Could you live on The World?

Don't know the programme, but from the posts and picture, it's obviously about a cruise liner. In the age of the virus, I would have thought such a vessel would be the last place anyone in their right mind would want to be contained in along with a gathering of people, rich or otherwise and no means of escape. One case of Covid and then the ship is stuck in dock and no one is allowed to disembark.

As all who are on "that thing" are very wealthy tax dodgers, it would not concern me if I read it has sunk tomorrow.

If money means so much to those people as to live a life such as that, I could not care less as to what happened to them.

Such a life would be totally repugnant to me.

The first time I saw The World, I couldn’t believe the sheer size of it then thought about who would decide to live on a floating apartment. Whilst I would love to have had a look around on board, living on it or sailing on it doesn’t appeal to me at all. I would find it too stifling, likewise, cruising.

This ship intrigues me. As you may know it's home to some very wealthy people, who between them choose where it sails. Most use it for a few months a year but for some it's their permanent residence. I try to imagine what it would be like as a permanent home - I'd miss having trees and birds around me, even if I was visiting wonderful places. Given an extraordinary amount of wealth could you live on The World?
