You Can Be a Cruise Ship Owner Even If You Are Not Rich

Unlike fractional proprietary of aircraft and houseboats, fractional owners of a cruise ship can all use the ship simultaneously. There is abundance of room for you and the other owners to live on the ship any time you want, or all the time. You can use it as a full-time residence, and so can the other co-owners.

The first definite advantage of shared proprietary is acquisition cost. There are many cruise ships on the market in all price ranges, sizes, ages, and conditions. There are many smaller and older cruise ships available for less than one million dollars. At the lower end, some smaller cruise ships in fair condition can be acquired for about 0,000. At the highest end, the biggest new mega cruise ships now cost about 0 million to build.

Do the math. If one hundred buyers pool resources in transfer for a percentage of ship ownership, the acquisition cost will be divided by that same number. One percent proprietary of a 0,000 cruise ship would cost a mere 00 for ship acquisition. At the other end of the scale, one percent proprietary of a brand new mega cruise ship would cost five million dollars.

How to Become Smarter Overview

This text describes techniques for improving mental abilities. Some of the things
it can help you to achieve include the following:
  • Depending on circumstances, use different lifestyles that improve one or
    another mental function.
  • Experience euphoria without drugs and come up with new ideas, when
    needed.
  • Slow down and prevent yourself from making rash, impulsive decisions,
    when necessary.
  • Sharpen your wit, become more talkative, and entertain people.
  • When necessary, lower your mood and increase emotional tension, which
    can reduce procrastination.
  • Increase your score on intelligence or general aptitude tests.
  • Concentrate on reading and writing for many hours daily.
  • Increase your grade point average if you are a student or improve your job
    productivity if you are a knowledge worker.
  • Get along with people and live without arguments and conflicts.
     The proposed methods are brief cooling or heating of the body (water thera-
py) and three different "smart diets," each suitable for a different type of task.
The text also describes a "depressant diet," which is not a smart diet but can im-
prove self-control and sleep. Readers don't need to use the strict diets on a per-
manent basis and the book recommends the conventional food pyramid most of
the time. The text also discusses several useful social skills and studying/writing
techniques as well as the role of luck in personal achievement.
     Most authors in this field will tell you that you should read more books, solve
mental puzzles, buy their nutritional supplements, sleep well, and exercise in or-
der to get smarter. In contrast, this book is proposing moderately cold hydrother-
apy and a smart diet (which involves avoiding all dietary supplements). To give
another example, most books on anger management say that you should try to
change your thinking in order to overcome anger, while this book suggests hot
hydrotherapy and the exclusion of certain foods from your diet. The main focus of
discussion in this text is on changing the biological workings of the brain, not on
pop psychology. In particular, the book describes various combinations of diets
and hydrotherapy that have the following effects: sedative/sleep-promoting,
stimulant/wakefulness-promoting, attention-enhancing, antianxiety, antidepres-
sant, mood-stabilizing (mood-lowering), and euphoriant. In addition, the book
presents existing scientific evidence of pain-reducing, fever-reducing, anti-
fatigue, immunostimulatory, antinausea, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory
effects of hydrotherapy. The text also discusses the possible side effects of the
diets and hydrotherapy.
     Despite its technical content, the book is written in an accessible language and
has an informative summary for each chapter and a list of key points at the end
of each section. The book supports most of the claims in the bulleted list above
with a theory and the author's personal experience (a healthy subject). Previously
published scientific studies directly support about a half of these claims, including
the claim about intelligence tests. The author's academic transcripts and test
scores have been documented and can be verified independently.

There are some other figures that must be tabulated into the total cost of ownership. Acquisition cost is first and foremost. The next figure is the cost to put the ship in service. On an older ship this cost may be higher than the acquisition cost. On the other hand, the cost to put a ship into aid can be much lower if you were to get a good deal on a ship that already meets the international standards for ship safety, especially Solas (Safety of Life at Sea). Maintaining yielding with chapter Ii Solas 74 amendments is cost prohibitive for some older ships and they are typically scrapped instead of being refurbished at great expense. There is a very leading Solas implementation date arrival up on January 10, 2010. On that date all industrial international ships will be required to be in yielding with the new fire security codes. The most leading new codes deal with the use of combustible materials in the ship. It will be expensive to replace all combustible materials in ships with non-combustible or flame defiant Solas compliant materials that meet the new security standards. This will ensue in many ships being sold for scrap metal.

