Popular cruise line selling tree house suite for jaw-dropping price: 'Rather buy a house' (over $200k a week)

Vacationers can soon merge land and sea with a startling new tree house suite on the Royal Caribbean — as long as they cough up six figures. Online debate is already robust about the offering.

The Hero of the Seas vessel is rolling out the "Ultimate Family Treehouse" suite, which has a private whirlpool, game room and rooftop terrace.

The triple-deck suite can sleep up to 12 guests with four full bathrooms, according to the Royal Caribbean website.

The tree house can cost families over $200,000 for a week’s stay, according to the Royal Caribbean blog.

In the "r/royalcaribbean" forum on Reddit, one user shared a post about "tree house suite pricing" — sparking lots of discussion.

"Shocking to me," said one user in response. "I feel like people with this kind of money would charter a yacht instead of doing this."

Another person wrote, "Clearly, this isn’t meant for 99.99% of cruisers."

Another user said, "I’m wondering how often it will sit empty [and] what their break-even is for providing the elevated services/cleaning time, etc., vs. just letting it sit empty for a sailing."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Could get sick on the floating incubator and be quarantined the whole time. Fun for the whole family.

A couple of families from Philly could trash it in a day.

What great “experience” it would be to get ripped off like that.

There are enough filthy rich people out there, where it’ll be occupied, for sure.

The Star Wars hotel at Disney was only about $35k/week for a family of 5 and that sucker didn’t even make it to a year before they shut it down. I foresee a similar ending to this.

Better have good security, and that’s all I’m gonna say about that.

Ahh ... “Disposable Income” ... Having spent quite awhile paying off debt down to zero, I can’t even imagine getting back into that trap. Unless, as you say, I suddenly get “filty rich.” And probably not even then.

It doesn’t make sense. Just charter a yacht and avoid the masses.

I rather spend my money on something else if I had that extra spending money.
