Australian grandparents book 51 back-to-back cruises for 500 days straight because it's cheaper than a nursing home
I did some digging, and it looks like a retirement home entry fee in Australia can cost up to $500,000 (not including monthly fees after that); a 14-day cruise varies, but $2,000-$3,000 for a couple is in the ballpark. Add those all up to make a year, and you've got, say, $50-65,000 per year to stay on the ship — meals, drinks, cleanup included. So yeah, it's plain to see that these two made the right choice.
