Let's start with some statistics: the majority (84%) people want to retire near water, take up most (71%) people over 40 as cruises, and many (40%) of respondents mentioned climate as the most important consideration in choosing a retirement location. There is a place where we can package these statistics in a clean and cheap to make? How about living on a cruise ship converted?
I had the opportunity to tour "Alegria" (the working title of the ship means joy orHappiness), which is subject to its final transformation of a community float before being anchored in their permanent home, Cape Canaveral, Florida. This is the concept: When you buy one of the 100 cabins (160-340 square feet) may also be a 1 / 100 owner of the vessel. Prices range from $ 159,000 to $ 399,000 and there is a monthly publication that is entitled to all meals aboard ship, weekly cleaning, the local Country Club membership (golf and tennis), port charges and busShuttles. People to determine the ship's course (monthly trips to the Bahamas, the annual Central American and / or Caribbean Cruises). The ship has 12 rooms (rooms claim that the lack of Windows) for the visitors – for free! – Meals included. It will be a full-time nurses on board.
It is this type of lifestyle for all? The cabins are compact, and even a microwave and / or a small refrigerator, which does not contain an oven or stove. So if the preparationTheir food is a passion, and you need a lot of space in your home that is not the place for you. But if you want to eat almost every meal, looking for a ready-made social group (the set-up would be ideal for singles) and how the idea of living on the water at an affordable price with a wonderful climate and amenities to leave the area, and not the house while you do some travel may be this kind of life for you. Approximately one third of the condominiums have already been sold.
