Werner posted some information on the Cruise board and it looked kindof interesting, as I'd not seen anything like it before.
There's a company that is selling cruise ship timeshares www.cruiseshares.com
When you look at their prices and compare with DVCs price/per point, an ownership interest that allowed 2 people to cruise for 7 days would require 360 points for a Cat "A" cabin. Compare that with the 250-300 points per adult needed for a Cat 4, 7 Day cruise with DCL.
A minimum purchase of 150 points would let 2 people cruise in a Cat 11 cabin for 7 days.
Interestingly enough, maintance costs for 2 people looks like it would run between $3 to $4/point - which is typical of existing DVC resorts.
Looks to me like we should be lobbying DVD to purchase/build a ship that can become a DVC "resort" and sell ownership interests in it. I know we'd probably add on some points just for that.
