Cruise vacation in living room

Jane Trill’s parents, Norma and Dave who were about to celebrate their 53 years of togetherness on a 10-day cruise to the Pacific Islands, recreated the beautiful experience from the comfort of their own living room. Jane who wanted to cheer her parents amid such hustle and bustle, simulated the trip using a video of an ocean and sound of a cruise on the television screen. 

Jane shared a video of the experience on her Twitter handle where her parents can be seen chilling in bathrobes on reclining lounge chairs while sipping wine from their glasses.
