How does a website that specializes in resort accommodations not understand that a 3 day / 2 night stay is not 3 days?
- Day 1: You check in at 3 PM (giving housekeeping time to prep the rooms), which is half a day.
- Day 2: You have a full day on day 2.
- Day 3: you check out at 11 AM (giving housekeeping time to prep the rooms), which is half a day.
This is a 2 night stay. So, it's comparable to a 2 night stay in a resort or a 2 night cruise trip.
So, for one person, it's a total of $3,300, which is $1,650 per night.
For five friends sharing a room for 2 nights is a total of $7,200, or $3,600 per night. And when divided by the five buddies, $750 per night.
Indeed, unlike a standard hotel room where after the 2nd person there may be a small surcharge per night, the cost includes all the food and events of the two-day LARP, which is usually charged per head. So, there's a significant extra charge per person, but, the economics of the cost of the sleeping quarters being shared gives somewhat of a break... unless they're free-loading children who aren't paying their share from their own pockets. So, there is a family penalty, but its ameliorated somewhat by the non-linear increase per person due to the room-sharing.
Adults who each pay their own way and share as many as can fit in a room get the biggest break.
If the name of the ship is the same as the Project Codename for the resort, it has been revealed already and is in the rumor tracker. The name of the project is:
Hubble
As I mentioned above, it is comparable not to a 3 night stay but a two night, which DCL doesn't do. So, figure 66% of that amount.

Now, let's build our own adventure for a 2-night event:
- Deluxe Resort room: A random day in Feb shows the monorail resort rooms at about $600. So, two nights is $1,200.
- Signature Meals with characters: Using CRT as a guide, about $60 adults (not counting alcohol purchase). So, four meals is $240
- After Hours access to SWL: Using the After Hours pricing, let's call it $100, so, $200 for two nights.
- LARPing at an average 8 hours per day. Using Escape Rooms, Murder Mystery Dinners, and TheVoid as a guide, let's say $50 an hour, or $400 day, or for two days: $800.
- Light breakfast, drinks, snacks like you find a club level rooms or a cruise ship... let's say $50/day, so, a total of $100.
Let's do this for a family of five people...
- Deluxe Resort room: A random day in Feb shows the monorail resort rooms at about $700. So, two nights is $1,400.
- Signature Meals with characters: Using CRT as a guide, about $60/$50 children (not counting alcohol purchase). So, four meals for five people is $440
- After Hours access to SWL: Using the After Hours pricing, let's call it $100, so, $200 for two nights. $1,000 for 5 people.
- LARPing at an average 8 hours per day. Using Escape Rooms, Murder Mystery Dinners, and TheVoid as a guide, let's say $50 an hour, or $2000 day for five, or for two days: $4000.
- Light breakfast, drinks, snacks like you find a club level rooms or a cruise ship... let's say $50/day, so, a total of $500.
