Some other cruise ship news. Holy crap at the price of the one package

VANCOUVER, B.C. - The Norwegian Star cruise ship will dock in Vancouver to serve as a floating hotel during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Three-and four-night packages will include meals, city tours, airport transfers, nightly entertainment and other extras.

Package prices start at US$2,836 for two people sharing an inside stateroom and climb significantly. One four-night package in a suite with a city view costs $19,740 for two.

Guests who choose not to attend Olympics events in person can watch live satellite coverage of the Games on board.

And if they want to cut themselves off from the city entirely, that is also possible.

"Unlike other venues in Vancouver, there will be no lineups at the Norwegian Star's 13 restaurants, eight lounges, luxurious spa, indoor pool and fitness centre," said a news release.

The ship will stay in Vancouver's harbour for 20 nights during the Games, from Feb. 10 to March 2.
