The World at Port Canaveral

These are pictures of The World. The ship stopped by Port Canaveral for an air show at Patrick AFB and a shuttle launch. The World is a condominium ship; each person owns their apartment and shares in the maintenance of the ship. You can rent an apartment on the ship just as you can in many condominiums.


Noreen and I have looked at the ship but it really isn’t a good cruise ship. There is very limited entertainment and shows. It is really like renting in an apartment building with a restaurant and spa except it has world class service and it moves around. Also, Noreen doesn’t vacation in anything that has a kitchen and washer/dryer.

I took the picture of the balcony so you can see the difference in size.  On a cruise ship a normal balcony room has a balcony a bit smaller than one set of the sliding doors you see on The World.  You can see the ship is very square as all the apartments have balconies and privacy.
