No it is not even close to LARPing. To those who do LARP it could matter that people don't understand what it is. We need to stop trying to make Fetch.... er LARP happen
Since the hotel isn't only for LARPing I guess Disney doesn't have to worry then? If people want to LARP and want anything close to that experience I guess they either do this or not. (just like anybody else)
From the Galactic Starcruiser FAQs:
Q. Can I dress up in costume during my
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage?
A. Absolutely, what you wear is part of the fun.
Throughout your
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage, you are encouraged to don your galactic best.
You are a character in the story, so we invite you to dress the part. If you wish to participate, you can even show off your look during the Outer Rim Regalia event. Clothes from your home planet are also welcome.
If your wardrobe is currently limited to a single planet,
Star Wars galaxy apparel is
available in-advance from shopDisney. Galactic attire is also available for purchase at the
Halcyon starcruiser’s stylish boutique, The Chandrila Collection.
Q. Is
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser a hotel?
A.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is much more than a hotel—
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is an entirely new vacation experience:
a 2-night, immersive adventure where you choose your own path within an epic Star Wars story.
Throughout your voyage, you’re encouraged to take part in the intrigue, mystery and adventure. There’s plenty to explore onboard the glamorous starcruiser with its themed
accommodations, amazing
activities and colorful
cuisine from all over the
Star Wars galaxy. Plus, you’ll visit planet Batuu during a daytime excursion to
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Your
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser vacation package includes all of this and so much more!
Again, on the LARP/"It's not a LARP" issue, all of the information Disney has put out falls pretty clear on the LARP side of things.
