00:00 I don't know what your retirement life is like.
00:04 In the future, after retirement, will you stay at home to hug your grandchildren,
00:08 enjoy your life, or travel around the world with your loved ones?
00:12 A couple in Australia chose to spend their retirement life on the sea.
00:17 According to the New York Post,
00:19 the couple boarded the luxury cruise "Princess coral"
00:22 from June last year,
00:25 and booked 51 flights in a row.
00:28 As of today, they have spent more than 450 days on the ship,
00:32 more than a year in total.
00:34 And it is expected that they will spend two years on the cruise.
00:39 After the extraordinary life of a cruise retiree,
00:42 the couple quickly became popular and became stars on the cruise.
00:46 Because they live on the cruise every day,
00:49 the crew has already regarded them as family.
00:53 Even other passengers will greet them.
00:57 But why did the couple choose to retire on the sea?
01:03 They have always loved to travel on the sea.
01:06 But during the COVID-19 pandemic,
01:09 Australia implemented strict lockdown measures
01:13 and forced them to return to the shore.
01:15 So after the lockdown,
01:17 they decided to take a revenge trip
01:19 and go on a crazy sea trip.
01:22 But they are on the cruise every day.
01:24 Don't you think it's boring?
01:28 The couple said they had already planned their schedule.
01:31 From 5.30 in the morning,
01:32 they will play table tennis for an hour before the sun rises.
01:36 They also like to sit on the balcony,
01:39 drink beer and enjoy the sea view.
01:41 It's very comfortable.
01:43 But it's not cheap to take a luxury cruise around the world.
01:49 According to the couple,
01:52 they have lived on the cruise for nearly 500 days.
01:54 The cost of the two years is even cheaper than living in a nursing home.
01:58 And there are experts to clean the room for them every day.
02:02 They don't have to make the bed or cook.
02:04 There are also various activities on the cruise,
02:07 such as watching performances and dancing.
02:09 The couple also said that after living on the sea for so long,
02:13 they can't adapt to life on land.
02:18 And then they will stay on the cruise for eight months.
02:21 Then they will go ashore for a short time and live on land for a few months.
02:25 Then they will continue to board another larger cruise
02:29 and start another cruise that will last for a year.
02:33 It sounds crazy.
02:34 I wonder if this kind of bloody sea life
02:37 will be a reference after you retire.
