I earlier said that the hero of the day was Trevor Bauer.

I take that back. My husband sent me a story this morning and I couldn't believe it.

Actually, the heroes are this grandma and grandpa, two retired Australians who spent almost 500 days at sea after booking 51 straight cruises.

Why? Because they realized that permanently living on a cruise ship Is actually less costly than a retirement home.

Yeah, it is cheaper to live on a cruise ship.

Check out these legends.

Take a listen. Talk to me about how you came up with this crazy idea.

Well, it's more to do with the two years without cruising, I suppose, than catching up on the cruise we've missed.

The couple has been cruising for decades, but jumped at the chance to hit the water again post-COVID. And eventually I said to my agent, look, I said, whatever, can't just book it.

And that's how it got to be such a long cruise.

51 back-to-back cruisers, it's easy to say the great-grandparents simply love cruising,

with all their meals taken care of and room cleaned daily.

A cheaper alternative, they say, than being in a retirement home.

Among the perks of their lifestyle, well, they say there's always something to do,

from dancing to dinner. It comes with a maid to clean your room. They start each day playing

ping pong and enjoying cracking open a couple of beers to sit on their balcony and take in the

views. They also have been an on-board family with the crew, who love to see the pair every

single time that they board for another cruise. Even those just popping on for a single cruise

have heard about the well-traveled pair and want to say hi.

The ship's hotel manager says that they have basically become celebrities on board.

They are the grandma and grandpa of the cruise line, essentially.

And they're doing all of this because, well, they realize that it is cheaper than living in a home and also likely more fun because they get to meet new people every time new people embark onto the cruise.
