My retired neighbor went on a cruise last year, then on that cruise won 2 free cruises (with a free guest). On her second free cruise, she won 2 MORE free cruises. I agree that these companies love to keep retired people on board
I had a friend who worked on a few cruises as entertainment (she was a singer) and she said the old retired folks were surprisingly the best crowd. said they kinda just chill around all day and don’t really expect too much.
The reason cruises can be so cheap is that they hire workers from the Philippines and Indonesia. Since they are in international waters, they don't have to pay them US minimum wage rates.
And sometimes pay them according to "company store" systems. To avoid constant currency exchange, they get a wage card that can be used.... in the company-provided shopping portal.
Not to mention their rooms are awful and so are their shifts. I had students who went the cruise ship route and oof. Yeah. Rough. There are ways to make good money, and it can be good hospitality experience coming back to on-land resorts, but OOF.
this is a pet peeve of mine but like, if youre on a cruise and youre paying for that then the food isnt "free" youre paying for it, just not individually for each transaction
I get like you might make it “worth it” if you eat enough food, but even then it’s still not free. It’s just the food is cheaper than if it wasn’t included. But, if you don’t eat enough you’re kinda wasting money
@@eelc5314 Yeah "computer generated" is usually code for "this is a mockup" and not "this is ai" plus these articles are probably a bit too old to have ai images. Cruises had a downward trend in 2020-2022 because of the pandemic (getting canceled, getting delayed, being trapped at port in quarantine, COVID running rampant because of the close quarters and high population density etc.)
3:30 The other reason they’re so cheap is because these ships are registered in poorer countries, often ones in Central America. These countries have lower minimum wages and far more relaxed labor practices and regulations.
As someone who lives in a port where cruise ships come and occasionally abandon their staff (You quit? You stay here. No, we won't take you home.), can confirm.

“Just found out about the Titanic. Why would they get on that boat? Haven’t they seen the movie.” It might’ve been a joke song, but man, it’s hitting hard.
The worst part about this is how terrible it is for the planet. Cruise ships make the most greenhouse gases per passenger out of any mode of transportation, and they’re completely unnecessary. People don’t even go on cruises for the sole purpose of boats; transportation. You can go to a waterpark on land, a casino on land, concerts on land, and restaurants on land. Doing them on a boat is pointless.
Ship* And maybe, just maybe, people enjoy being out on the water. Sure, you can do those things in landlocked places, but you don't get the gorgeous view of the ocean or the chance of waking up in a different place every day. Don't get me wrong, I hate how bad "cruises" (let's be honest, it's humans that are bad for the environment, as they created all of that) are, but it's a dream of mine to go on one. I'd prefer to go on an ocean liner, but those aren't exactly a thing anymore.

But wouldn't their insurance company pay for it? I know if my stuff caught fire in a moving truck my insurance would cover 99.9% of it, unless I intentionally light it up.
Honestly one of the main downsides of this would be that viruses spread really fast on cruise ships. *There's a non-insignificant risk of getting sick while you're on the boat, in a way that might be worse than if you were on shore*
I was thinking that, too. Even with vaccines for COVID and the flu, being on a cruise ship puts you in constant contact with people carrying all kinds of infectious diseases. And when people are feeling sick on a cruise, they’re unlikely to quarantine for a week or two in order to protect others. Outbreaks are always a possibility, and the elderly would be especially at risk.
for some time now, older people have been staying on cruise ships because they are cheaper than nursing homes. cruise ships are one of the most stressful places to be a doctor, because of how many chronic issues the passengers have, how many things can go wrong, and how few resources they have. fun fact: large cruise ships also have a morgue :D
I commented the same thing before seeing yours. It definitely poses additional issues for the staff. Also, many contagious diseases sweep through cruise ships and old folks are more vulnerable than the general public.

CJ Tudor literally wrote a short story about a cruise ship full of people of all ages that have been living there for decades after a natural disaster - and lemme tell you it got real creepy and dystopian real fast. It's called "End of the Liner" on "A Sliver of Darkness" if anyone's interested
I work at a cruise ship terminal, trust me, it’s all retired people already on most ships. 9:10 The only people who aren’t in the “nearly dead” category are the MOST BORING “newly weds” ever who don’t know how to plan a vacation on land.
