Would you live on a cruise ship?

So, a 52 year old woman and her husband have been living on a cruise ship for the past three years. She and her husband work remotely, so that doesn’t interfere with their living situation. She said they love waking up in different countries, and meeting other full time cruisers. I don’t know how long they plan on continuing this, but three years is already a long time.
If you could afford it, would you live on a cruise ship full time? I think I wouldn’t mind trying it, but I doubt I could go longer than a few months. I’d definitely like having delicious food available, and entertainment handy.
What do you think?

I've heard it can actually be cheaper in some cases. But the way everyone gets deathly ill on those things, I'll pass.

@AmbiePam - I coudn't afford that, but I can see how some would save money. And everything is provided. But I don't feel like being a statistic on the news cycle.

I don't want to. I don't even want to go on a cruise.

Nooooo....
Cruise ship is just not for me. I love going to beautiful islands and enjoying the sand and the sea. I don't think I'd enjoy the sea view on a cruise ship though. I know there's a lot of entertainment there, pool, casino, clubs, etc. But I would feel enclosed. I would be staying mostly on the deck to get the sun and the sea breeze, however, I still wouldn't enjoy it.
I love hopping from one island to another, snorkeling, the sand on my feet....

Oh HECK no. I wouldn’t mind living out of a hotel for fun for a month while I travel. I would NOT want to do that the way my friends in Chicago might have to while their house gets repaired. 
But to travel around for a month, spend a week here and a week there in an extended stay hotel and see the sights, sure. Not on a cruise ship though. And if you think you could, ask those guys on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

I couldn't imagine living on a cruise ship, I would miss the land, and my family members too much.
Even everyday things, like walking in the grass or driving a car, although I know that passengers can disembark and do things, it wouldn't be for me. Plus I like to cook.

That would probably be fun, maybe not permanently but maybe a long vacation. I thought of working on one ages ago

Gee, all that food. I might weight 300 lbs! I might try it for awhile. I do love to travel.

I wouldn't mind trying it for a year to see how it goes.

I seriously doubt that I would want to live in a cruise ship since I prefer a home with a roof over my head.
