To All Who Dream Of An Luxurious Old Age

No More Nursing Home For Elders

A rich couple were on a cruise through the western Mediterranean abroad a princess liner. They noticed an elderly lady sitting alone at the grand stairway in the main dining room. They also observed that all the staff, ship officers, waiters, etc; all seemed very familiar with this old lady.

Curiously to find out who this lady was, they approached a waiter and asked him, thinking that she could be the ship owner. They were amazed when told that he got acquainted with her since she had been on board for the past 4 cruises.

Next evening when they met her again at the dinning room, the rich man said hello to her,“I come to know that you had been on this ship for the past 4 cruises. But I don’t understand?” “It’s cheaper than the nursing room,” the old lady replied, without a pause.

The rich man did a rough calculation. Accordingly, the average cost of a nursing room was USD 200/day. After checking with reservations at Princess, he was told that he could get a long term discount & senior discount price of USD 135/day with a saving of USD 65/day!

Moreover, while traveling on board of Princess Cruise, the benefits included

1) gratuities which would only be USD 10/day,

2) 10 meals a day or even room service of having breakfast in bed
everyday of the week,

3) as many as 3 swimming pools, workout room, free washers and
dryers, and shows ever night,

4) free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo,

5) being treated as a customer, not a patient. Easily to get help from
the entire staff by giving an extra USD 5.00 worth of tips,

6) the opportunity to meet new people every 7 or 14 days,

7) no problem in getting TV repaired, light bulb changed and
mattress replaced. Everything could be fixed and also apologized for
the inconvenience,

8) provided with clean sheets and towels without even asking,

9) being ended up in Medicare if fall and broken a hip in a nursing
room. But in the Princess ship, the unfortunate passenger would be
upgraded to a suite for the rest of his or her life.

Moreover, one could travel in the Princess ship to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, or wherever the ship’s destination. How nice?

The best of all, the rich man also realized that just in case of a sudden death on board, they would just dump the dead body over the side into the sea at no charge!

Something to share….

Well, well, well. My aging friends, are you thinking of what I am thinking of? Hahaha….

Oh yes. To all children on earth, “Please don’t send your aging parents to nursing rooms anymore. Put them on any cruise will do.” Hehehe……..
