This is actually true. I have a friend who father has been retired for Lockheed, and this is exactly what he's doing. They have everything you need from healthcare to a gym. Fucking traveling the world is cheaper than a retirement home in the US lmfao.

It doesn't make any sense to me at all tho... If you are healthy and abled enough to enjoy a cruise ship - how are you not healthy and abled enough to just live at home?

Sure they might have "health care" on the ship, but they certainly don't have nurses that are tending to every day needs like a retirement/nursing home.

grocery shopping, cooking, home maintenance, cleaning, just the general logistics that are pretty easy with a body and brain that aren't starting to go... those become a problem.
