Stats on Disney Magic?

[jfs9900]

Was trying to fill out the Panama Canal toll calculator.Panama Canal toll calculator and I don't know the ships "PC / UMS (Tons)" or the ships beam.

Anyone have this information?!?!?! Would like to know how much it would cost for Disney to cross the canal!

Jfs9900--

Wow. How cool is that! Would you mind posting the cost when you have it calculated?

Thanks!

 

[myfairygodmother]

the ship's beam is 106 feet

 

[myfairygodmother]

the tonnage is 83,000 but I don't know if that would be the displacement tonnage or the PC/UMS tonnage

I believe the UMS tonnage is 85,000.

See:

So the cost to transit the canal is (if the calculator is correct):

$253,647.54 Laden

plus the additional expenses of:

Launch Hire $500.00
Communications $100.00
fumigation $350.00

TOTAL: $254,597.54

Wow! That seemed like a lot of money until I figured out how much Disney probably stands to make on the repositioning cruise fares alone.

Figure a min of $1400 per person, times a minimum of two people per stateroom, times 875 staterooms...

$1400 X 2 X 875 = $2,450,000!

And that's the minimum! A lot, if not most, people will be paying more than $1400 fare and there will be more than 1750 people onboard.

So, I guess the cost of the canal isn't too bad. Although I'm sure that it accounts for some of the fare we're paying out.
