Bitcoin conference/networking aboard a cruise ship? Good idea? It wouldn't be that difficult to organize plus it would be more fun than the ones @ the Magic Kingdom. Thoughts?

great idea for the social side, but one stumbling block.. and if you ever been on a cruise ship you'd know it..
internet/speed and costs.

I know but why do you care, it's quality networking time, conferences, etc, if you're gonna lock yourself in your room and trade btc all day long then why even bother coming along?

you dont need to be locked in the cabin to use the internet. the invention of laptops, tablet pc's and smart phones cured that.

There are loads of businesses already doing this, it's not a new idea of mine. You can mix work with pleasure. As long as everyone is open to participate and network and socialise, not shut the world out and trade all day.

Sounds like a blast, now how would we buy our tickets in bitcoin? Well first we need a lot of ppl to be on board (no pun intended). Then we would have to find a good cheap deal for a ship. We either all buy in fiat individually (on the same ship), or we rent a whole ship in fiat and pre sell tickets in btc, but I can't organize it as I have no skills, it would have to be someone with experience. But if it goes ahead I'm definitely going and taking maybe 2 or 3 friends with me, that's 4 tickets secured so far : )

I meant the whole point is networking with other people, not shutting the world out. i never said shut the world out. im just imagining the average passenger usually buys 10 minutes internet time just to say hello on facebook to family back home and send a quick picture or two. imagine the internet costs/speed of people sending payments to buy a bitcoin T-Shirt onboard or to offer bitcoin faucet like giveaways to other passengers / interested parties. yes alot of talking will happen but the lack of ability to show-off bitcoin, to actually use bitcoin without hindrance, is an issue that must be atleast considered. kind of like setting up a different type of networking event and finding out the ships projector is not working. the little details cant be ignored or presumed to be capable of running during a cruiseliner. i say this as i was on a cruise and found trying to just view the blockchain was an issue. EDIT: ah i just read your not experienced with organising, ok well hopefully someone more organized comes along that can see all the pitfalls and find solutions BEFORE booking the boat

A pool was created specifically for this. It helps when planning something like this to know that people actually have the funds. BitPools helps with that. http://www.bitpools.com/?Bitcoin%20Cruise

For me that thing sounded like you want the full boat for yourself that's what I've calculated to a ship with a capacity of about 249 persons And that ship is ready to server immediately!!! Otherwise I can get you a Catamaran or a Gulet at a much lower price

But it would be nicer if you all gather in the same port so I can pick you all up at the same time! And we can make the a trip for a few days and then slowly leave everyone of you to the nearest port

You're telling me you can get these vessels to any port world wide? That seems like you have quite the connections or work with a world wide sailing company.
If you pay for it why not? It's not like I'm gonna do it for free just to see fabiola
