If I was working online making a good income, I would consider it.

You get bored of everything and anything after awhile. I know I would! 

 

I spend my 360k baht  living in Isan, and spend the rest 650k on travelling where I want to go, but not on a cruise.

I like cruising, but three years? I'd weigh 500 lbs by the end of the first year.

yes ....  working online would be a bonus ..... they renovated the ship and removed the casino and installed business offices for onboard tenants.

to be honest .... I think it's a pretty good deal .......... 

[save the frogs]

i think most cruise ships have gyms on board.

there could be mass unemployment in coming years. make sure you have deep pockets or are fairly confident that robbie the robot isn't coming for your job soon.

true, but depends on the itinerary. i'm guessing it would go to every continent, so you get to travel around the world. who wouldn't want to do that once in their life?

of course if you feel you need to see more of the world, then, there is a bonus, but Cruise ships useally do not hang around long enough to really see the place, just the fasade they are selling you to a high price, and all local made crap, is now made in China, because no one will actually pay the real cost for the local made stuff anymore.

Not to forget the cabin you will get for 30K usd, might now be what you really want. Im sure for that price you will not get a decent view with a balcony.

 

Maybe not even included a double bed cabin ????

I'd rather die.  A cruise is my idea of hell on ear.th/water.

[jvs]

There are cheaper ways to go on a cruise.

If you have something to offer the other passengers you may get a big discount.

 

It could be anything,story telling or teaching people how to paint or

dance.

Do you get a cabin with a window and a sea view?

 

If the cabin is totally internal, no windows, that's not healthy long term, especially if the passenger has depression, panic or anxiety issues.

Speak for yourself. Boredom is a state of mind. I never get bored staying at home. I would definitely not get bored on a 3-year cruise - it would be amazing if I could afford to throw $90k at it.

yeah i heard someone else complain about that.

maybe cruises are over-rated and over-priced.

 

they might be trying to attract digital nomads. you can get a lot of work done on the cruise while it moves from one place to another.

Im not sure they do have reliable connection all over, and satellite is only option which cost alot of money.

Im spoiled, I know, 

 

Have travelled all my life, and still do, but I kind of enjoy more back to basic now. 

[worgeordie]

No way , the 2 times I remember been on a boat was Shark fishing off Cornwall and

on a boat in the Red sea ,collecting tropical marine fish , both times sick as a parrot ,

it did not help when the captain asked if I wanted a bacon sandwich , ????

This sounds a little bit better than we thought. 

 

If I was 70 pluss years, I might had considered it, but that means for two people it would cost 60K usd a year. The standard of cabins looks a bit better if as prospected.

well cant affort balcony, so I do not think so ????

 

For those looking to spend more cash, the most expensive cabin — a suite with a balcony — will run travelers nearly $330,000 in total. And I guess that is pr person as well

nope, I was bored to death after 3 days already

[still kicking]

I don't mind for a week or 2 but after that it gets boring but the food is always good.

A girl in every port… Don’t think twice????

Any food in any restaurant on that ship?

I go relative often to a 5-start hotel buffet. I like it. But I am sure if I would only go to that place every single day for years, it would become boring. On the ship, I guess it would be faster boring.

 

And about living on such a ship and (I guess) every few days another tourist city: Today 3h in Rome and tomorrow 5h in Venice. Is that holiday? For me, I don't think so.

I don’t imagine free Internet access whilst at sea. 

[Enoon]

 

No

 

 

 

[pomchop]

from their website.....cruises are nearly always per person double occupancy so  a single room on this will be $180 k or 60 k per year..

port taxes included?  big big number for 382 ports...tipping generally $15 per day....room?  probably interior room no window...

 

i would read all the fine print very carefully...the big deal breaker is if u want single room...
