They will only go for it if they don't have to pay a dime.
Yep. I can just imagine my Medicare and Social Security taxes being ratcheted up to pay for the newly-discovered "need" of year-long luxury cruises. And somehow I don't think that elderly people who live in the inner-city and who can barely afford heat will quility for this entitlement -- the government won't so much as give them a blanket. This "cruise benefit" will go to people who really could pay for it but vote to make the taxpayer pick up the tab. And the cost for this "entitlement" will skyrocket once the regulators and the trial lawyers are done with it.
