I recently heard a story (don't know if it's true) about a widowed elderly lady who has chosen to live all of her retirement aboard cruise ships because it was cheaper than living in a seniors home. Crazy right?
The person who told me the story explained that this lady would find bargain priced cruises, and then live aboard each ship in a lower end room. Her laundry and cleaning was looked after, she always had medical care close by, and the food is of good quality and variety, and all of this is included with the ticket.
The extra bonus is that she could constantly meet interesting new people, activities were always being planned for her, and of course the fresh air and travel.
Please bear in mind that I've never been aboard a cruise ship, and have no clue how much assisted living costs. With that said, what a cool concept!
