Cruises aren't particularly cheap, they're generally $100-300/night, per person, which is similar to a hotel. If you want a nicer room,that'd extra. They're pretty affordable as vacations go, but hardly close to a permanent living arrangement.
There cruise lines that offer 3 year cruises for just $30k a year... https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/3-year-cruise-mv-gemini/
That $2.5k/mo is actually ridiculously good when you consider it includes everything.
That's... actually an incredibly good deal!
Cheaper than a retirement home, and with doctors on board.
It's really not.
100 bucks a night is only 3k a month, so yeah it is
I live in rural Wisconsin and the retirement homes around here cost more than that for independent living where residents get 1 meal a day free, an emergency pendant and a weekly maid coming through to clean. Living on a cruise ship can easily provide more accomodations than that for less cost
by like half to a fourth for a good retirement home
like 60k a year in OR
I daresay permanent residents aren't paying that much.
