Because the people who can afford a 4 year cruise are totally the same that will be negatively affected by a Trump presidency.

It’s $40k/year that includes all living expenses as far as I can tell (with options to upgrade for better food, drinks, and lodging, of course). There are liberal retirees who would otherwise be in assisted living but don’t need the sort of medical resources that a full on retirement home provides whom this isn’t an awful deal for if you don’t think about it too hard

Cruises have wifi right? Full time WFH might be able to make something work too.

You may have to pay for your bandwidth, and it’s usually slow. I don’t think it’s consistant enough to be used for work if you have to upload files or have conference calls.

But anyway, I don’t think that liberal retirees and desk workers privileged enough to be allowed to fully work from home are the demographic that will have to hide on a cruise ship.

The journey will hit 425 ports across 140 countries. Villa Vie Odyssey will first spend a month in the Caribbean, before venturing out on a 4-month trip to South America, including two Panama Canal transits, two World Wonders, the Chilean Fjords, an Antarctic sail-by, Carnival in Rio, and eight days in the Amazon River.

“Villa Vie Odyssey, which is home to up to 600 Residents, just entered its 2nd month of its 15-year tour around the world,” the cruise line said. “She’ll visit all 7 continents, 13 of the World Wonders and over 100 tropical islands along the way.”
