Yeah, but I'd put up with that bit of garishness in exchange for the marble turkish baths and suites where the bedrooms alone average 600 square feet. The thing is set up for about 35 guests but provides space usually given over to about 600 guests on commercial vessels. That's a lotta space. And as a charter, it's always nice to be in control of where you go and how long you stay instead of being at the mercy of some cruise director. So I can tolerate a little Christmas kitsch. (At least they didn't put in white pianos or those hideous lucite things.)

(But then, I put "ground effects" neon lighting under the Chickering. So what do I know about taste. )

Having seen "The Cat's Meow", though, about that infamous W. J. Hearst yacht party where Hearst shot the movie producer while intending to kill Charlie Chaplin, I'm not sure we ought to booze and boat. TomK might end up slightly dead.
