Anecdote:
There will be no nursing home in my future...
When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a Princess
Cruise Ship!
The average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day. I have
checked on reservations at Princess and I can get a long-term
discount and senior discount price of $135 per day.
That leaves $65 a day for:
- Gratuities, which will only be $10 per day.
- I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle
to the restaurant, or I can have room service (which means
I can have breakfast in bed every day of the week).
- Princess has as many as three swimming pools, a workout
room, free washers and dryers, and shows every night.
- They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap
and shampoo.
- They will even treat you like a customer, not a patient.
An extra $5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling
to help you.
- I will go to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.
- TV broken? Light bulb needs changing? Need to have
the mattress
Replaced? No Problem! They will fix everything and apologize
for your inconvenience.
- Clean sheets and towels every day, and you don't even
have to ask for them.
- If you fall in the nursing home and break a hip you
are on your government’s health plan. If you fall
and break a hip on the Princess ship, they will upgrade
you to a suite for the rest of your life.
Now hold on for the best! Do you want to see South America,
the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Asia,
or name where you want to go? Princess will have a ship
ready to go. So don't look for me in a nursing home, just
call shore to ship.
P.S. And don't forget, when you die, they just dump you
over the side at no extra charge.
