    I can’t believe they went so far as to take people’s money without even having a ship! How can they possibly plan this and charge people for it if they don’t even know for certain what ship they’ll be doing this with, what the capacity will be, what the accommodations will be like, what kind of staff it can fit, or even if the ship is safe… I mean, the actual ship is kind of an enormous part of this. THE MOST important part. How can they make any kind of promises to anyone without the ship in hand?

      Its not that crazy - there are tons of cruise ships headed for the scrapyard after the pandemic. I would imagine they had a specific ship on "tender" and it was good enough for them to advertise. From the sound of it they were getting funding through UAE Sovereign Wealth fund or similar and it fell through. (they are a BIG lender for large projects in the region)
      Do a search on "Cruise Ships for Sale" -- there is one that was just refurbished in 2018 for 22M (1000 passenger) Another newer 2400 passenger vessel for 125M. And these are the publicly listed ones...

I honestly think it had something to do with the food being much fresher at the beginning of the cruise. I really think the food started to go bad within the last few days of the cruise so I can't imagine what it would be like being on a cruise for 3 years straight with the food and the storage and how much they have to replenish, restock, etc. How are they going to keep it all fresh constantly without people getting sick?

    Not a single person mentioned how this trip would be literally impossible.
    It would be a logistical nightmare having every major dock in the world being able to accommodate a cruise ship docking on any notice and meeting its demands whether it be maintenance, resupply for guests, emergency, docking etc. This is all considering the port will clear them to dock for multiple days and weeks with conflict or scheduling problems. Not only that they are subject to border patrol, customs, politics that will further derail plans. Weather, medical, detours, and lengthy ship repair would seriously hamper any plans. Imagine a normal major or minor repair, it may require weeks or months and the unloading of passengers throughout the year for a ship on extreme high volume duty... Just millions of reasons why it's literally impossible. The don't have a boat being one of them!

      State and Government PENSIONS pay out BIG TIME. They are JACKPOTs wrapped up in winning Lotto tickets. That is what you are looking at really. I know NY State teachers who have $60,000.00 to $90,000.00 a year pensions (and they are ALL under 60 years old) . I barely live on $30,000.00 a year.

      Not very kind to say. You need to go on a cruise.
      May I suggest the Lusitania.

    Wouldn’t it have made more sense to have the ship first before selling tickets?
