Cruising 365 days/yr

[JTJ]

The World pulled in yesterday, saw it this morning it's berthed by the sterling casino ship. The paper also had a map of where its been since 1/05, unbeliveable the places and number of stops. Must be nice...

Great concept for seeing the world. However, I may even get tired of cruising! The big drawback...I will have to wish...can't afford to pay!

Despite being very posh, I'll bet the World of Residensea doesn't have a waterfall in the men's room like the Voyager....:rolleyes:

Since it's staying almost a week I think what it shows is that PC is becoming a real cruse ship stop. There are also plans to make the immediate area more tourist friendly, this is from the local paper:

"Gateway is proposing a $150 million cruise-ship-themed project that includes a 370-room resort, spa, lagoon to rehabilitate injured sea life like dolphins, turtles and manatees, and a convention center with up to 60,000 square feet of space.

 

Ron Jon's $147 million project would include a 400-room hotel with 20,000 square feet of conference space, a 10-acre Ron Jon water- and surf-park attraction, and a new 60,000 square-foot, two-level Ron Jon flagship store with a "unique architectural design."
