A couple, who had to cancel their planned cruise due to coronavirus, has decided to recreate the holiday, from the comfort of their home!
Dave and Norma Trill, from Melbourne had booked an exotic 10-day Royal Caribbean cruise around the Pacific Islands.
The pair – both 74 – were going to celebrate their 53rd wedding anniversary on the vacation, but decided to cancel it after the coronavirus outbreak.
But determined to still have a good time, they threw on their bathrobes and relaxed in their lounge with glasses of wine – as well as playing clips of the ocean on their TV.
Mr and Mrs Trill’s daughter, Jane, shared her parents’ DIY cruise on Twitter, writing, ‘Cruise cancelled? No problem.’
In the hilarious video clip, their grandson can even be heard making a foghorn sound in the background.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jane said, ‘They were supposed to be going on a 10-day cruise around the Pacific Islands next week, but unfortunately they made the difficult choice to cancel due to the coronavirus.
‘I had an idea that if I put up a video of water on their TV and they dress as though they woul be on their cruise, they may not feel so disappointed as they were really looking forward to going to celebrate their 53rd anniversary.’
She added, ‘Needless to say, we all had a chuckle making the quick video. My son even provided the ship noise using his phone while I recorded.’
