So what makes it unique for asia?

Maybe the rooms are coffins and the toilets go direct to the kitchen?

[Dogbert41]

All of them?

Elon Musk could buy it for a yacht.

[crz]

Bill and Hilliary Klintoon should buy it.

They would have Bills own little honey boat and she could be the madam.

Just think. Easy way to get the scum out of DC and then sink the thing with them all on it.

The current world's largest cruise ship is just a little longer than this and holds 6900 passengers and 2300 crew. This ship crams another 2000 people into less space. I suspect that Asians might put up with those tight confines but most westerners would not.

You wouldn't get me on a ship with 11,200 combined passengers and crew. I avoid towns with that many people, there's no way I'm being crammed on a ship with that many.

Second half of proposal:

Once it’s inhabited, tow it out to international waters, and cut it loose.

[Bikkuri]

Don’t forget the 2200 crew..

[HKMk23]

Erk!

I didn’t know you could get your yacht ripped off more than once; it’s not as if it grows back.

Six trips across the Pacific by the time I was 13 years old...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow. I had about five trips across the USA by the time I was 13 and thought that was something.

[wbarmy]

That reminds me of beaches in Sierra Leone. I was told by one of my church ladies to let her do the shopping because there were two prices; the real price and the white people price.

Seattle to Yokohama.
Yokohama to Seattle

Back and forth 1951-1961 on MSTS, Military Sea Transportation System.
Troops on the bow and fan tail. Military dependents in tiny staterooms stacked five deep in the middle.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow. "staterooms" sounds elegant.

Entropy12 entering the discussion in 5,4,3,2,1 to tell you how many cruises he has gone on.

[cgbg]

Cigars are one of my hobbies, and there are many stories about cruise ship passengers docking in Caribbean destinations asking cruise staff where they can buy Cuban cigars.

The staff would steer them to shops selling fake Cubans—those shops then paid kick-backs to the crew.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Not exactly.
Bunk beds, a sink and toilet at the end of the hallway.

[neverevergiveup]

That’s when you have to run with a bear behind..

[Rebelbase]

This is horrible. We cruise 3 times a year and have never had any problems. We have seen spectacular sights all over the world and many wonderful, top performing bands and singers. And the food is prepared by award winning chefs and is to die for. For the money it is a great value.

/FR cruise freaks.

[DoodleDawg]

Nearly 4 passengers per cabin. No wonder no one wanted it, as you’ll likely get stuck with roommates that you never knew until you get into your cabin.

On the majority of cruise ships the average cabins can accommodate up to four people because they cater to families. Two beds and a couch that folds out, sometimes an upper berth. You don't wind up with people you don't know.

[George from New England]

“This is horrible. “

Just think of this when you see folks but cheap Chinese crap.
