A man who has lived on vessels for the past 25 years has revealed a bizarre health effect that he spent so much time at sea – he lost his agricultural bones.
Mario Salcedo, who recently spotted his 1,000th trip with Royal Caribbean and is known in Cruise Circles as ‘Super Mario’, said Conde Nast Traveler: ‘I lost my agricultural bones. I swing so much that I can’t walk in a straight line. I am so used to being on ships that it feels more comfortable to me than being on the land. ‘
Elaine Warren, the founder and CEO of The family cruise companynoted that the loss of ‘agricultural bones’ is common in long -term crossers.
She told MailOnline Travel: ‘The best time to a vessel sounds like a dream for many families. The comfort, entertainment and all -encompassing nature of the experience make it an attractive idea.
‘But if you pass from a holiday mindset to the sea, many unexpected things are happening – especially to your body.
‘I have spent years helping families plan holidays, and although short -term trips are one thing, it is another experience to stay on board in the long run.

‘The first adjustment is to constant movement. The body adapts to the ship’s movement over time, but that doesn’t always mean in a good way.
‘Many long -term crossers find that they develop’ sea bones’, where they get so used to the ship’s slight swing that walking on the land feels strange. I have been talking to people who lived at sea for months, and they say that it steps back on a solid ground, it can be decorating – almost like the country itself moves.
“For children, it can be particularly disturbing if they leave for a long journey for the first time.”
Mr. Salcedo revealed that he spent about $ 101,000/£ 81,000 on crop per year for a hut with a balcony, financing his ocean lifestyle through investment management.
His stature with Royal Caribbean is of such a nature that the crew created temporary offices for him on the deck on the deck with tables and chairs and chairs and signs ‘Super Mario’s Office’.
Mario recently pitched his 1,000th trip with Royal Caribbean. He is above in 2021
Mario’s 1000th speed was on the 3.286 passenger discovery of the seas (above in 2023), who left for Miami on January 5 for an 11-night journey to Panama and the South Caribbean Islands
Mario, who is not on social media, told Jackie Sheckler Finch at allthingscruise.com: ‘Crossing never gets old.
“I’m so used to being on ships that it feels more comfortable to me than being on the land.”
Told the full -time cruiser Allthingscruise.com That he took permanently to the seas after ‘tiring of the pack-and-tie business world and the long flights to international customers’.
After going on his first voyage in 1997, the Cuban-born businessman was stuck.
He has spent a few voyage lines, but settled on Royal Caribbean as the company with the ships he liked the best.
He has been living on royal Caribbean ships since the year 2000, and spends only a few days a year on the country waiting for 15 months during Covid.
His 1000th speed was on the 3,286 passenger scouts of the seas, who left for Miami on January 5 for an 11-night journey to Panama and the South Caribbean.
Mario said he spent about five hours a day and was “nice” for the rest of the time.
“It’s no tension,” he says. “The best lifestyle I can find.”
