This is terrible, Scientology is not a church and shouldn't be labeled as such, it is a classic cult.

The "religious" affiliation aside, I still like to try to stay abreast of the ship's status...and to that end, I found this video online. It shows some good shots for the ship's refurbished interior.

beautiful interiors...more like a private yacht, but it definitely shows they have the money to pour into this ship. hopefully one day it will be sold to a cruise line and we can experience the ex: Boheme again, but with this well designed interior minus a few rooms.

I am sure that The Peace Boat would love to get their HANDS ON THIS SHIP. If they find a problem, they'll simply dump her to the scrappers like they did to the SS Oceanic.
