A woman, Christine Kesteloo, has turned living on a cruise ship into a reality, thanks to her husband, who is the Staff Chief Engineer. This unique lifestyle allows her to live on the ship for free, only having to pay for alcohol and soft drinks at half price. Her daily routine resembles a permanent vacation, as she enjoys not having to cook, clean, or do laundry.
Despite the glamorous setting, Kesteloo does face a few restrictions in her life aboard the cruise ship. In a popular TikTok video, which garnered nearly 10 million views, she reveals four key things she is not permitted to do:
-
Gambling: Kesteloo cannot engage in gambling activities like playing slot machines, as it might create an awkward situation if she were to win a jackpot, given her husband’s position.
-
Leaving the Ship with Guests: When the ship docks at various destinations, she is not allowed to disembark with the passengers. Instead, she must wait for about an hour to leave with the crew and must return on time to avoid any issues.
-
Using Crowded Pools: While she has access to the ship’s amenities, including pools, she is careful not to disrupt the guests’ enjoyment. This means she will leave the pool if it gets too crowded.
-
Traveling Without Insurance: Due to potential risks, she is required to have international travel insurance. Fortunately, as a citizen of the Netherlands, she already has coverage, with just a small additional monthly fee.
Kesteloo’s lifestyle has garnered mixed responses on social media, with many women expressing envy and curiosity about marrying someone with a similar job. For those intrigued by her story and eager to learn more about her life on the high seas, Kesteloo suggests following her on TikTok for additional insights and lifestyle tips.
