I would love a Harry Potter-themed Cruise ship....yes I know it's not Disney

[fairytalelover]

My son and I are really into Harry Potter. Well he got me into it (he is 10 years old). We thought it would be awesome if Universal had a cruise ship like Disney does and they would theme it Harry Potter........Anyone know if Universal has ever discussed a possibility of a ship? Although the movie is Warner Bros. but Universal has the rights for the parks...... just curious

maybe the universal boards have a rumor board????

 

[mom4fun]

Me too. Disney really messed up when they didn't try to grab onto that one.

 

[Tonka's Skipper]

Disney did, however the author wanted what amount to total control and Disney would not do it.

She then went to Uni and they reached a agreement.

I would expect a hogwarts themed hotel more likely but maybe I'm just dreaming.

The ship would keep disappearing under an invisibility cloak. Whenever something went wrong in the dining room or housekeeping, the crew would just shrug and say, "Mischief managed." The grand stair case would keep shifting, and it wouldn't be due to the ocean waves. A new way of getting seasick even when the ocean is calm?

I really hope a cruise line does a Harry Potter cruise -- would love to try it.

I'd like a Marauder's Map that showed where Mickey, et al were at all times on the ship.

Doesn't Royal have some sort of connection/contract with Universal? Maybe they would do it, one never knows......

We are going to Universal next winter and so disappointed that none of the on-site hotels have any HP theme at all. I would totally be willing to pay the money for a room just with small touches to enhance our stay. And I'm on Universal's email list for surveys and tell them every time.

Simple Answer to all things Potter J.K Rowling controls everything about it. If it hasn't been presented to her or she doesn't like it it won't happen.

We would pay a premium for that cruise. My kids are obsessed with HP!

Have you actually read the books?

 

[princessmommyx3]

My family would be the first ones in line. How amazing would that be???

Of course the ship should look like this: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Durmstrang_Ship

No Harry Potter for me

You wouldn't need luggage tags -- after you've checked in online you'd be sent a port key which will magically transport you and your luggage right to your stateroom.

No, no, no! We'd miss out on the announcement. Can't have that. They can have the luggage, though.

I was thinking more in terms of avoiding TSA security checks at the airport and the long flights. The cruise crew could still announce anyone who wanted to be announced on their way to dinner.
