Cruise Ship Condo

QUESTION: Condos that cruise?

WHAT I LEARNED: Sometimes junk mail has a humor factor.

I just got a note from a timeshare/condominium sales company about of all things - cruise ship condos. I guess I missed this new trend due to my recent flip-flop fixation.

They said that they were Cruise Ship Developers and they were doing an interesting type of development indeed. They were converting ships � big and small � into cruise ship condominiums.

Yes, that�s right - condo ships.

And if I can�t afford a premium water-view balcony unit on one of their condo ships, I might be able to swing something on a smaller vessel. I wonder how small these smaller vessels go? Do tugboats count? Houseboats? River rafts? Is there a condo-motorboat option?

And if I can�t even swing the crummiest unit on the smallest of their small vessels� well, I can buy a fractional share. Now that�s some unique cocktail party chatter - �Yes, I do own a piece of a cruise line but I don�t like to brag.�

I think I will write them a note. It will say �

I saw the Titanic and even have the t-shirt. Last week I saw Ghost Ship and had nightmare for a week. Cruise ship condo - I don�t think so!

I believe I will sit outside at night and gaze at the stars instead. I don�t need a timeshare to do that yet.
