| 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. | |
| So yeah, they are heroes. | |
| They are legends. I love to see people beat the system. | |
| I'm going to do this. I'm not going to go to a retirement home. | |
| I'm just going to be permanently on a cruise just like these two legends. | |
| Alright, if you liked this video, you are going to like the full episode even better. |
