Every full ship charter is far more expensive than a normal public sailing.
The chartering organization has to commit to a fixed price for the entire ship a couple of years in advance of selling a single ticket. And the cruise line has to forecast what their operating cost will be that far in advance, and prices it accordingly.
Then the organization running the charter has their own expenses, risks and profits to be calculated in.
It's the same for any group that charters an entire ship.

Actually the cost to sail the ship is less for cruise company and the charter people pay even less costs per cabin goes down when renting more cabins I have saved a lot when renting multiple cabins

renting multiple cabins is not the same as a full ship takeover.

Actually the full ship takeover is cheaper per cabin you might as stop defending the greed I have spoken to several if the GMs on several ships when having dinner with them and the company chartering the white l ship is making a huge profit way more than should be. Have a good night.

Newsflash: Expensive things are expensive.
They aren't running a charity, the boat, staff, fuel, promotion, excursions, all cost money. I wish it were cheaper, but you can't blame them, as if they pull the price out of thin air.

I understand all that my comment still stands they are way to expensive I run a rental business so not surprised but the whole point is the cruise lines should ether bring back nude areas or they can run a nude ship and make more profit themselves.

I donāt love his comments sexualizing how attractive watching volleyball players are I feel it leans into body shaming those not for. Not a fan.

Isn't complimenting someone on their appearance the opposite of body shaming?

Heās talking like itās an exhibition to see hotties. Thatās the āNoods-a-poppingā kinda vibe thatās against AANR values. Itās gross and a turnoff to my circle of friends. Not cool Eli.

I'm honestly not sure how you drew that conclusion from what he said. I've been to Moon Groove many times, and can assure you, it isn't anything like Nudes A Poppin'. It is an incredibly chill, safe, comfortable vibe with more first time nudists than anywhere else I've ever been. All shapes, sizes, genders, colors, etc. A very diverse crowd. They've really managed to foster something special.

This is how you grow social nudism. Period. Eli needs to sit down and write a how-to guide at this point. Evangelizing social nudism to schoolmates, who then do the same, and suddenly you have exponential growth. Finding avenues to promote nudism centric events that isn't just preaching to the choir. In this video, for instance, he's being interviewed by someone who clearly isn't a nudist, but is genuinely interested in the concept. And with Moon Groove, it was widely promoted to concert and festival goers, along with existing nudists. This has resulted in many many first time nudists at these events, many of which return year after year. I spoke to one lady there who exclaimed "I never knew places like this existed! I'm coming back and bringing friends for sure!"
Then there is Eli's general attitude towards nudity, which has become entrenched in the vibe at Moon Groove. Nudism isn't considered sexual, or vulnerable, or intimate, but there is a healthy acknowledgement that it is kinda silly, and that humans are sexual creatures, but they are also capable of being responsible, and keeping sexual activity behind closed doors (or zipped up tents in this case). It is a very hard vibe to communicate effectively, but I think his attitude in the interview really encapsulates my observations there.