A lot of cruise lines actually are offering extended stays/vouchers to stay in rooms for longer periods of time. It saves them time and work also, and is becoming more common to stay for 12-18 months at a time for cheaper prices for people like this
4:50 no danny the Amazon person would be furiously swimming to the ship, trying to catch up. on the brink of death, lungs filled with water, and screaming "YOUR ORDER OF 200 NUTCRACKERS IS HERE"
Then they have to swim back to shore and finish the rest of their route, and the next package recipient files a complaint that their hand got the box wet.
My grandfather is actually a big cruise guy and spends literally 90% of his time on cruises, will miss huge family events for cruises (is missing my sister's wedding for one actually! A whole year out!), even sold his mother's home (our grandmother who recently passed) where we had all our family get togethers and many memories, just for more money for cruises! Gotta love it
I was just on a cruise and met a gentleman who “worked from home” and only spent 30 days of a year off the ship! Booked back to back to back cruises by winning them through the casino. I cannot imagine. I will say he did not get the same room every cruise, and would have to get on and off the ship each time.
That was my first thought. You’d have to switch rooms like every week or two, take all your things on and off the ship to re-check in, have all your documents (passport etc) re-verified, possibly even quarantine… what a pain.
@@DKF_oliyou actually don’t if you book in advance. If you book the exact same cruise and go back to back you can keep your same room too and not have to pack all your luggage. You just get off and get back on (but you get to get back on far earlier than everyone else!) They already come to clean your room daily so it’s not like anything changes. My mom actually has been looking into doing this for quite some time and knows some friends who have lol, she already takes like 2 cruises a year.
0:48 when retired Americans do this they usually have a friend or family members address listed as their residence for tax purposes and store sentimental valuables in a storage unit or with family. They also sometimes have their own properties to go back to.
8:11 well cruises have shows, pools, activities, and meals that are probably better than retirement homes. You also meet new people too, plus the rocking of the boat can be pretty relaxing for sleep. You get nice views too
4:39 Danny, fun fact, there is a way to get mail on a boat, these people called like mail runners or sm literally have to SPRINT to grab the mail from the mailbox, and have to RUN to actually get it on the boat- I forgot how much it pays but that’s a fricking crazy job- like imagine your whole job basically is us running to two different places and if you don’t make it your like screwed-😂
@@shannonceleste5557 you have to see your doctor every 6 months to a year to get them filled sometimes sooner depending on the medicine but maybe the ship has a doctor ?
That’s what I was thinking! And like even if they get them when they dock, what happens if there is supply shortages of a certain medication when they dock and they have to leave before they can get their meds? That 88 year old is going to die and expect the “help” to deal with it!
0:59 life is easy he says. Pirates make life easy. Waves are easy. The smell of the bodies in the ship morgue is easy to deal with. Eating the same thing every day is easy.
My great aunt did this for almost 5 years back around 2000. Even though she owned several houses and thousands of acres in Canada, she preferred to live on a cruise ship. Before she decided to go non-stop, she had a camper trailer and would stay there until the next cruise came in. She was a retired chemical engineer and had worked hard all her life. She was my inspiration to be more than a mom and wife that most of my peers in my tiny town became. I miss her dearly. I am a polymath with 4 degrees... I wish she could see me now 💐

Theres this fiction podcast called The Red Valley and whle it's mostly about cryogenics there is a plot about a cruisliner for retired and elderly folks before they pass. It's really interesting to think about when stuff liike this is happening in real life and it highlights some of the ways stuff like this can go so wrong.
1. Cruise culture is insane and living on cruise ships has been a thing for a long while. 2. Why do people still listen to Graham (guy from beginning) anymore? He's promoted multiple scams while claiming to "not give financial advice"
About mailing things: you can often get things sent to where you will be when it arrives. You can just have it be a pick up order from one of Amazon’s pick up locations or more UPS and FedEx locations at the port you’re at. You can also do this while you’re traveling in general
I think more realistically they would get in trouble with their cruise line if they spoke poorly of any customer. Especially since she's been there almost a decade and has definitely put in a lot of money on it. Anyone that seemed agreeable with her likely have the same opinions as her
I went on semester at sea back in 2015, which was 4 months at sea/ travelling around the world. It was awesome. Some (older) alumni are living on ships full time now.
I can see this becoming a movie plot. Thirty couples ranging from just retired to nearly 💀 decide to live out their golden years on a cruise ship. But the cruise ship goes off course. They run into pirates, who ravage the vessel for anything they can eat. The cruise-goers band together to learn how to fish, and become quite good at it. But not everyone wants to work for food. This was supposed to be their retirement. They begin to turn on one another. As time goes on, people begin 💀 ing, one by one. Nobody knows what- or who- is causing the disappearances…
I'm somewhat attracted to minimalistic and nomatic life styles, but this sounds like a nightmare. There is just something about cruises that's so unappealing to me. I haven't even been on one, but I don't like all inclusive hotels, unethical tourism or very curated tourist areas. Cruises are all three on hard mode....