The looming Solas 2010 implementation date offers both perils and opportunities. The biggest peril is the possibility that the price to bring a ship into full yielding with international standards will be greater than the value of the ship. However, there is a silver lining in this cloud. This pending Solas implementation date has already started to show up as a former factor in the request and selling prices of ships on the market today.

Solas 2010 also offers a vast occasion for those who may prefer to have a very large houseboat instead of a industrial ship. Ships that are not in yielding with Solas 2010 are now selling for a song (inexpensively). A cruise ship can no ifs ands or buts be converted into a megayacht with the stroke of a pen. privately owned yachts, not in industrial service, and not carrying passengers or cargo for hire are exempt from many of the Solas requirements. Operating costs are also lower for a incommunicable yacht. It cost less to register, flag, and insure a incommunicable yacht. Megayachts can be flagged and classified for unlimited service. That means that a megayacht can go practically anywhere you want it to go. There is one major drawback to registering a cruise ship as a incommunicable yacht. You cannot use the yacht commercially. This cuts off a potential revenue source.

There are many decent cruise ships for sale at prices of less than one million dollars that would make good incommunicable megayachts. For example, take the 'Vergina Sky' is a ship that I have personally inspected and so I can talk first hand about it. The request price was 0,000. Here are the specifics of the ship in a nutshell:

Current Name: Vergina Sky

Ship Details: Built: 1971 in Japan - totally rebuilt 1992 in Greece

Dimensions: Loa 97.8m x Lbp 82m x beam 14.6m x draft 4.49m Dwt: 500 on 4,49 Gt/Nt: 4,668 / 1,717

Description: Pielstick 2 x 8400bhp, twin screw, bow thruster, 3 x 500kw generators, 16 knots, 2 saloons, restaurant, 3 bars, casino, duty free shop, disco, swimming pool, 120 cabins for 318 guests. Lying Greece

My Comments after inspecting the ship

This is a well built limited 'Pocket Cruiser.' At just over 320' in length overall, it is a small cruise ship. Many experienced cruise passengers prefer smaller more intimate cruise ships for a range of reasons. This ship can go places where the big cruise ships cannot reach, such as shallow draft ports and even many rivers. It has an omni-directional bow thruster and can turn on a dime (relatively speaking of course). I have carefully examined this ship from the motor log to the ultrasound hull report. This is a sound and safe limited cruise ship. It is also a very fuel productive and economical ship. My first time on this ship was in the middle of the summer in Greece when it was very hot outside. The ship is fully air conditioned and it was cool and comfortable inside the ship. I checked the motor room to see how many generators were running. I am happy to report that all the galvanic and air-conditioning requirements can be met by running just one of the three Daihatsu generators. These generators are very economical to operate in terms of fuel consumption and maintenance.

I was able to negotiate with the owner, John Kosmas and get some concessions. I got the price down to 0,000. And at that price, he agreed to bring the ship into yielding with Solas 2005 and also to consist of new paint topside. The ship was fairly well furnished even along with bed linen, but the ship had been laid up for years. Its most recent aid was in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Cruise ships that trade exclusively in the Mediterranean and Black Seas tend to have smaller cabins and fewer amenities than the typical cruise ships that frequent the Caribbean. The lowest line is that this ship was an economy model, not a luxury model. When I was inspecting the motor room, I asked for the motor log. When I opened it I noticed all the entries were in Greek. I was able to discern some dates and other data that told me when the ship was last in service, but I could not read the Greek entries so I handed the motor log back to the ship owner, and told him "It's all Greek to me." Being Greek, Mr. Kosmas failed to find the humor in that.

