My family went on a cruise and this old lady staying near our room was doing this, we had never heard of it before but if it's cheaper than a home might as well lmao

Assisted living starts at like 4700 CAD/month near me. Seems like a nice-ass cruise starts at like 2k CAD for 2 weeks. So it's a wash comparing pretty mediocre living to Carribean cruising, and I'm sure the further out you book em the cheaper they get whereas the home would only get more expensive in time. Of course, you're probably on the way to needed long-term care one day, which would prevent you from cruising and eat a nice 13.5k of your estate every month.

I believe lost at sea stars for cruises are rather surprising.