I lived on a "floatel" (literally just a cruise ship that was stationary and functioned like a hotel) for a job for the better part of 2 years, so i didnt just live there rent-free, i was also getting paid....its horrible. It feels cramped after a few months, everyone knows everyone, the food starts feeling repetitive, and it becomes a big brother season because drama starts happening

CJ Tudor literally wrote a short story about a cruise ship full of people of all ages that have been living there for decades after a natural disaster - and lemme tell you it got real creepy and dystopian real fast. It's called "End of the Liner" on "A Sliver of Darkness" if anyone's interested
Oh that sounds fascinating, thank you for sharing!
I'll check it, thank you for recommending!
ty this sounds sick im gonna read it
Oh so like wall-e
thanks for the rec!
"She has her opinions" is a terrific approach to characterize a person.
I work at a cruise ship terminal, trust me, it’s all retired people already on most ships. 9:10
The only people who aren’t in the “nearly dead” category are the MOST BORING “newly weds” ever who don’t know how to plan a vacation on land.
different strokes for different strokes, but hearing the sentence "three year cruise" made my heart clench
Different folks is how that saying ends
u mean different strokes for different folks?
yeah i’m uncomfortable just thinking about it. even a month is probably too long for me. THREE YEARS???
different strokes for different strokes
Danny’s so cool I wish he was real
Fr tho ever since his death in 84’ I haven’t been the same😔😔
me too 😔
😢
Underrated comment
Nah it was 87’… the bite of 87’. I can never forget.
I love how the great grandma called the workers “the help”, like they are there for just her
I just like the idea of advertising for a cruise with "Under the Sea" playing in the background.
Like... spare two seconds to think about that.
I would like to build an iceberg for that ship
xd here before this comment pops off
Titanic 2
And don’t put enough lifeboats in
im investing on that
That sounds like a good idea for a movie!
Suite Life On Deck irl
this sounds like my nightmare, small claustrophobic in the middle of the ocean for days... not to mention crime is insane on cruise ships
A lot of cruise lines actually are offering extended stays/vouchers to stay in rooms for longer periods of time. It saves them time and work also, and is becoming more common to stay for 12-18 months at a time for cheaper prices for people like this
4:50 no danny the Amazon person would be furiously swimming to the ship, trying to catch up. on the brink of death, lungs filled with water, and screaming "YOUR ORDER OF 200 NUTCRACKERS IS HERE"
not for what they pay amazon workers lol
im thinking of the mail dude from ninjago ngl
Then they have to swim back to shore and finish the rest of their route, and the next package recipient files a complaint that their hand got the box wet.
My grandfather is actually a big cruise guy and spends literally 90% of his time on cruises, will miss huge family events for cruises (is missing my sister's wedding for one actually! A whole year out!), even sold his mother's home (our grandmother who recently passed) where we had all our family get togethers and many memories, just for more money for cruises! Gotta love it
Your grandfather’s mother was your grandmother?
@@WaterAirFriesEarthyes and his mom is his sisters aunt. Keep up dude cmon
@@WaterAirFriesEarth hmmmm sounds incestuous
@@WaterAirFriesEarth a great grandma is stilla grandma
Yall knew what I meant lmao, but yes I meant great grandmother, and her son, my grandfather
I was just on a cruise and met a gentleman who “worked from home” and only spent 30 days of a year off the ship! Booked back to back to back cruises by winning them through the casino. I cannot imagine.
I will say he did not get the same room every cruise, and would have to get on and off the ship each time.
That was my first thought. You’d have to switch rooms like every week or two, take all your things on and off the ship to re-check in, have all your documents (passport etc) re-verified, possibly even quarantine… what a pain.
@@DKF_oliyou actually don’t if you book in advance. If you book the exact same cruise and go back to back you can keep your same room too and not have to pack all your luggage. You just get off and get back on (but you get to get back on far earlier than everyone else!) They already come to clean your room daily so it’s not like anything changes. My mom actually has been looking into doing this for quite some time and knows some friends who have lol, she already takes like 2 cruises a year.
10:41 it also says its CGI so the real unit probably isn’t even this posh.
