If it is simply economically unfeasible to return her to being an ocean liner, I wonder if someone couldn’t make a great hotel out of her?

It exists as that, today, you can call and book a room.

It is a tad problematical in some respects, in that the a/c isn’t the greatest, the plumbing fixtures are a tad dated, and the walls between cabins are from an era when people talked in hushed voices in a considerate fashion instead of wandering down long hallways flaming drunk and making all the GD noise they possibly can. You are also semi-captive and the service isn’t exactly stellar. It’s fine for the historical experience a time or two but it isn’t as comfortable as a Hyatt or whatever.

That would be interesting. Sort a permanent dock kind of thing?
