Retiring to the Sea
A cruise ship has all of the elements that seniors look for in their retirement, but a cruise vacation is only temporary and going on multiple cruises on an annual basis can become extremely pricey. As an alternative, there are communities on the water that offer full-time living that maintains a cruising lifestyle on the Residential Cruise Line. It’s a pricey lifestyle with the sale of on-board suites ranging from $2 to $10 Million, but one that can satisfy the dreams of seniors looking to live a life at sea. Here are some tips for living on the water:
1. Pack products for seasickness – although large cruise ships do offer stability, be prepared for rough seas and before going aboard, talk to your doctor about medications or products that can help with sea sickness.
2. Pack wisely – remember, you might not have as much space for your wardrobe, so choose key items for your cruise ship suite, and make sure you have something for every occasion.
3. Think about how much you’ll be there – you can purchase a property that’s just for you on a floating community or choose one that’s shared if you still intend on staying at a primary residence for part of the year.
4. If it seems pricey, think about what you’d spend on travel – if you plan on taking trips annually, those costs can add up. Think about what you’ll spend annually, and remember, by investing in a property like this, your travel costs are virtually always covered and it tours the high seas worldwide.
