You can live on a cruise chip for less than a retirement home. The food is a whole lot better. If you get tired of the ship, there is a new port to explore every day or so.

We are doing a 27 day “Repositioning” cruise from Rome to Ft. Lauderdale this fall on Holland America. Rome, Dubrovnik, Ephesus, Santorini, Athens, Corfu, Olympia, Messina, Naples, Palma de Majorca, Cartagena, Malaga, Cadiz & the Azores before a 6 day trans-Atlantic crossing to Ft Lauderdale.

Less than $87 per day per person. Airfare for two to Rome and a night in a VERY nice hotel was $800 - $400 each!

BTW, other “Petri Dishes” - Sporting events, concerts, restaurants, theaters, family gatherings...

We did the last April transAtlantic from Tampa to Holland. Base price $29/night pp
Got a Gatwik flight back to Tampa at $225 pp

Church meals.

BTW, I am thinking about a repositioning cruise in a few years. Probably something in the Pacific.
