@reuters: The captain of the Villa Vie Odyssey cruise ship described how "painful" it was for him and his crew to request hundreds of people who were living permanently on the vessel to disembark after soaring fuel prices forced them to cease operations. ⠀ #cruise #endlesscruise #fuelcosts #iranwar #luxurycruise

This had to be a scam. How can "pay one price" to live forever on a cruise ship be sustainable? Eventually the money is gonna run out.

It had nothing to do with the cost of fuel. It was a scam from the beginning.

No other cruise lines are going out of business due to fuel prices. This was a scam from the start.

If each cabin cost an average of $300k where did the money go? This was probably a scam all along

it's like a landlord telling you to leave your apartment because they can't afford the electric bill.

Poor management. Should’ve had contracts in place for fuel. Especially if you people living on this ship. I guess they thought they could charge residents a high monthly fee and pay much less for fuel by going month by month

Kanti how long before government treats energy security as urgent? We import our fuel and don't refine enough, so trouble in the Gulf hits our pumps within weeks. We need local refining and storage now.

Interesting how they blamed it on fuel. 🙄 They knew what they were doing a long time ago. These people paid 300,000 plus 7000/month for a 15 year investment and 2 years in they want to claim bankruptcy due to fuel prices 😡 What s scam

It was a scam from the beginning, but there were so many warning signs that it’s literally the people’s own fault for buying into the concept to start with
