everybody it's Bruce here with traveling with Bruce welcome to my video today's
video is talking about why those of us who don't have the money can afford to
go on a cruise it's because of the folks are in these upper units if take a look
at the top of this ship here the Norwegian epic that is the Haven Club up
there and it's because of those good folks up there
it makes cruising for the rest of us a little more affordable let me tell you
what I mean take a look here at these rooms here's a beautiful suite with a
circular bed thing that the balcony and a great view you're talking about a room
here that would run you as much as five times what you would pay for a balcony
room what do you get for that now we get the nice room you get this feature right
here your own private courtyard with your own pool your own jacuzzi area
private showers your cabanas loungers butler service concierge service your
private restaurant that you get to go to that the rest of us don't in effect it's
a private area on top of the ship for probably one to three hundred people
depending on the size of the ship here's another example of high living on the
MSC fantasia those top couple of floors up there to top three levels that is
known as the MSC yacht club and if you've got a unit up here you get
private access to this area here with the pool and these loungers here again
maybe 200 250 people will use this area but they will pay upwards of five times
what we will pay on average to be here in some cases here's the kind of Suites
you can get up to and these Suites can be larger than this don't be surprised
if some folks are paying three to six thousand a week for the access to this
exclusive area it's kind of like being on a high-end yacht but on a giant
cruise ship the beauty of it for these folks who are here is that they get to
enjoy all the amenities that you and I get to enjoy they get to see all the
shows they go to casino they munch on the buffet if they want they
can go to the pools down below if they have family and friends who are there
they can go visit them there but this private pool this is for the Yacht Club
on land finally we have Royal Caribbean here's an example of the laces of the
Seas the harmony of the Seas you'll notice on the top of that ship there is
a couple of levels exclusively for the Royal Suites these are the ones that are
the double-decker rooms these are the rooms that are two storeys tall
have a fantastic view they come with butler service they come with the
concierge and you will pay top dollar some of these units here in the
two-story Suites will run $40,000 a week here's an example of that kind of a room
this is a top dollar unit you're talking about five or six thousand dollars a day
for this kind of opulence you're going to have top-notch food top-notch service
you can dine on your own private patio with your own Butler to take care of you
sit on the back on one of these corner units and enjoy the wonderful view and
the scenery there is an idea of what is happening in the cruise ship world today
new ships are being built with these kinds of amenities and these kinds of
added on sweets to all new cruise ships because cruise lines have figured out
that only 2 to 5% of the folks who are on the ship rent a unit like this but
they can cover up the 30% of all the costs and that helps the rest of us
afford a nice room on a cruise ship there you go I hope you enjoyed this
