Good question. The owners actually own for 50 years, the expected lifetime of the ship so as years go by the resell price will go down. Exclusive Resorts bought 4 units early on and I suppose the other owners tolerate that. Several ER members have gone on to purchase apartments onboard. It is a nice quiet experience. I have sailed The World several times with Exclusive Resorts. It is so nice to have a full kitchen stocked with everything you need. The apartments are a marvel and beautifully outfitted. There is very little entertainment onboard but nice amenities. There are usually only about 100 pax average except during peak times. I liked spending multiple nights in major ports. The other owners are friendly enough, I don’t think anyone lives aboard exclusively and most have multiple homes besides the ship.
