I thought I had read last year where you gave a price on the stay at the Starcruiser. I found it on August 21st of 2019. I’m confused about the math though. If $3300 is the cost for one person for 3 days and 2 nights, how do we get to $7200 total for 5 people in the cabin for 3 days and 2 nights?
Additional people cost less than the first guests in a hotel room. This is common.
