one of the cheapest 'studios' would be usd 825,000 plus annual fees of usd 72,000
so if i bought for one year and sold for what i paid for it, the cost of a round the world cruise would be usd 72,000 for 2
the questions are these:is it reasonable to assume prices of suites stay constant?are there any more fees on top of those mentioned or are they per person?
Also are the Four Seasons Ocean residences.www.oceanresidences.com
Both have elaborate websites and beautiful ship designs (especially MAGELLAN) but if they actually get built is anyones guess.

Also you would need to complete the purchase for the exact time you wanted to board, and find a purchaser to take it off you on the day of departure. Imagine the hassle with solicitors, their fees and all the rest of it. Then there is the loss of interest on your outlay of $825,000. Some return would be nice, but with the reduction in the length of lease, not likely [will she really last 50 years?].

my numbers failed to show, so my world won't be including residensea for the forseeable future.
i know there are cheaper world cruises but they last for 90 days for so. the world takes a year to get around with days on end in port. if the lease is quite long it shouldn't devalue too much.
also do some years have higher maintenance costs than others (like a car service)?

This phenomenon is sadly not limited to "The World". It seems to be the consequence of being limited to outside cabins - the ships length is becoming the limiting parameter and the only way cabins can grow is becoming a tunnel. Very unpleasent indeed.
