Cruise ship superfan 'can't walk straight' on land after living out at sea for 23 years

A cruise ship superfan who has lived at sea for over two decades says he 'can't walk straight' on land. Former financier Mario Salcedo has spent the last 23 years living on cruise ships which he views as 'an escape from reality'.

The American, who is better known onboard by the nickname 'Super Mario', has spent more than nine thousand nights on board Royal Caribbean ships, which is his preferred cruise company.

Salcedo admits he has barely touched land apart from a 15-month break from the waves due to the covid pandemic and has no desire to ditch the sea for "non-value activities" such as housework, reports the Mirror.