Let's look at the numbers on this ship. 100% of the acquisition cost would have been 0,000. 1% thus = 00. One hundred buyers could own one percent each. There are 120 cabins so each co-owner could have a incommunicable cabin with 20 cabins left over. However, these cabins are a bit on the small side. Every cabin does have a bath and shower, but the size is just too small to be comfortable for most people, especially if the owners intend to live onboard full time. On a ship this size I would propose that there be no more than 60 joint owners so each can have two cabins and will have the choice of converting those two cabins into a two room suite. To keep the numbers simple lets say that this ship has 50 buyers who each buy 2% of the ship. Buy in cost per owner would then be ,000. If there were only ten buyers, then the acquisition cost per buyer would be ,000. ,000 will not buy much of a house on land, but on this ship it would buy 10% of a ship like the Vergina Sky and twelve cabins that could be converted into a fairly large home.

At the economy end of the scale, a co owner could buy 1% of an economical cruise ship for about 00. any way it is not critical for all co owners to have equal shares in the ship. proprietary can no ifs ands or buts be divided up into 1% increments. If one buyer wanted 5%, then his cost of acquisition would be ,000. He would be entitled to 5% of the ship's cabins, and would have five votes on operations and management of the ship, such as itinerary planning.

Before becoming a joint owner, it would be imperative to find other people who have similar goals. I would propose composing a preliminary Dccr (Declaration Of
Covenants, Conditions And Restrictions). You can do this before you even shop for a ship. Write your version of how you envision the shared proprietary of a cruise ship as it should be. Then see if you can find some people who agree with your goals and your Dccr, branch to some revisions and concessions to adapt other joint owners.

Step One: Determine if you and your family have the desire and financial potential to come to be joint cruise ship (or megayacht) owners.

Step Two: Find others who agree with your plan for shared proprietary of a ship.

Step Three: Shop for a ship. This is the fun part.

Step Four: Buy a ship.

Step Five: Put the ship into service.

Even if you are not rich, you can afford to jointly own a cruise ship. But then comes the next logical question: Why would you or anything want to live on a cruise ship? Who would this be favorable for?

If you are retired or otherwise have a stable revenue from a trustworthy source you probably can afford to be a cruise ship co-owner and live full-time onboard a cruise ship. If you work in a field where you can work from home online, then you too can probably afford to come to be a co-owner of a cruise ship. Most contemporary ships have satellite Internet aid available 24-7.

Operating a cruise ship is expensive. The expenses consist of the cost of fuel, labor, maintenance, repairs, spares, food, port charges, insurance, technical management, shore management, registration, and the other costs of operating the ship. At first discern these costs may seem expensive, but in reality the cost of living at sea is no ifs ands or buts a deal inspecting what you get based upon what you pay. The best value does not always translate to the cheapest price. If the ship is well managed, the management will seek the highest potential goods, services, and labor at the very best global value. If the owners are dissatisfied with whether technical or shore management, they replace them.

If there are many other co-owners of the ship to split the operating expenses of the ship, it can be affordable for those with a moderate level of income, such as a relinquishment check. I do have definite operating cost figures but I won't bore you with that data. The lowest line is that it would not be prohibitively expensive for a middle-class midpoint someone to be able to afford to own a fraction of a cruise ship and be able to afford to live on the cruise ship full-time if they elect to do so.

For comparison purposes it is great that you have expenses in land based housing too. Those expenses consist of asset taxes, homeowners insurance, maintenance and repairs, yard care, and utilities. Additionally you have transportation costs and of policy food costs. Most people also spend money on entertainment too. When these expenses are added up the maintenance fees for living aboard a ship are comparable.

