living on a ship

On the Ryndam, I met a very nice lady who always wore a rose in
her hair. I commented on it and she told me she'd lived aboard
HAL ships for 14 YEARS, paying double for the single supplement.
I wonder if the singles cabins on NCL would be a half-priced, so
to speak, way to retire.

I can think of less expensive and still luxurious places in which to
retire. I'm not talking about wrinkle retirement communities either.

Mh guess is that its one for which folks like me would qualify, and I
have the wrinkles to prove it. LOL

There are "retirement communities" for age 55 and up. I'm 55 and I
don't have any wrinkles. Why would anyone have a problem with wrinkles
anyway? Everyone gets them sooner or later. I think that post just
rubbed me the wrong way.

Nonny, I saw her several times around the ship...in the buffet and show
room. I can't believe she was as thin as she was living on a ship for so
many years! I didn't know she was paying double for a single
supplement...no wonder the crew and staff were so supportive and caring of
her! Wonder what category cabin she is in and how she handles the tips? ;-)

Me either, Marsha....no wrinkles, I mean! Just ask Ermalee! ;-)

Hi Brian,

It would seem that cost is not an important consideration for the lady. I
suspect she feels she is living the life of a queen and it does seem pretty
good to me. I have heard of similar ladies.

Harry Cooper

For anyone who doesn't know it, the lady that Tom spoke about is "Momma
Lou". She has been on most of the HA ships over the years, and knows many
of the crew members. She told me that she gets lots of gifts from, and
gives gifts to many of them on Birthdays, etc. She is a delightful lady.

She said that she was going to her home in Florida while the Ryndam is in
drydock.

Who else out there has met "Momma Lou" and on what ship?

Tobieon an Island in the Pacific
