Living On A Cruise Ship Full-Time: The Questions You Keep Asking
We sold our forever home, left four careers behind, and started living on a cruise ship full time. More than 1,200 days later, we're finally answering the questions everyone asks about the cruise ship lifestyle. • Why would anyone choose to retire on a cruise ship? • Do we ever get bored? • How do we handle real emergencies at sea? • What about prescriptions and healthcare? • Does living on a cruise ship full time change your relationships? • Are we running away from life... or finally living it? This isn't a highlight reel. It's the real story of what happens after the excitement wears off and living on a cruise ship becomes everyday life.