There are no ifs ands or buts some savings resulting from living aboard a ship. The ship's menagerial chef buys food and kitchen supplies in bulk for the ship and can get good prices than the midpoint shopper. Other savings ensue from the large freezers and the mobility of the ship giving the food aid management the potential to stock up on supplies in countries where prices are low. Some crew and owners may pick to fish for leisure. This can supply some fresh food at even lower costs to the owners. Labor savings are realized when the crew is hired based upon the best global labor rates. The laws of supply and request drive prices down in some places in the world. permissible ship management can capitalize on these disparities. All the savings would be passed on to the cabin owners resulting in an economical cost of living similar to what you could expect to spend with a conventional home. Ship management should have accounting transparency will all books (financial records) open and available for any owner to inspect. Also ship management should submit all financial records regular to an covering auditor for the peace of mind of the owners. anyone in the chain who spends any of the ship's operational funds should also be periodically audited. For example, a good way to audit the menagerial chef would be for one or more of the live-aboard co-owners of the ship to go to the food market district of each port of call and they should try to haggle and get a good price for the same food than the price the menagerial chef was able to acquire. If the menagerial chef cannot find good deals than the ship's co-owners, then the menagerial chef should be given his walking papers. The menagerial chef position is a vital position on a cruise ship. This is a position of trust because he will bill the food he buys to the ship. He must never be tempted to accept bribes from vendors or suppliers. Therefore, he should know that he will be routinely audited and any substandard performance will ensue in termination of his employment.

The biggest value of all onboard cruise ship is in labor costs. The good cruise ships tend to be labor intensive, providing passengers with unrelenting attentiveness and extravagant pampering. The hotel staff on all cruise ships provides the basic services along with food preparing and serving, laundry, cabin stewarding, entertainment, casino operation, attractiveness shop operations, This is one area where I would prefer to not scrimp because of the very good value in these services due to the low cost of international labor. I would prefer to go beyond the level that most cruise ships go in the area of spas. Land based luxury and specialty resort spas are very expensive, but the exact same level of service, professionalism, skill, and treatments can be in case,granted on a cruise ship at highly low cost. Labor is the key and the former fancy for most of the price of spas. Labor is a vast value on a cruise ship because the cruise ship managers can pick workers from the global marketplace where it is easy to get the best value for the money.

Spas

Spa treatment is customized for each client. Spas ordinarily offer services such as:

Soothing massage therapies, skin and body treatments drawing from European and Eastern principles, specialist hair and nail services, and a full menu of therapeutic treatments utilizing a deep-cleansing facial at the start of the program, as well as a series of detoxification and contouring wraps, lypo-reduction wrap, as well as marine mud and herb wraps. Massage Therapies including: Swedish Massage, Shiatsu Massage, Deep Tissue Treatment, Maternity Massage, Therapeutic Foot Massage (Reflexology), French Hydrotherapy Massage.

The healing therapies consist of a range of massages, reflexology, facials, firming and many other body treatments. Plus a wide range of services and wellness programs specially designed to meet the individual's needs and desires. A full aid salon offers all manner of hair treatments (including a certified colorist), as well as a range of manicures, pedicures, and 'facelifts' for your hands. Allembracing skin care includes: Age management Therapies including, Glycolic Facial, Anti-Aging Facial Peel, Microdermabrasion; Facials including: Aromaplasty Facial, Teen Facial, Gentleman's Facial, Nutrisource Facial, Regulating Acne Facial, Vitamin "C" Skin renovation Facial; Body Treatments including: Decleor Sauna Mask, French Hydrotherapy Massage, Andromeda Salt Glow, Mummy Mud Mask, Seaweed Body Wrap, Safe Sun Treatment, Herbal Wrap; as well as varied hair and nail treatments.

Additionally, spas also can facilitate weight discount programs, and even administer corporeal therapy. In short, you can be treated like a king, on the funds of a pauper.

Labor Costs - International competition provides the most value to the ship owners.

On paper it seems to make good sense to man the ship with a Philippine crew. I love the Philippines. I have been there several times. English is still widely spoken and usually spoken quite well. The people are usually amiable and happy to see foreign tourists. A large percentage of ships worldwide are manned by crews from the Philippines. The Philippine government has a pretty good structure and theory to facilitate the export of Philippine labor. In spite of how animated it seems on paper, I would propose Not hiring a crew from the Philippines. Philippine workers tend to be envious of others, and especially of everybody else's wages. They tend to think they are getting the raw end of the deal. It is rare to find a Filipino who is happy with his employment. While I am sure there are many good employees from the Philippines, there are more who are dissatisfied than satisfied with their employment. There seems to be a cultural anomaly in the Philippines where people feel that employers are bad guys. I would hesitate to propose a crew from the Philippines in spite of the apparent advantages on paper.

