Australian Retirees Live on Cruise Ship to Avoid Retirement Home Costs

An Australian couple has been living aboard the Coral Princess cruise ship for one and a half years to avoid paying for a retirement home. Marty and Jess Ansen have booked 51 consecutive trips on the cruise liner, claiming that it is cheaper than living in a retirement home. The couple asserts that they are the ones welcoming the captains on board, not the other way around. They have become celebrities who inspire others, with some passengers specifically requesting to meet them.
