I am absolutely fascinated by the Villa Vie adventure. I have noticed that even though ship although floated hasn’t left the actual dock for testing yet. I hope this doesn’t cause more delays for you. Best of luck. Enjoy your adventure!

Dear oh dear. Do you really have to bring the Bible into a decision on whether this company and joining this vessel as a passenger is a correct decision? This is not a 'residence' vessel. to retire on. A ship like this with such tiny, tiny cabins, no couch (1 chair), tiny closets is ridiculous.
@MidLifeCruising952 күн бұрын
@@craiglaforest Yes! My patience and positivity is something I draw from my faith. Also, one can book a much larger room if space is something that is important. We are happy that our bedroom has a bed and a bathroom. The ship will be our home with plenty of lounge space. As a retired teacher, I am grateful I can afford to even step foot on this ship, let alone live on it.

@@MidLifeCruising95 I only want to suggest for your sake that you really investigate the financials of this company. I don't want you to lose your savings. Too many companies have proposed residential cruise lines and many have failed. Make certain you understand their balance sheet. Have an expert look at them. Best regards.

Yes. We have just one who is an adult and thriving. We will fly to see the kiddo two times per year, and of course we will be receiving on board visits. We don't have a lot of other family. Both my parents are gone and Steve has his mother still. We are assuming we will do this 3 -4 years, but we really have zero idea how long or short we will want to do this.

While waiting for the Odyessa enjoy your fantastic side trips. I spent many years working as a medical officer for various cruise lines. Barcelona was my last home port. I hope you had a chance to see some of that city. Last summer I lived in the south of France and know Cannes well. When you make your home on a ship you need to roll with unexpected changes. Now I am retired and enjoy my new home in France and taking cruises as a passenger. Good for you both for staying upbeat!
