I'd love to see a video of a typical day in the life Mario! Does he go to any shows? Does he get off the ship in any ports? Does he do any specialty dining? Does he ever tire of the same food, etc.........?So many questions about what life is like for a lifelong cruiser!
Mario is such a pro. I loved all of his tips. It's awesome that he had a plan to live on cruise ships for 15 years before he did it. I need to start making these plans!
I'd love to see a vlog following him on turnaround days. What he does off the ship, how he packs for a new trip, and how he sets up his room when back on board! And also what the process looks for him to choose and book his many cruises
I just love the informational videos you have with Super Mario. I appreciate you so much. Thank you Mario for sharing your at sea lifestyle with everyone.
Love listening to you, Mario. Thanks for bringing him to us, Alanna! One little correction - Holland America has free laundry at 4 star Mariner level (200+ cruise credits).
I want to be like Super Mario when I grow up 😊. Almost there 10-15 to retirement; I am taking his advise (test the market)! Thank you!! Great info always!!
Parking car at cruise port is another $20 a day. One day turnaround is just a few hours to do laundry, check mail, do errands, and return to cruiseship.
He was so nice to autograph my playing cards on Harmony, I wanted so badly to talk with him but didn't want to bother him. What a nice man! We are on the TA to Barcelona together and hoping he will let me treat him to a Chef's Table one night maybe.
I saw Mario one time on a ship and I didn't want to bother him. Next time I will say hello! When you were talking about having a home base I thought of the dreaded C and how nice it must have been to have a place to be while all that was being figured out.
Absolutely need a home base! Consider cruise ship living as supplemental rather than an alternative. Allianz (not Alliance) travel insurance is fantastic for annual plans and is global so it's available on both sides of the pond. Lovely to see Mario updates! 👍
I'm only up to tip make time for family. Now I'm wondering how you manage turn around day if you don't want to go home because you mentioned having "visitors" or guests on board. Are you allowed to have guests? I know in the time of my parents, it was allowed, but it looks like the cruise lines make you all get off.
Thank you Alanna for all of your helpful Videos. Cruising on Royal is our all time favorite vacation. Perhaps we will run into you someday. Your daughter is a cutie. Enjoy your time together now before she grows up. Too Fast!
Does he have to depart the ship and go through customs every trip and then go back through the check in process to re-board or do they take care of that internally on the ship
So, we never got the answer, Alanna. Where does Mario park his car? Oh, also, what happens if a cruise that Mario books gets chartered? We've had that happen to us twice and we only cruise 1-2 times a year. I'm sure he's experienced this. Does the charter offer to let him keep his room or does he have to relocate for a week?
24 days and counting….. who is going to the 2023 Key West Fantasy Fest? October 20th to 29th. This year‘s theme is “Uniforms and Unicorns” 200 years of sailing into fantasy. The theme reflects the Florida Keys 2023 bicentennial. It’s to celebrate 200 years of the United States Navy in the Florida Keys.

I’m on the Odyssey of Seas with Mr. Mario now. I saw his plaque so I looked him up. I have to say hello tomorrow! 😊
Alanna. Thank you for posting this. I loved the earlier Super Mario videos. Thanks for the updates.
He is such an inspiration. I have talked about doing this before I heard of Mario. Thanks Mario for your insight and hope to meet you one day.
Love listening to you, Mario. Thanks for bringing him to us, Alanna!

We came out of Harmony today and had the pleasure of meeting him! My husband gave him a cigar, which he enjoys smoking!

Harmony was our first cruise. We loved it so much, we did it twice. 2018 Dec. When I put in my retirement notice: 0.

once again, a fabulous video with supermario!
Great time with Super Mario.
It was so neat to meet Super Mario on Allure in 2022! I love all the videos with him!
I love all the Mario videos!❤️
Very interesting video! He provided very good information, and I agree, a home based is needed.
We need a new Super Mario
Very interesting. I'll be on Harmony March 2024.
I cruise only on transatlantic trips. Could Mario tell us which RCL TA's he has booked?
Also interested as to how often he changes ships.
How long will Mario be on Harmony? I go on Dec 3 and would love a picture with him.

Here is the updated link for the Excel spreadsheet! ancient-toast-37264.myflodesk.com/nnq27oc5ty
Yes please.
Yes I do. Thanks!
How do we get the spreadsheet?
Does Mario park his car at the port? He mentioned he doesn’t want to Uber and likes to have his car as soon as he gets off the ship.
Yes, please!
Thank you Alanna for all of your helpful Videos. Cruising on Royal is our all time favorite vacation. Perhaps we will run into you someday. Your daughter is a cutie. Enjoy your time together now before she grows up. Too Fast!
New here and enjoyed ❤
I would love that. ❤
Watching from Japan with Royal Caribbean Spectrum of The Seas, doing a 30 night sailing 4b2b's..
Where does Mario keep his car when he’s cruising? It would be very expensive to park at the cruise port.
Where does he park when he's in port?
Alana - what is the status of Mama Lee Wachtstetter? Did she return to living on a cruise ship after the pandemic?
Would love to know what floor you like to stay on and what part of ship
Thank you for the video. At 15:59, that should say "Allianz."
Has he ever thought of becoming prime member in the casino and take advantage of those offers for some free cruises?
I’m so pissed!!! once again I didn’t get a notification that you were going live. I’ve checked everything at I’m good. So sorry Alanna.
Does he have to depart the ship and go through customs every trip and then go back through the check in process to re-board or do they take care of that internally on the ship
yes, they leave the ship go through Customs and go back.
HELLI, I did not find a link fir Super Mario Excel spreadsheet.
Thank you

At the cruise terminal. Unless he booked through the charter, he gets booted for that week. Good questions Ken!
Thanks, @@CruisetheWorldAtoZ Another great video!
Mario: We will be on Harmony OTS next week October 1-8. Hope to see you and say hello.
Super Mario NCL HAVE FREE Laugury but only one bag but you can roll up alot in that bag each week.

Holland America has free laundry at the four stars level and above.
I have a question for Mario. Since he’s “working” while on the ship. Are the cruises tax deductible for him?
Celebrity has 1 bag of free laundry at Elite level. I think 2 bags at Elite plus. I get shirts as well as T shirts, underwear socks etc.
🛳🛳🛳 What happened to Alanna and family. Not see post from channel long time.
Its 1 free bag for every 7 days. Only shirts, shorts, pj's, underwear.
Car maintenance? Where does his car live haha I figured he wouldn't have on at this point.
❤❤❤❤
Does Super Mario use a travel agent. If yes, who is it.
Holland America’s Four and Five Star Mariners receive unlimited free laundry.
My issue would be my pants not fitting!
I just unsubscribed, then re-subscribed and hit the notification for all maybe that will help…
Such a dishonest person.
