Whom does it cost $100K per week...each passenger?

 

[TUGBrian]

i think it was the price for that ridiculous cabin (had 2 or 3 stories, and a giant slide)

 

[Venter]

Do you get a butler for that $100k?

You should received a dedicated butler and all your meals should be served in your suite.

We have no desire to sail on a ship that large. The Disney Magic was plenty big enough for us!

We have no desire to sail on a ship that large....

I concur. Those mega-ships, while entertaining, hardly seem like sailing to me.
You may as well stay on land and "cruise" the strip or streets of NYC.

A honest opinion here - the size isn't an issue for me, the larger the better. However the large price that goes with the large ships I don;t like. The higher the value (lower price, same or better level of service ) is what floats my boat.

I can't see the appeal of a huge ship. If someone will pay for the enormous suite for me I'm willing to give it a try. Otherwise I prefer the more intimate experiences of a smaller ship.

Once again, it proves that there are a ton of people with travel budgets equal to the GNP of Rhode Island.
