I have decided that when I retire this is what I am going to do. There will be no nursing home in my future....
When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a Carnival Cruise Ship. The average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day. I have checked on reservations at Carnival and I can get a long term discount and senior discount price of $135 per day. That leaves $65 a day for :
1. Gratuities which will only be $10 per day.
2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the restaurant, or I can have room service (which means breakfast in bed every day of the week).
3. Carnival ships have as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, free washers and dryers, and shows every night.
4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo.
5. They will even treat me like a customer, not a patient. An extra $5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help me and make me happy.
6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.
7. TV broken? Light bulb need changing? Need to have the mattress replaced? No Problem! They will fix everything and apologize for my inconvenience.
8. Clean sheets and towels every day, and I won't even have to ask for them.
9. If I fall in the nursing home and break a hip I am on Medicare. If I fall and break a hip on the Carnival ship they will upgrade me to a suite for the rest of my life.
Now this is the best part! Do I want to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Asia? Just name a place where I want to go! Carnival will have a ship ready for me! So don't look for me in a nursing home, just call shore to ship!
P.S. And don't forget, when I die, they'll just dump me over the side at no charge!
