A few possibilities:
- They won't necessarily get free time in port on any given cruise, so
it might take many cruises to actually see everything.
- They don't want to deal with managed care and insurance companies.
- They have retired from regular practice and just want to keep their
hand in while doing something interesting.
- They want to open a private geriatrics practice, and what better place
to get experience than a cruise ship?

The legistlature is never so well employed as when they
look to the interests of those who are at a distance
from them in the ranks of society. It is their duty
to do so; religion calls for it; humanity calls for it;
and if there are hearts who are not awake to either of
those feelings, their own interests would dictate it.
