Some of the passengers who booked the 111 cabins sold are still in Istanbul, having made their way there ahead of the original departure date. Others say they have nowhere to return to, having sold or rented out their homes in anticipation of the round-the-world voyage, as well as jettisoning their possessions.
oof. Regardless of the class makeup of the passengers that fucking suuuuuuuuucks.

I think people who sold all their things to make this work couldn’t have been too rich
Maybe boomers who planned to just die before the cruise was over??

Cruises are surprisingly cheap. Often considerably cheaper than a retirement home. Some people literally just take back to back cruises when they get old.
If it were a choice between some depressing elder care facility or cruisin and boozin til I go out for the same price, I know which one I’m picking.
