I bought a 720-square-foot cruise ship cabin for $2.5 million. My wife and I plan to live at sea full-time and are excited to make new friends in our 80s.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Mike Soroker, 80, and his decision to purchase a $2.5 million cabin aboard Storylines MV Narrative, a luxury residential cruise ship, where he and his wife, Barbara, plan to live full-time. The MV Narrative is currently slated to set sail in 2025 and circumnavigate the earth once every three years continuously, with stops in ports across the globe.
One trip, we renewed our vows after 50 years of marriage. We enjoyed meeting some folks, who we're still connected with to this day. , where you go to a particular port and you have a day and a half at most. And you have to run to a bus. Then you go back. With Storylines, you have several more days at any port.We've come up with this term, between my wife and I:"relaxing adventure." Because we're not going to be pressured to run to every place around the world. But we want the chance to see these places, while we're still alive and healthy enough to enjoy.
Each year that goes by, I just feel younger. My wife and I have a great partnership. I feel like we can do almost anything. We enjoy dancing together. I'm very, very lucky.We're planning to still have a land base in Boca Raton at first. We have an apartment right now in New York. We will give that up and sell that off.
