You Too Can Live On A Cruise Ship
Imagine Living on a Cruise Ship
Have you ever fantasized about living on a cruise ship, traveling the world, and exploring exotic destinations with no worries? This dream can now become a reality, with several options available.
Luxurious Living with The World of ResidenSea
Launched in 2002, The World of ResidenSea offers a unique, condominium-style residential community on a 644-foot cruise ship. It features restaurants, a spa, a fitness center, and other amenities comparable to a mid-size cruise liner. You can even arrange short-term rentals without committing to ownership, as the ship continually sails to various ports worldwide.
However, there are challenges. Disputes have arisen between condo owners who prefer longer stays at exciting ports and tourists who favor daily port changes. Sales of condos have slowed due to concerns about terrorism and economic uncertainty. Maintenance costs are high, with annual fees at $100,000 per suite, and purchasing a suite costs between $1.9 million and $4 million. An online ad once offered luxury cabin rentals starting at $600 per day, totaling $18,000 per month.
Attempting Ship Conversion to Condos
Another idea involves buying a used cruise ship and converting it into condos. Unfortunately, this concept has faced significant obstacles:
- Attracting enough interested individuals
- Securing commitments and funds before purchasing a ship
- Finding a ship that wouldn't fall apart quickly
These challenges were significant even before acquiring a ship, let alone what might happen afterward.
Regular Cruises: A Practical Solution
The most viable way to live permanently on a cruise ship is to book regular cruises. Here's a breakdown of the costs:
- Basic Cruise Costs: $100 per day for two people equals $6,000 per month, covering gratuities, meals, and port fees.
- Independent living costs for seniors average $2,000 per person monthly, or $4,000 for two.
For an extra $2,000 per month, or $24,000 per year, a couple can enjoy life on various cruise ships indefinitely.
Benefits of Cruise Ship Living
Living on a cruise ship offers several advantages if you have the extra budget:
- Superior quality meals compared to traditional senior living
- Flexibility to switch between different cruise lines and destinations, from the Caribbean to Alaska to Europe
- Nightly entertainment
- Opportunities to meet new people and form friendships every week
- A supportive cruise staff ready to assist with any needs
If you're considering this lifestyle, an additional $24,000 annually is all it takes for two people to live aboard a cruise ship.
