A retired Australian couple became the stars of the sea as they spent nearly 500 days cruising around the world after booking 51 back-to-back cruises.
Marty and Jess Ansen took off on their first cruise on June 16, 2022, after a long two years of strict COVID-19 lockdowns in Australia. They have yet to stop, booking a total of 51 trips so far.
The great-grandparents have stayed on board Princess Cruises’ 2,000-passenger Coral Princess for more than 450 days — longer than most of the crew, including the captains — and expect to stay onboard the ship for two years.
“Eventually, I said to my [travel] agent: ‘Look, what ever comes, just book it,'” Marty told A Current Affair.
The couple claim it’s cheaper to cruise around the world for two years than pay for a retirement home.
“It’s our lifestyle,” Jess told the outlet. The couple enjoyed cruises for decades prior to making it their full-time living situation.
Among the perks of the lifestyle are that there’s always something to do, from dancing to dinner, and it comes with a maid to clean your room.
“Where else can you go where you go for dinner, you go to a show, you go dancing?” Jess said. “Through the day, you have all these activities.”

Huh, makes sense, whatever floats their boat.
I would not go near the entire ship — permanently
At least you wouldn’t get COVID. COVID wouldn’t stand a chance against all the other viruses floating around on that ship.
“Just think if there were orgy cruises.”
There are. Don’t ask me how I know.

$4200 for both.
That is amazing! You’re lucky to have found a place like that for your parents.
