88-year-old retires and lives on cruise ship

I'm SO doing this!!!!

My goal is to be like this lady

Great all I need is another $135,000 a year.

Why would anyone desire to retire on a floating septic tank the breeds diseases? Imagine being shoulder to shoulder with obnoxious drunks 24/7. Loud, entitled, vodka voiced women that wear too much makeup and the greaser car salesman type men. Absolutely disgusting.

Any update on Mrs Lee in 2025?

Lovely. Ir Is a Very good Idea!!

I’m happy for her🎉🎉🎉
A nursing home is NOT everyone’s final destination in senior living and it shouldn’t be for too many reasons to mention.
If you have your health and mucho money you can live the rest of your life however you want to; as long as it’s legal!

She was wearing one of those diabetic monitors you stick on arm; so she probably gets an overall check up by the ships doctor on board every two months for her A1C blood test and whatever else might be of concern.

"What I want, when I want, if I want"

My dream ❤❤❤❤

Well, it's great to hear she likes staying on the ship alone with "all the help". Those are employees ma'am, but I can imagine she treats them like "the help".

I love cruising but living on a ship would get boring really fast. It might be ok if the ship goes to different ports often.

She is legend!!! 🤣

If I had the money, I would begin packing today.

Mrs. Doubtfire honorably discharged from living ordinary and STEP INTO ...

EXTRAORDINARY ! ! ! I salute you!

$175,000 a YEAR???!!!

What will happen if the cruise ship retire the Ship?

$175,000 a year???

Only for people who have great retirement.

She's in an elite group with the $175,000 per year.

I want to dance with her. 5:15pm right?

The problem with cruise ships is they come with a huge footprint. That's alot of metal and fuel for what a wood n brick retirement home could do.
Wish there was a movment for building more sustainable. Self efficient ships for perminant living though. Get the footprint down. Would also free up alot of land if pensioners retired at sea.

Nursing home ….Hell No lol😂

2024😊

It's that dancing that keeps her. No prrssure on heart if flying in air. Yup! Good for her.

This lifestyle clearly fits some people's requirements and they can afford it. There are people who reside at all-inclusive luxury resorts and move between as desired. If you have the financial resources, it's fine. There is no law that you must live solely in your own dwelling.

Rules are rules if you bend for one, then it's next next n next...snooze u loose lol or left, bye! Poor guys in Africa having to deal with old fat white people with money. It said clearly time to return.....😅

ROCK-A-TASTIC! I WISH I LIVE IN A CRUISE SHIP I WOULD BE A HAPPY MAN.

Been a while since a post about her. Looked around, and it appears she is still alive at the age of 95 , hopefully soon to be 96 in May 2024. Her wiki doesn't cover what she is doing now, 2018 was the last year for her cruising due to health issues cited from other sources

I’ve seen a few videos featuring this guy, seems like a sad existence but to each their own…

I'm 54 and want to know "where do I sign up?"!!

RIP...😭

Look how peaceful these people have this reporting w/o Gayle interrupting.

Is she still alive

All great until she has a medical issue. My wife experienced a brief cardiac incident, we got kicked off the ship and left to our own devices to get home. Fortunately our cruise insurance covered the expense

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

This would be so boring to me. I like being on the land and going on vacations around the world and see different things. Good for her though.

Meanwhile dozens of millions of Americans live in their car, unable to afford a roof.

As a Nurse, she has to be wealthy to do this. Cruise ships are governed by their own body of rules and regulations. If, a serious medical emergency happens cruise ships medical employees education/standards are up to their own standards not to proper health care education standards. If, she has a serious medical emergency cruise ships are stocked with only a certain amount and type of medical supplies that are governed under where the cruise ships is bought/ran from. Health insurance often does not cover medical care on cruises, but travel insurance might.
If, she become gravely ill, which I pray she never does…she will have to be removed from the ship taken to that country’s hospital for treatment, pay the medical bill before she leaves, wait until, the cruise ship comes back to pick her up to reboard. It is very costly to live on a cruise ship and GOD/Higher Spirit forbid if, a crime happens on a cruise ship…Cruise ships do not have police. Instead, an onboard Security Director will oversee the ship's own dedicated security department, staffed by former federal, state and military law enforcement personnel from various countries, which means they can cover up the crime. As a Nurse, I had a former pt try this for 2 months and when she became sick, fell she thought her life line alert would work on the cruise ship it did not and it took them 3 days to find her. She gave up retiring on a cruise ship and moved into an Independent Assisted Living place and cruises every 4 months with a companion.

LIKE THIS! THE MOTHER RAISES HER CHILDREN, DOES EVERYTHING FOR THEM AND END UP ALONE AMONG STRANGE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT FAMILY. VERY SAD!!! I TOOK CARE OF MY PARENTS VERY WELL ALL MY WORKING LIFE GIVING THEM NICE THINGS, MONEY, LOVE, TRAVELS, AND MORE LOVE I AM THE ONLY CHILD...

What an incredible boring life that would be

Wonder is she alive

And what happens if she gets sick or needs hospitalization? She would have to watch her home motor on to the next port while she sits in some unknown hospital or country? Not to mention hope that her health insurance covers the costs

She needs to make $1 million every 5 years. At that price, she should have visitor rights to allow a child or grandchild to join her every so often.

There is a whole industry of retirement cruise ships awaiting.

Retirement homes should have all the same activities and amenities of cruise ships, and instead of docking, do 3D documentaries of different destinations everyday and hold cultural festivals with the typical foods, artisinal products, music, etc. And daily dancing, a must!

I wonder if she gets discount?

She’s 96 now,still here?

I’ve got to hand it to her for her ingenuity. She likely makes a lot of friends and has all the entertainment she needs. Don’t know how much it costs but I’d do it if I could.

I too want to spend my rest of life traveling around the world but no money.
Some dreams don't get fulfilled.
