I met an elderly woman that lived on a cruise ship. She need a walked but was otherwise in good health. She knew everyone on the ship, and made new friends with every cruise. To her it was an awesome life, rather than being stuck in some home. The discounts you get for multiple cruises made it quite affordable for her. Eventually she would need more healthcare but she was going to stay as long as she could. I wouldn't mind it either if the internet was better...

My parents went on a few nice cruises after all their children went off to college, and they had the same experience of meeting such people who were using cruises as retirement homes. When my parents shared this story with me, I had a similar reaction as you did. I imagine such a life would be much more interesting than life stuck in a single place with no new faces.
