I doubt very much if cruise line managers cruise. If the do, I would guess they book suites and never leave their cabin. I bring this up because I was thinking….ships are getting bigger. 7000+ pax. How the hell, do you carry that many people, and dock at a tiny private island ? Granted not everyone will disembark to that island, we never do, but still. 5000 people on an island meant to hold maybe half that. 5000 people fighting to be first off the ship in order to get one of the 500 chairs. Crazy

As for Cruise execs .. before getting dumped from NCL the CEO cruised regularly on NCL ships out of NYC. It was him that their OSheehans restaurant was named and Breakaway was the first to have it.
Yeh, but they sure knew who he was didn't they? Speaking of which, we'll be on BREAKAWAY again...and you KNOW what that means...I can taste those midnite wings now...

FWIW, I kind of think around 4k is tops, and that for a well run ship, with well organized meals, activities, entertainment and excursions. That "undercover boss" thing is interesting, but if they were, they'd never get behind the scenes either.
You proposed a grand idea, however, in the real world, it would never happen...

Even when they might sail, they wouldn't be one of the great unwashed, unless they were being a person on the show Undercover Boss. They seem to be trying to put as many passengers as possible together in one ship. I for one am not a fan of "the bigger is better" attitude.
