Mike in Horseheads Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/three-year-cruise-never-ends/index.html Life at Sea Cruises – which is due to depart in November for a three-year round-the-world cruise – reckons that people are so enthused by the idea of sailing around the world nonstop, that they’re going to continue the journey indefinitely, making it “the cruise that never ends.” Imagine how much Thurston Howell III and lovey would have to pack for this considering what they took for the 3 hour cruise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Actually doesn’t seem terribly priced. Not my cup of tea but for those who wish to be on the go, seems like a (lengthy) good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 For just $38K/year? That's a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 An interesting option for retirees looking to downsize and see the world. Sell the house and cars. Put anything you want to keep in storage. All your meals made for you. Room cleaned daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I would much rather do it this way. Buy your unit and fly in for the legs you are interested in. Powerball let me down again. I was thinking of a nice two bedroom, I’m not greedy. https://aboardtheworld.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 not just no but HELL NO. the main reasons would be being away that long from family and friends, I would miss my dog and seasickness.

boyst Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 My stepsons grandma has her and her husband's primary residence on a cruise ship for 7 years. Apparently it's a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely is an alternative to moving to a retirement community in Florida and it is becoming economically more feasible. Being able to board and deboard to me is the key if you're going for multi-year commitment. I'd also love if Amtrak had an option where you could load your car and get on an off at reserved locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 A week never seems like enough time, three years seems like way too long, but circumnavigating the planet and the places you could see would be awesome. Sign me up for the one year package. I know they have satellite TV as I've watched the final four from someplace cruising in the Caribbean, so I'll slide someone a few bucks to get the Bills games on. No cooking, no cleaning, no yard work ... a wide selection of food whenever I want it, bartenders making whatever I want, when I want, beaches, golf courses ... I'm in.

EVER! I'm older, but don't recall seing any orginal Twilight episodes. All of them are incredible. The stories are awesome. No special affects, no actions cams......just good writing. Real things that go strangely weird, really weird in some cases. I wonder if Stephen King got his motivation from Mr. Serling. Some of King's stuff was seemingly nornal stuff that went sideways. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
