150 a night would be easy at 1/2 NL right????
In theory it would work, and in application the right person would probably be able to break even long run. However if you are trying to pay for the weekly expenses AND make a profit, I don't think it would be possible long term.
The other problem with this is that all cruise prices are based on double occupancy. So your choices are:
A) Pay double occupancy prices for a single room, thus nearly doubling your expenses.
B) Room with a non poker player, your odds of finding someone to room with you long term is about zero and it would be a pain trying to find a different person each week.
c) Room with another poker player, with the already small pool of players; dividing this pool between two players will lower your weekly earnings.
So in summary I agree with the above posters, it's a discount or a stimulus to a nice vacation, nothing more nothing less.
