Mario Salcedo
- ... that Mario Salcedo over a 20-year period spent about US$1.4 million to go on 1,000 cruises? Source: Andrews, Malcolm (2016-09-23). "US businessman Mario Salcedo runs his business aboard luxury liners". Port News. Archived from the original on 2016-09-25. Retrieved 2022-07-01.
The article notes: "For the past 20 years, Mario has run his investment company year-round from on board five start cruise ships, most of them from the luxury Royal Caribbean International. He reckons he's been on about 1000 cruises in that time, chalked-up some 6000 nights at sea, and spent in the vicinity of $1.4 million(US) doing so."

- Article was made today, so is new enough, and is definitely long enough (impressive single edit drop). It reads neutrally, has proper in-line citations, and the copyvio detector doesn't find anything outside of the direct quotes used in the article. The hook is short enough, interesting, and cited in-line. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review.
- Question: @Cunard: Would it be okay with you to remove the "had" from the hook? I feel like the sentence flows better without it. SilverserenC 01:32, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review and the suggestion for improving the hook, Silver seren (talk · contribs)! I've removed the "had" from the hook as I agree that the hook flows better without the "had". Cunard (talk) 08:57, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm approving ALT1 hook. The rest of the review was conducted by Cunard above. Z1720 (talk) 23:40, 23 July 2022 (UTC)- I am fine with using this hook, which is much more interesting than the one I suggested. Thank you! To clarify, the review was conducted by Silver seren, not me. Cunard (talk) 08:13, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
