SINGAPORE - Some retirees spend a lot of time and money on long cruises to avoid being stuck - and bored - in retirement homes but if you are not the seafaring sort you should check out a serviced apartment for long-term stay.
The monthly rents are likely to be cheaper than a cruise ticket if you count the days involved, and there's no chance that you will fall overboard or be laid low by sea-sickness.
