[ship horn] Well, the way I look at it is, I don’t have any vacation. [ship horn] [laughs] I mean, you know, people come here for vacation. I don’t. I come here to live my life. Adopting a cruise ship life is basically escaping from reality. You are basically exiting the world as you know it on land, and you’re saying, I don’t want to be a part of that anymore. I want to create my own little world. And I want to be away from all the issues that come up with living on land. And how you create that reality is really a very personal decision. I don’t have to take out the garbage. I don’t have to clean. I don’t have to do laundry. I mean, I have eliminated all those non-value-added activities and just have all the time in the world to enjoy what I like to do. [MUSIC - “AIN’T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH”] (SINGING) No wind, no rain, no winter’s cold can stop me, baby, baby, baby, if you’re my goal — Good evening, everyone. [crowd] Good evening! So ladies and gents, I’m going to introduce to you our top cruiser for this cruise — 6,900 nights. That’s almost 19 years cruising nonstop. Please give a big round of applause to Super Mario — Mario Salcedo. Mario, please come up here. [MUSIC - “BEAT TO CRUISIN’” BY SMOKEY ROBINSON] Colin, good to see you. Congratulations. Frank, good to see you again. Rocco, pleasure. Mario, has so many benefits he almost owns half of the Enchantment, huh? [laugh] All right, let’s take a picture. [TELEVISION ON IN THE BACKGROUND] What can we expect from Iran in the wake of all this? Will that deal backfire? Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell just said the president — he has quote “excessive expectations.” I mean, it was — we were putting a lot of pressure. I said, Bailey, 80% of your pinnacle members are conservative Republicans. Yeah, they like their Fox News. You know? That’s one of the biggest complaints that I hear. Yeah, why can’t you give us Fox News? You know? So he finally — He did? Yeah, he finally agreed. Yeah. You going to the island today, Mario? No, I’m going to sacrifice. You’re not going to go to the island? No. You can tell when Mario’s busy. He’s busy. He’s in his office on his computer, yeah. He sacrifices. [laughter] I don’t go out and seek groups of people going to CocoCay or going outside. I don’t do that because I don’t like being part of a group dynamic. I’m just, right now, living very happily. I’m the happiest guy in the world. OK, I am the happiest person in the world, being alone. [music playing in background] [announcement over loudspeakers] You’ve got 60 seconds to show us what you got. Here we go. Take it away. [BACKGROUND MUSIC - LMFAO, “SEXY AND I KNOW IT”] Oh, oh, oh! So where are you going from this ship, Mario? I’m staying here till October 20th. Where are you going? And then I’m going to the Freedom. Oh, we’ll be on the Freedom. We’re going to be on the Freedom. We’re probably gonna be on there once in November and once in December. You know the dates? Well, you know what? Actually, I can access my calendar here. Oh, November 5th, we’re on the Freedom. Five? Yes. November 5th. Wow, let me put you down here on my spreadsheet. Are you on? Of course. All right. Good. Of course. And then, on the 26th we’re on the Rhapsody. And we’re back on the Freedom on the 17th of December. I’ll be there. Twice! O.K. Well, that’s great. Good… good. Have you ever fell in love on the ship? Oh, many times. Many times. Not only that, I’ve gotten married and divorced on the same cruise. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the time you get back, there’s no alimony, no child support. [laughter] What’s next? In other words, a human being always has to have some goal to be achieved. In my case, I really have exhausted — I don’t know what else is out there. I don’t know. I just don’t have any more. So I guess the only thing I have to look forward to are just the new ships. That’s O.K. And that’s O.K. That’s great. That’s amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, congratulations. Congratulations. That’s a very interesting life. It’s a great life. A great life, absolutely. Yeah, very nice, yeah. Well, cheers to you. Thank you so much — Thank you. But I’m happy. I’m the happiest guy in the world. I’m very happy. When I was in the corporate world, before I took up cruising as a lifestyle, I just worked, worked, and worked, and loved every minute of it. I guess if I would have been keen on starting a family and having children and all that, I wouldn’t be here. I would be on land like a normal person. [soft music] “Going down.” Wish I had my own private elevator. “Deck six.” Good, my friends are here. My friends are here. Take a break, Danny. Take a break. Hey! Hey! Hi, Carly. Take a break — my usual visit. Good to see you, Danilo. How are you? Beautiful. Excellent. Excellent. Barbara, where are you going? Where are you going, Barbara? Where are you — come over here. Where are you going? Where are you going? Don’t try to sneak — you trying to sneak past me, aren’t you? Yeah, yeah. Never, Super Mario. How are you? I’m doing well. We had a great breakfast. Booking another cruise? No, I’m telling him that I have bad news. I don’t have anything to book. How come? I have every week booked until May of 2019. [laughter] Super Mario, wonderful seeing you. OK, Barbara, good to see you again. See you tomorrow morning? Absolutely. Your coffee, your — Yeah, same thing. O.K., ciao. Ciao, ciao. OK, Danny, I’ll leave you. See you around. I’ll leave you alone. Bye, Carly. Bye-bye. See you. Super Mario, [spanish]. [spanish] At the beginning when I started living on a cruise ship, yeah, some points in time I had maybe some regrets. Why did I leave everything behind? But then, that sort of just went away. [orchestral music swells] [bubbles] I have already planned my death. If I really get sick, I may decide to do one final scuba dive and just go down 400 feet. Instead of having to live my last years on land in a land hospital. To me, that would be pure hell. But you know, I am not focused on that. I think that’s still, hopefully, a ways away, so I’m not worried about that. [coughs] [peaceful music]
