While the dinner was likely pricey, I think Klaus was referring to the ships name ‘Odyssey’.....which I didn’t see until I looked closely.

Nice SHIP, thats not a BOAT!

It turns out the distinction is a little vague—some would call it a yacht—but officially the point where a boat becomes a ship seems to be 500 tons dispacement. The Odyssey is 1600 tons.

Too bad the Odyssey spends its life at 4.8 knots; it looks like it could go a lot faster!

Thank you Loki57! I feel like I already won by learning about Odyssey through this site.

Post by: klaus@odyssey on 30 Dec 2018, 11:08 am: Yup...and the Chicago skyline at night was awesome !!!! Dinner was so-so as was the entertainment, but you've got to go for the view....

And yes, seeing Odyssey I was contemplating buying the darn boat....one problem though, I'm probably at least 60 - 80 Million short....%^$#^%&%^#%$(^&$%^$^&#%$#^&%^&$&^%)*%^&$^&(*%^(*^&^%#$%@^%damnboat^%#%^%^@#$%#^%*$#*^%$
