Hello Cruise Ship...Goodbye Grandma!

Company Announces Cruise Ship Condos Will Set Sail from Florida


A Florida-based company is taking the cruise ship condo concept in a new direction that may appeal to some seniors who love cruises and cruise ships...enough to spend the rest of their life aboard one. According to the press release, "Waterfront Lifestyles International, a boutique maritime lodging company, is currently taking reservations for retirement condos on a mid-size cruise ship that will make monthly cruises to the Bahamas." But unlike most cruise ship condos where buyers maybe spend a few weeks a year on board, residents of the 300-foot Alegria will be there for life. For Florida condo residents familiar with the mind-numbing minutiae and headaches of dealing with fellow residents and homeowners association rules, this floating, full-time condo concept is a little frightening. It's hard to imagine never being able to get away from your neighbors when you're always bumping into them up on the Lido Deck or down at the prime rib buffet line. Still, if you're undeterred, ready for a lifetime cruise and anxious to learn more, here is a link to the company's website

I hope the grandma will find out about the HOA before signing awy her life. If you think Timeshares are bad. Multiply that number by 1000.

But Alegria is Spanish for "joy," so I'm sure all of the aging seniors on board will get along swimmingly.
