Life at Sea Cruises, a three-year cruise around the world, was canceled just two weeks before it was supposed to sail from Amsterdam.

Passengers who booked trips have been told refunds will be issued in monthly installments

…

Life at Sea Cruises’ first three-year sailing was announced in March and promised passengers willing to fork out at least $29,999 per year

    Mmmm. What fun. Stewing in a disease-ridden floating money-sponge for three years. Marvellous.

      Idk man. You go hang out on a cruise for a bit you will find some old people who have made cruising their entire retirement plan. Basically just staying on boats going from port to port until they die.

      Which actually doesn’t sound all too bad. I’d think it’d get old after the first few weeks (I never heard Cupid Shuffle so many damn times in one week), but hey, whatever floats your boat.

      Not my idea of a good time either but it was appealing to some people. Cruises are incredibly popular. I’d only go if it were free and I was unable to sell the ticket(s).

        I don’t think I’d go if it were free. I have other things - productive things I could be doing.

        But you’d still go? Like… if I bought you a ticket on a shitty cruise, you’d go just because you have to use up free things?

          Who’s saying no to a free holiday? I went away this year for the first time in a decade and it was heavenly. I’d never chose to go on a cruise, but I’d jump at the chance for a new experience, some sun and relaxation - especially over winter when I having to chose between heating and eating ffs.

            Sounds like you take quite the beating. 😔

            Edit: I’m rhyming with heating and eating ffs

          If you bought me a ticket on “Unkle Sal’s Discount Cruises” I would not go. If you bought me tickets for Carnival Cruises… Yeah I’d probably go.