My advice (for what it is worth)

I do know something about what I am writing about here. I am the old President of Adventure Spa Cruise. My advice is not just uninformed ranting. Back to the point now, the second best manning nation for a ship is India. I highly propose India for the healing staff and the whole hotel staff, along with the spa, and every other position except the deck and engineering. The labor costs in India are very attractive. I would also propose using an Indian based manning agency. It is best if the ship's owners do not have to deal with every employee issue or concern. The manning agency takes the pressure off the ship's management, and their aid is very reasonable. Indian employees tend to make good employees than do Filipinos. Indians also speak English, albeit not quite as well as Filipinos. I know Americans tend to get all worked up when someone uses a broad brush to paint an whole ethnicity. I love the people from the Philippines, but as employees they tend to be more problematic than do Indian employees. I comprehend that this statement is politically incorrect, and these days that might get me thrown in jail. I usually do not worry so much about being politically correct. I call it the way I see I and I let the cards fall where they may, and hope I can stay out of jail for speaking my mind.

All deck and engineering positions should be filled with an all Ukrainian crew. The ship will comprehend the most value for the money with Ukrainian deck and engineering staff. The Ukraine has a long marine history and tradition. marine training and standards in the Ukraine are among the best in the world. Ukrainian deck and engineering staff are as good as or good than any other, but the cost of their labor is a very good value. The labor for deck officer and engineering staff are governed by international agreements, along with Stcw (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers).

Putting a cruise ship into service

After acquiring the ship, it will want some more venture to put it into service. At this point the joint owners will need to reach some agreements on many points. The cost of putting a cruise ship into aid as a megayacht (very large incommunicable yacht) is much less than putting the ship into industrial service. However, if you can afford to buy a ship can no ifs ands or buts meet Solas 2010 requirements, and can afford to flag and register it as a industrial ship then you can use the ship commercially to yield revenue and Roi (return on investment).

There are many marketing options for a industrial cruise ship. If the owners use no more than half the cabins, then that will leave adequate means to yield adequate revenue to at least pay for operating costs, and maybe yield a behalf above operating costs. I will just briefly touch on some of the options available for marketing cruise ship capacity.

1. Conventional cruises. There is a trade-off here. You can yield revenue by providing conventional cruises. This will want that the ship have an itinerary that suits the industrial cruising market.

2. Freight and cargo. Some cruise ships have adequate cargo capacity to yield some revenue by booking freight.

3. Assisted living. A cruise ship is well great for assisted living, along with crew and facilities. The going rate for assisted living in the midpoint city in America is higher than the midpoint cost of a cruise of the same duration.

4. Timeshares. This is an choice not available to conventional cruise ship operators but could be facilitated if your co-owners agree to this type of marketing to fill cabins not used by co-owners. I will not go into the figures here, but timeshares tend to be high behalf sales. There is a good occasion that if the joint owners use no more than half the ship's cabins for their own personal use, the remaining cabins could no ifs ands or buts yield more than the total whole all the joint owners combined have invested.

Ships that would no ifs ands or buts meet Solas 2010 tend to cost a bit more money to buy up front, and cost more to put into service. So I will give you integrate of examples.

My personal estimation of the Orient Venus

It is a late model and beautiful ship. It has many highly desirable attributes for a residential ship. It is a high end luxury cruise ship with an extraordinarily high tonnage to passenger ratio. This is very leading for a residential ship. More living room and more space per passenger is far more critical for a residential ship than for a conventional cruise ship. When passengers are only on a ship for a short time, they can tolerate cramped living quarters, but when they live year-round on a ship, the extra space is quite valuable. The owners have been trying to sell this ship for ,000,000. That may seem like a high price, but when you divide it by the whole of cabins (195) the request price per cabin is 2,564. This price is in line with what you would expect to pay for a condominium. The last word I got from the owners is that they will sell the ship for ,000,000 now (,307 per cabin). The cabins are all "outside" cabins and are large. The ship can adapt 606 passengers and a crew of 120, for a total of 726 people.

