I think there are several problems, one of them being expense, and another the "captive" nature of the con (you couldn't leave the ship in mid-con). More recently there seem to be health problems associated with cruises. If we go smaller for Capclave and moved to a summer weekend we could rent pontoon boats and do the whole thing afloat... Cabin cruisers for sleeping... Bill
