retirement condo ships?

[cruz chic]

You should be OK, we have not heard any reports of floods. As for HVAC, plumbing, and power...this appears to be the luck of the draw.

They actually have had floods too but luckily that wasn't part of my "fun".

Hey, I'm due to spend 15 days through the Canal on her this Oct.

 

AND, there are days I feel like I need a "dry dock" ;)

Didn't we talk you out of that yet:D:p? Hey, I could use a good dry dock to replace a few failing "parts":D.

aren't those being marketed now as 'aqua spa cabins w/private pool'?

:p I heard that post Retreat-retrofit, the Veendam had an on-again off-again waterfall feature in the MDR.

I think that HAL are advertising some of those staterooms as back to nature complete with Finnish steam rooms.

 

And to make it even more attractive...most people seem to be getting a $400-500. credit on their next HAL cruise when they stay in one of those cabins!

 

When the HAL CSR made the booking and said that those cabins were HOT she did not mean that they were popular-just hot as in no A/C.

For Himself-

 

I have a friend married to a Lutheran pastor. They live very modestly.

 

However, the husband has a great sign in his office- it says "This job doesn't pay much, but the retirement plan is out of this world!"

 

I thought it was kind of neat!

 

(sorry if this is off topic- but for those of us who can't afford millions of dollars we hopefully have other things to look forward to!)

[world~citizen]

Not on a Clergy Salary could one afford this.

 

Well, you could hope for a miracle...

 

Smooth sailing...

Our retirement home was worth $300000 before the market tanked and is now worth about $225,000. We have a $350 monthly condo fee and our combined Social secuirty is about $2500 monthly. Trading 2000 sq. ft. on land for 250 sq. ft. at sea would entail a real adjustment but then if we could furnish the cabin with our belongings and redeorate as we chose, could it work? Just looking for further thoughts.

Don't know !

For the 1st time ever I've booked a Guarantee :eek:

Well mostly, but I'm still weighing some options.

Most likely will change.

The only "But" is that I really want to try that class of HAL ship before they disappear.

 

I definitely appreciate all your input,

PS: For me it would be parts, paint, re-decorating, and a "Retreat Retrofit" ;)
