Part 2/6:
In her report, Nancy Chen introduces Joe Johnston, a 69-year-old retiree who has made the decision to live aboard a cruise ship. Johnston has completed several long-term cruises, each over 80 days, and describes her time at sea as a fulfilling lifestyle. She emphasizes that she sold nearly all her belongings—everything that wouldn't fit in her car—and moved onto the ship, where her daily needs are met.
For Johnston, the cruise experience encompasses meals, travel, entertainment, and lodging—all for an estimated annual cost of $100,000. While this may seem like a significant expense, it offers an inclusive lifestyle that many find appealing.
