His 1,000 cruise was at the Explorer of the Seas with capacity for 3,286 passengers, which left Miami January 5 for a 11 night trip to Panama and the southern Caribbean.
Mario said he spends about five hours a day working and “has fun” the rest of the time. “It does not generate stress”, affirms. “It’s the best lifestyle I can find,” he says.
Of course, it has an inconvenience. He spends so long embarked that when he steps on, it is difficult for him to walk. “I have lost my land legs. I swing so much that I cannot walk in a straight line. I am so accustomed to being in ships that I feel more comfortable than on land “, says.
Actually, what Mario Salcedo has is the Landing evil syndrome, A clinical dizziness picture and persistent body oscillations, described centuries ago when the sailors reached the ground after navigating.