Danny ponders cruise living logistics for 13 minutes and 12 seconds
“we agree Danny,” we all say in unison
we agree danny
We agree daddy
we agree Danny,

We agree Danny
5:49 There can NOT be that much to do on a cruise ship, at a certain point it would just be the same thing over and over again
0:48 when retired Americans do this they usually have a friend or family members address listed as their residence for tax purposes and store sentimental valuables in a storage unit or with family. They also sometimes have their own properties to go back to.
i live on a cruise ship too. they just don’t know it yet
interpreted this as your house on land not knowing that it's a cruise ship
😂🎉
7:20 She knows her grandkids and she doesn't want to be NEAR those great-grands 💀
8:11 well cruises have shows, pools, activities, and meals that are probably better than retirement homes. You also meet new people too, plus the rocking of the boat can be pretty relaxing for sleep. You get nice views too
4:39 Danny, fun fact, there is a way to get mail on a boat, these people called like mail runners or sm literally have to SPRINT to grab the mail from the mailbox, and have to RUN to actually get it on the boat- I forgot how much it pays but that’s a fricking crazy job- like imagine your whole job basically is us running to two different places and if you don’t make it your like screwed-😂
As a nurse I KNOW at least some of those old ppl have medications so like how do they get their meds
delivery people swim furiously
The ships dock lol these folks have their meds sent to the next port that they'll arrive to
@@shannonceleste5557 you have to see your doctor every 6 months to a year to get them filled sometimes sooner depending on the medicine but maybe the ship has a doctor ?
@@shannonceleste5557 that's the not fun explanation
That’s what I was thinking! And like even if they get them when they dock, what happens if there is supply shortages of a certain medication when they dock and they have to leave before they can get their meds? That 88 year old is going to die and expect the “help” to deal with it!
i’m clocking in for my danny gonzalez shift
Man. Just the idea of not having to grocery shop and meal plan sounds amazing to me.
Are we just gonna ignore that the Captain's name is Burger?? 6:39
imhigh and eating chicken that some guy from the beach gave me
very real
good for you
omg i’m high eating mozzarella sticks from ihop because i didn’t know ihop had mozzarella sticks so i just had to order them
Living the life
Hell yea bruther make surebto get all the bugs out first
Why are your eyes gateways to the ocean man…you got like,,fish in there?? Is nemo there,,dory, pergpaps,,,,mayhaup,,,
insane way of saying he has pretty eyes but I like the spirit
as an australian i was not expecting a Clive Palmer reference but thoroughly enjoyed it 12:57
0:59 life is easy he says. Pirates make life easy. Waves are easy. The smell of the bodies in the ship morgue is easy to deal with. Eating the same thing every day is easy.
Delete the channel and post later, I’m busy rn
real, I hate this guy
Same, gotta sub to him and watch every video so i remember how much i hate him
Frl like who is this man and how did he get on my phone? He needs to stop being the only RUclipsr I watch, smh🙄
Then why are you here.
@@blisseysaurus cause the notif was so annoying... duh 🙄🙄 its important to tell danny about what he should improve on
My great aunt did this for almost 5 years back around 2000. Even though she owned several houses and thousands of acres in Canada, she preferred to live on a cruise ship. Before she decided to go non-stop, she had a camper trailer and would stay there until the next cruise came in. She was a retired chemical engineer and had worked hard all her life. She was my inspiration to be more than a mom and wife that most of my peers in my tiny town became. I miss her dearly. I am a polymath with 4 degrees... I wish she could see me now 💐
Damn hope you get better!
Are you on a boat?
@@romywhite290no polygons allowed on boats very sad
That just sounds wasteful, honestly. Congrats on being a polymath though
12:23 the editing here was so smooth
I can’t believe he made this whole video without mentioning suite life on deck
This is the new official outfit for cruiseship information
"yes danny" we say in unison
yes danny
yes danny
yes danny
Yes danny
yes danny
"Okay lets do the math...
By googling it"
Danny's so real
the first couple looked exactly how I expected them to
chugga chugga choo choo
“Thank you for wearing the same awesome outfit Danny” we all say in unison
Danny's outfit really highlights how much of a dad he has become
9:58 Honorary nod to the "MS Narrative" being build by "Storylines" by a CEO named "Pun-ton".
Bro I just sat down to eat and refreshed my feed. Perfect timing
1:58 her smile is actually really sweet. She looks so happy and it’s making me happy.
