Cheaper Than a Life on Land

This couple — who met on a cruise ship and later got married on one — sold their homes and possessions to book fifty back-to-back cruises. Neither of our families thought it was strange that we were now living full-time on cruise ships. With our savings we were able to fund our life onboard, which, thanks to loyalty discounts and the rising cost of living, is cheaper than our life on land. One cruise sounds like a nightmare to me, never mind fifty. But it’s amazing to know this could be done. To live in a state of constant voyaging” And in luxury too. At 54, I’m living my dream. Soon we’ll be heading to Europe, Mexico and Bermuda, and I can’t wait. I hope our life on the water goes on for ever. I wonder if many other people do this. Is there a whole population of cruiseniks out there, drifting around the world’s seas and oceans without a care? * We’re running out of copies of New Escapologist Issue 18.
