Update, cruise ship to leave port after four month delay

I don’t see why the passengers/residents might not have a good attitude after this - people who live on a cruise ship are surely people who are up for an adventure and I can absolutely see them thinking of a 4-month break in another country as an adventure.  All their accommodation and meal costs were taken care of, just as though they were cruising, so the company is obviously doing everything they can to look after everyone.  The article about it in our local paper said that many people took the opportunity to visit other parts of Europe.

It is to be expected that the ship would need to be docked periodically for maintenance and repairs - would anyone really like to be on a ship that didn’t dock for that??? The 3-4 month delay was unfortunate but doesn’t say anything about the quality of the ship or the financial viability of the company - much of that time could well have been waiting for parts to be shipped to them from another country.  

I would love to live on a cruise ship like that; and I’d love to say that I would do it in a heartbeat but I’m afraid I’m not quite that brave. I like financial security and so although I like the idea of heading off on such an adventure, I couldn’t do it in our present circumstances.  If I won lotto though, then yeah I’d give it a go, knowing that I could come back & buy a house if it didn’t work out.
