Maybe they should have investigated the potential possibility of this occuring?

Caveat emptor.

It's always good to see there are some problems I will never confront.

Reed says the residents committee hopes to price cruises from $1,900 to $3,100 a day

Just a littttttle over my budget range.

Live on a cruise ship?

No thanks. At any price.

What's the average lifespan for a cruise ship, 20 years?

Why buy a condo that will do nothing but depreciate as the ship ages?

Except for some oddities like the cruise schedule, these are the same problems condos face everywhere. Each is its own little community, and must agree on its own set of rules.

for $2 million you can get a nice floating condo, all to your self. A fool and his money.

Apartment owner Athena Demartini, an Australian psychic who goes by the name Starwoman

Shouldn't she have "seen" the problems coming:)

Ice field? In a cruise ship? Some people tempt fate. These people just go up and slap it around some.

The original plan for this vessel was to have made her a mammoth mega-ship, complete with multi-level shopping and office malls, helipads, green spaces - literally a floating city. The architects' renderings were initially, well, astonishing. And the original itineraries did show long stays in ports around the world. No doubt many of the current owners bought in when those were the plans.

What they now have are nice suites on a boat the size of a typical Holland America ship - nice ship, but certainly nowhere near the colossal scale first put on paper. All of the new Princess and RCI ships are much larger, though devoted 100% to transient pax.

No wonder they're p.o.'d!

The only way I'd see this ship is if I got kidnapped, chained to a wooden bench and told by some guy with a whip to "row!"

Sounds a lot like the Freedom Ship except much smaller.

Give that thing a look. They reckon to have an airport on the roof. Like a floating city.

There goes the neighborhood (slowly into the sunset). Sigh.

Mr. Beckwith recalls a couple who boarded in San Francisco one morning and got so drunk by nightfall that the husband fell down the stairs.

LOL

OK, I want to know which FreeRepublic moderator this was.