Several ship brokers have this ship listed. I usually do not talk to ship brokers. I prefer to talk directly with the ship owners. I am in caress with the owners of the Orient Venus. I could probably get this stunningly beautiful ship for less than ,000,000 today, and get some concessions and extras thrown in to boot.

Another example of a high end ship that would make do well as a industrial cruise ship, plus adapt a hundred or so full-time live aboard co-owners is the Dream Princess, originally named Song of Norway.

The request price on this ship is million Usd. Divide the request price by the whole of cabins and the midpoint cost per cabin would be ,620. Of policy some cabins are good than others so co-owners would have to agree of the shared usage before according to the purchase.

I have some bad news for the ship owners and some good news for you. This ship will not sell for the request price.

Fuel

Ship fuel is economy than automobile fuel for a few reasons. There are no road taxes on ship fuel of policy and also it is different fuel. Ships main engines usually run on Ifo180 or Ifo380. Generator engines tend to be more finicky and ordinarily want diesel (Mdo), which is still economy than automotive diesel. Ifo 180 and 380 costs much less than Mdo, usually about half the price. Ships consume a lot of fuel. So fuel cost is a major concern. I have some suggestions. If I were a co-owner of a ship I would be willing to invest a limited more in the ship to growth fuel efficiency, and thus lower operating costs. There are many things that can be done to growth fuel efficiency. I would start with hull resistance. There is a new silicone-based paint from International Paints that when applied to the hull reduces whole of resistance in the water sufficiently to ensue in a 3 to 5% decrease in fuel consumption. A similar coating for the propellers also has been proven to growth fuel efficiency.
In expanding to hull and prop coatings, there is an even more promising way to accomplish dramatic fuel savings.

There is a business called Kiteship that has advanced and produces kites for racing sailboats. These pilotage kites do not want a mast. The kites fly high above the vessel, attached by cable and controlled from the vessel. Dave Culp of Kiteship has done a technical feasibility study on fitting a very large kite onto a conventional cruise ship. This would dramatically sacrifice fuel consumption. It would change a fuel guzzler to a "green machine." This is tantamount to converting a powerboat into a sail boat. The develop of a cruise ship limits the whole of sail that a conventional ship can safely accommodate. A cruise ship lacks the ballast of a sail boat. If used in expanding to the main engine(s) the kite will growth fuel efficiency. If the kite is used to pull the ship with the main engines shut down the ship's speed will be reduced substantially. However, in this case, not only would the ship save Ifo (main motor fuel) but also save Mdo (generator motor fuel). If the kite were pulling the ship unassisted by the ship's engines, then the propellers could be used to weighty the ship's generators without firing up the diesel generator engines. Even if the ship were traveling very slowly in the water, the propellers would turn in reverse if freed from the main engines. This is a very simple and easy task for the ship's engineer to accomplish. In other words, the ship can be pulled by the kite, and that petition will push the ship's propellers providing power to yield electricity and power the air-conditioning without using any fuel. The trade-off is a loss of speed and also some tacking is required, supplementary reducing actual speed. What's the rush? Why not go for maximum fuel savings? The salient point is that a high flying large kite can pull a cruise ship. If I were a co-owner of a cruise ship I would hope to find like minded co-owners who would be receptive to using such state-of-the-art technologies to save fuel.

There are hundreds of cruise ships on the market but I will just mention one more here. This cruise ship has Ro/Ro (Roll-On, Roll-Off) capability. This would be very favorable for live aboard owners who want to bring their "toys" with them. The stable deck will adapt 6 to 8 trucks, or 60 to 80 cars. That converts to a lot of co-owner toys such as motorhomes, voyage trailers, campers, cabin cruisers, ski boats, jet skis, sailboats, houseboats, bass boats, motorcycles, Atvs, cars, and trucks.
