up. I pay my own utilities, cable, phone, and internet. The building, and area is safe. Two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, kitchen, and dining room. Also two big walk-in closets, a closet in the second bedroom, and a storage locker in the basement. I’d love to have a new paint job inside, and new carpeting, but I’m not paying to have it done. My painting days are over, so I’ll put up with it until I die. They’ll have to carry me out of this place.
Is it UNSINKABLE? 🤓
Get Covid, be confined to your room with the back-flowing toilet, trapped around the world.
I’ve heard of plenty of retirees that are on constant cruise, they just book 1 ship for a year at a time. Honestly with all the helpers and on ship medical staff and everything else not a bad idea. They’re basically retirement homes, but with rum drinks.
could go underwater and cause property values to sink...
I suppose they need to do something with those currently inert behemoths.
what a great place to be an artist
