I had heard its cheaper for Retired people to live on cruise ships.

yes, but don't have a "health emergency" on board a cruise ship - I have heard their medical rates are outrageous.

“yes, but don’t have a “health emergency” on board a cruise ship - I have heard their medical rates are outrageous.”

That’s why you buy travel insurance.

Yes but if you die onboard, free ice cream for the rest of the passengers.

“I have heard their medical rates are outrageous.”

Hubby got sick on a Princess ship February 2020, just as WuFlu began to rear its head. The South African medical crew was amazing! They were extra attentive because of possible Covid.

Anyhow, we don’t know the cost because travel insurance took care of it 100%.

Also, on cruises we’ve met people who have retired on cruise ships. They “hop” among ships depending on itineraries. Seem pretty happy. Very happy, actually.

Our longest cruise was 15 days. I couldn’t live on a ship, though.

And you don’t have access to children, grandchildren, great grandchildren.

Funerals are reasonable, though. 😉
