Traveling the world, seeing all kinds of exotic places, cruising
forever with not a care in the world.
It is now a reality, and several possibilities exist.
1. The World of ResidenSea was launched in 2002 as a
condominium-style residential community contained on a 644-foot
cruise ship, complete with restaurants, a spa and fitness center
and other amenities similar to what you'd find on a typical
mid-size cruise liner.
As with land-based condo resorts, short-term rentals of a week
or more may be arranged without committing to ownership, and a
wide range of ports is included on The World's ongoing
circumnavigation of the globe.
Residensea has problems.
-disputes between owners of Condos on the ship and tourists.
Owners want to stay in exciting ports for several days, tourists
that the ship needs to get full occupancy to cover the cost of
unsold suites want to move from port to port every day.
Sales of actual condos on the ship have stalled due to fears of
terrorism, uncertainty in financial markets and uncertainty
about the future of the ship.
Annual maintenance costs run at $100,000 per suite while an
actual suite now costs 1.9 to 4 million dollars. This ad
recently appeared on the Internet:

Living On A Cruise Ship
Have you ever dreamt about living on a Cruise Ship forever? Traveling the world, seeing all kinds of exotic places, cruising forever with not a care in the world. It is now a reality, and several possibilities exist. 1. The World of ResidenSea was launched in 2002 as a condominium-style residential community contained on a 644-foot cruise ship, complete with restaurants, a spa and fitness center and other amenities similar to what you d find on a typical mid-size cruise liner.
As with land-based condo resorts, short-term rentals of a week or more may be arranged without committing ..
From somebody who owns 2 cabins on the ResidenSea. That runs to
$18,000 per month.
2. Join an organization that will buy a used Cruise Ship and
convert it to Condos.
This concept has been tried and failed. The practical problems
were just too great.
-Trying to get enough people interested -Trying to get
commitments from people -Trying to find a ship that was not
going to fall apart immediately upon leaving the harbor. -Trying
to get cash from people before a ship was bought.
And these were just problems BEFORE a ship was even bought.
Think about the problems there would be after the ship was
bought.
3. Buy regular cruises on an on-going basis.
This seems the only practical way in which you can live
permanently on a Cruise Ship.
Here are the estimated costs based on double occupancy starting
on the cheap:
Basic Cruise Costs; $100 per day x 2 people = $6000 per month
This includes gratuities, all you can eat and port costs.
Independent costs of living for Seniors seems to be about $2000
per month per person = $4000. This includes food.
So for $2000 per month extra a couple can live on a Cruise Ship

The advantages of this type of living if you have that extra
$24,000 per year to spend are these:

month, an Alaska Line next month and a European Line for the
next 6 months.
