Seethe world with no worries about what’s happening back home, don’t need a car, no shopping for groceries or Dr appointments, always getting the best weather.

It’s the 100k down that bothers me. Unless you’re REALLY committed to those 15 years, I don’t know if that’s worth it. And if the cruise operator goes belly up before then, do you get a prorated amount back? It’s a cool concept but unless I were a multi millionaire, I’d feel nervous about plucking down 100k with no assurance that I’d actually enjoy the experience for that long 😬
