Ed Reif & Sarah Kennedy's Funemployment at Sea

From Luxury Liners to Life Lessons

Chapter 1: Anchors Aweigh

Ed and Sarah didn't retire — they re-wired. They packed their bags, boarded cruise ships, and set out to work and live globally, becoming citizens of the ocean. Their journey began aboard the Queen Mary 2, sailing from Hong Kong to Southampton. The thrill of movement and the call of faraway ports replaced traditional routines.

Chapter 2: Los Angeles to London in 110 Days

Their biggest adventure? A 110-day voyage that carried them from the port of Los Angeles through the South Pacific, into Asia, along the African coast, and finally to Dover, England. Every stop was a new classroom — from the Society Islands to Mauritius, every moment was lived with wide-eyed wonder.

Chapter 3: The Art of Funemployment

Funemployment wasn't about not working; it was about meaningful work. Ed served as a Cruise Director, blending storytelling with hospitality. Sarah, a Family Medicine Nurse, focused on caring for the crew and passengers, bringing comfort and compassion to every corner of the ship. Together, they taught classes, led excursions, and spread joy on the high seas.

Before the ocean, there was Hawaii, where the Aloha spirit shaped Ed's worldview—time slowed, presence deepened, and wisdom unfolded beneath banyan trees.

Chapter 6: Living the Story

With ports in every hemisphere and stories behind every smile, Ed and Sarah turned life into a living storybook. Their blog, Hotel @nyware, captured not just where they were — but who they were becoming. From the winds of the South Pacific to the shores of Europe, their story was constantly evolving. Sarah has Ed beat with over 12 years at sea, but their greatest voyage began when they met aboard the ship.

Ed and Sarah’s favorite ship, Queen Mary 2, is the last true ocean liner, built for the open sea with timeless grandeur. Unlike modern cruise ships, it honors the golden age of transatlantic travel. As the only vessel offering regular Southampton-to-New York crossings, it keeps a historic maritime tradition alive. 🚢✨