Agreed that was kind of mean of him to make fun of her smile
Yeah, that part definitely reminded me everyone is pretty much a bully on the internet.
Yeah, sometimes I think he just says things without thinking. Everybody has those moments. I don’t think he’s unkind. He just let the inside thought out and it was an on the spot judgment.
I don't think he meant any harm😭
@@lauren3173 Yeah, but he didn’t have to choose to leave it in the video after he recorded it. We all have unkind thoughts and may sometimes let them slip, but that’s different than saying something you post in a video for hundreds of thousands of people to see.
5:26 Drew voice* Aww, theyre in love
The fact that they’re trying to market this as an affordable option is insane. 50,000 a year is 1,000 more than what I make per year!
THE CUBS OUTFIT IS THE CRUISE OUTFIT
Loving Danny Boatzalez era :)
Theres this fiction podcast called The Red Valley and whle it's mostly about cryogenics there is a plot about a cruisliner for retired and elderly folks before they pass. It's really interesting to think about when stuff liike this is happening in real life and it highlights some of the ways stuff like this can go so wrong.
3:50 cruises sound kind of like in-app purchases haha
1. Cruise culture is insane and living on cruise ships has been a thing for a long while.
2. Why do people still listen to Graham (guy from beginning) anymore? He's promoted multiple scams while claiming to "not give financial advice"
About mailing things: you can often get things sent to where you will be when it arrives. You can just have it be a pick up order from one of Amazon’s pick up locations or more UPS and FedEx locations at the port you’re at. You can also do this while you’re traveling in general
I’m so disturbed by all the people acting like that old lady is an icon when she’s a walking red flag.
because it's a joke and it's funny lol
@@mxcksrealm it’s only a joke and funny if you agree with it, otherwise it’s disturbing.
I think more realistically they would get in trouble with their cruise line if they spoke poorly of any customer. Especially since she's been there almost a decade and has definitely put in a lot of money on it. Anyone that seemed agreeable with her likely have the same opinions as her
@@alexr3900 I was referring to people in the comments, I totally understand the cruise ship staff not feeling free to criticize a customer
I went on semester at sea back in 2015, which was 4 months at sea/ travelling around the world. It was awesome. Some (older) alumni are living on ships full time now.
Love the new cruiseship channel ! Can't wait for more cruiseship news from Danny Gondola !
The minimalized edit was great
I can see this becoming a movie plot. Thirty couples ranging from just retired to nearly 💀 decide to live out their golden years on a cruise ship. But the cruise ship goes off course. They run into pirates, who ravage the vessel for anything they can eat. The cruise-goers band together to learn how to fish, and become quite good at it. But not everyone wants to work for food. This was supposed to be their retirement. They begin to turn on one another. As time goes on, people begin 💀 ing, one by one. Nobody knows what- or who- is causing the disappearances…
Lost but Golden Girls sounds dope as hell
"i hope you go to live on a cruise ship" we all grumble in unison
I am filled with cement
yes!
Relatable
i am filled with semen
das concrete baby

A LOT of seniors cruise over and over before they die. Many seniors die on cruises for this reason!
My wifi glitched and the video froze right at 1:30
Didn’t realize it was frozen for a few seconds and it was truly unnerving 🙏
I'm somewhat attracted to minimalistic and nomatic life styles, but this sounds like a nightmare. There is just something about cruises that's so unappealing to me. I haven't even been on one, but I don't like all inclusive hotels, unethical tourism or very curated tourist areas. Cruises are all three on hard mode....
Also the fact that you're trapped on the boat most of the time. That ship's gonna feel claustrophobic after a while
I'm a trucker and this life is the exact opposite. You see all the ugly parts of cities. But the country views are unmatched.
You sound insufferable
Yeah a lot of old folks do this because it's cheaper than most retirement homes.
By a ton I think it’s like 5-7,000 less per month
Yeah that's the insane part. Way cheaper and no 10 year waiting list. Probably far less of the annoying and restrictive rules too.
love the editing, thank you max
I lived on a "floatel" (literally just a cruise ship that was stationary and functioned like a hotel) for a job for the better part of 2 years, so i didnt just live there rent-free, i was also getting paid....its horrible. It feels cramped after a few months, everyone knows everyone, the food starts feeling repetitive, and it becomes a big brother season because drama starts happening
Sounds like a retirement home, minus the dancing
Can’t wait for part 3 where Danny moves his family to live full time on the titanic replica. Packing is a breeze since you only need one shirt!
