Life at Sea Cruises – which was due to launch its three-year round-the-world cruise in November – has called it off. There’s no ship, and passengers are being offered refunds – though the company says it still wants to launch a long-term cruise in the future.
Cruises are surprisingly cheap. Often considerably cheaper than a retirement home. Some people literally just take back to back cruises when they get old.
If it were a choice between some depressing elder care facility or cruisin and boozin til I go out for the same price, I know which one I'm picking.
