2. If they want the cruise to last for months. ....

I would assume so.

5. Some retirees choose to live onboard cruise ships....

...is the real problem here that people can afford something like this? If so, let me suggest you visit TCS https://www.tcsworldtravel.com/luxury-jet-expeditions/tour-around-the-world-march-2022?gclid=CjwKCAjwwsmLBhACEiwANq-tXK4likkdsqmODZzSIHdr30rqWI4VqwMSJZASJmXk2h3on9h-x-zkwxoCuo8QAvD_BwE

7. I know someone who does this

She's elderly but doesn't need much medical care. She lives on a cruise ship, just one of the ones that goes from Florida to the islands-- $130 a day, $4K a month, for an inside cabin and all the food she can eat. She and the crew are buddies, and she enjoys meeting new people.

I'd appreciate that... except for the ocean part. I'd go for it if the ship was parked on land!

8. 9 months on a cruise is my definition of hell

9. 9 hours would be my limit.

Forget about 9 days. Never gonna happen. I'd be circling the perimeter looking for land the whole time. And I love small boats. And I never get sea sick. I just want a shoreline.

10. 9 month petri dish.

11. Viking cruises are awesome. Serenade can't possible measure up.

99% are at least in the top 10% of income. Mostly older, retired. Some quite nasty too.
