Meeting New Passengers
On these new voyages, Ed and Mabel found themselves meeting other travelers who were curious about their story. They began sharing bits of their decade-long journey, though they left out the part about staying aboard without detection. Fellow passengers marveled at their experiences, and some even joked about trying to do the same. Ed and Mabel laughed, knowing the truth of how much planning and stealth had gone into their hidden life aboard the Ocean Serenity.
Reflecting on Their Legacy
As they grew older, Ed and Mabel often talked about the legacy of their unusual adventure. They wondered if others would ever attempt to live aboard a cruise ship in secret like they had. The world had become more connected and monitored since they started their journey, making it harder to pull off such a feat. Still, they took pride in having done something so daring, something that gave them stories to tell for the rest of their lives.
