Original cost was $30k per year. That should have been a red flag. That's 3-4x less than the cost a standard cruise. After the delay the cost was increased to $38k per year. Still way too cheap. Then the cruise changed departure from a US port to a foreign port so so it wouldn't be required to buy a US performance bond to guarantee a refund if the line failed.

The issue is that she sold everything and planned to work on the cruise because she wouldve kept building her wealth over those 3 years with hardly any expenses during the trip. So when she got back, she wouldve had a large amount of funds accrued. If she goes to a different cruise and buys multiple tickets for a long trip, she loses that due to new costs with different cruises.

I've heard of promises of cruises like this, mostly for retirees, and honestly for folks that like cruises it sounds wonderful. A studio apartment on the sea basically. Glad her story is out so we can warn my in-laws. They are definitely the type of cruise lovers that might have considered something like this. Sucks for this lady, I hope she's able to find a new adventure to make the best out of this situation.

I remember hearing about this happening to other people earlier this year 😢

Clever Lucy , huh? 😂

My first red flag would be when they said it’s at three-year cruise…. Never heard of such a thing…. not to mention if a cruise company was offering a three-year cruise. The prices would have to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per person if you actually think about it for a weeks cruise per person is anywhere from $1500 up to $5000 so can you imagine what the price would have to be at three years, do you have any idea how many times ship would have to refuel and resupply. There’s no way this even makes sense realistically not to mention all the crew on a board that ship would have to sign on for three year workday. Yes, something definitely doesn’t add up.

If ya financial advisor tells ya ass that’s okay to sell everything for a 3 year cruise… well then fuck it 💁🏻‍♂️

Well, if she down sized drastically, doesn’t own a home anymore (and has the cash from selling it) and can work remotely, she has a hell of a lot of freedom to still do whatever she wants to! And if she got the surgery she needed, she’s already having the mentality of not putting crap off until tmrw to do what you want! Most people don’t even have a “financial advisor” to consult so she’s already on top of her game even if she got screwed here! It still prepared her to be ready to go out and have new experiences so it wasn’t a total loss unless she’s not going to still do anything from here. However, as a side note: these vaccines are only highly recommended, not required to travel to these countries…incase anyone else was wondering.

You have such a positive outlook. Your adventures await you. Maybe it’s better they cancel now rather than in the midst of your global travels.

Does she know that they are selling tiny homes on the Golden Gate Bridge with an ocean view? Someone should let her know.

I met a woman near where I live that signed up for this. She was very very disappointed it was cancelled.

This is how i would expect someone that sold all her belongings to go on a three year cruise to look like.

International moving and shipping company is the same scam, and they escaped from consumer rights law or even contract law.

my right ear thoroughly enjoyed this video

Major cruise companies, the higher end ones, are beginning to offer cruise ship residences for year round cruises. I have considered it because shes right- it is more cost effective and you get to see the world. Too bad it didn't work out for her.

If you sell your entire life based on vague promises of a future cruise from a company who doesn't even own the ship yet.... I don't know what to tell you.

did not have audio till the end had to use closed captioning

Yeah. So many questions.... Why did the segment show a Aida cruise ship in between, a company which had nothing to do with the scam cruise? Is Local 12 looking to get sued? Why was her research into something where she will put her life savings and three years of her time and includes selling her house only four days? Why did she - after those four days deliberation - book a cruise with a scam company, when there are literally dozens of reputable firms out there? Why did she immediately give up her dream, when the first try did not work out? Did she get her money back? What happened? Is that company really a scam or did something else happen?

Did you calculate the risk of the cruise cancelling?

I couldnt imagine being on a boat w the same people for 3 years

Why would anyone have paid up front for this when the company didn’t even have a ship? They were waiting to bid on one, which they lost, so they didn’t get a ship. Plus they would’ve needed to renovate the ship, and that would’ve taken a long time to do. Then after that it would’ve needed to pass inspection before it could sail. Not to mention if the ship ever needed maintenance or had an emergency, it has to dock wherever it’s sailing.

3 year cruise seems like it was too good to be true. Gilligan went on a 3 hour tour and look how messed up that was.

*The red glasses, lipstick, and fact she is from Ohio explains everything*

She seems resourceful enough to rebound. She probably had to get an apartment short-term. May have to take a series of smaller cruises.

What always shocks me about these kinds of stories is how the people always have pictures of everything for years and years. People are obsessed with picture taking.

Why is this video’s audio only mixed on the right channel

These cruises need to be sued for leaving customers stranded. When is too good to be true; is fraud.

living out loud… I’ve had two friends do similar & they were back & starting all over again w/ their day to day situations. She had a lovely home, I hope she is made whole. She should $ue out loud, really loud.

Why the audio only on the right side??

Now she’s got nothing to lose 🤷‍♀️ she should go for it

I would have loved that cruise too!!

NEVER depend on an event such as cruises, concerts, shows, etc. to be on time or guaranteed to happen.

That’s messed up!😩

Hope she had a good travel insurance policy. It sounded like it would have been an awesome adventure.

That wouldve been an amazing investment considering she could work, see the world, unlimited food and housing for 3 years with one price.

Putting faith in WORLDLY WAYS, how did that work out for you???

She could have just signed up as a cruise director. I hear that, if you play the piano really, really well you can stay on it long enough that, when you're ready to die, they'll blow up the ship around you.

Advertising cruises just before this video 😂

Make no mistake, she’s not very clever if she thought that there would be a *~MULTI-YEAR~* cruise and that it would somehow not be a absolute disaster after a month tops However, I won’t deny that she has made the most out of it… reflecting on one’s attachments to excess belongings (which I’m still in need of doing) and using the would-be experience as the final push to tend to a needed procedure… things that likely wouldn’t have happened anytime soon otherwise… But yeah, even if she gets a full refund, which is highly unlikely… she’ll be lucky to get ANY refund, at least in a timely manner anyway (I do hope I’m wrong and that she’s already gotten a refund)… hopefully she only paid for a deposit and not the full amount of the cruise There likely aren’t even 140 countries that I know the names of, let alone that I’d want to visit…

Since she sold everything she should just live the expat life for a while. It's probably a blessing in disguise that she's not tired down with a mortgage anymore.
