Hi Sam,

This has been around for many years. There are not any plans to
actually build it.


Though they WILL be happy to take any investor dollars which people would
like to send.

There does exist a traveling "condo" ship.

sister ship is under plans/in construction.

Hi,

You are correct that the World of ResidenSea exists. I have been on
her several times as well as my clients. Since she was a financial
disaster, it remains to be seen whether another one is ever built.

That does not correspond to what I read.

IIRC shortly after she went to sea, the Norwegians involved
announced a second ship in construction.

Could be misinfo but what is a sea story among clients.

The economic model made sense...on paper. In practice, too many guests
****ed off the owners who bought it lock, stock and hull.

So you are saying that the condos used as tourist sites were a
pain so the condo owners purchased the ownership of the ship
from the builders (which I saw).

Sounds like the condo did not want to be a hotel; nothing that
says that the "real estate" project was a failure.

The prospects for building a second condo are still there. Just
keep the low rent crowd off the decks.
