Mario Salcedo, a Cuban national, has spent over 20 years living on cruise ships after leaving a stressful finance job. He fell in love with Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas and has completed over 1,000 cruises, becoming a familiar figure among crew and earning the nickname “Super Mario.” While he enjoys his unique lifestyle, it has led to health issues. Mario feels more comfortable at sea than on land, having developed permanent “sea legs.” He spends around $82,000 annually to maintain his lifestyle, which allows him to work remotely while enjoying activities like scuba diving and ballroom dancing. Despite the challenges, he values his life at sea.
