Can. Not. Wait.

Just flew around the world for the second time with Four Seasons and if the service, food, hospitality and excursions with the ships are anywhere near as fabulous as their jet experience then we are all in for a treat once FS sets sail.  There was quite a bit of excitement about the ships with my fellow travelers onboard the jet.

Has anyone booked?  I am very tempted but I notice the business model is more of a floating hotel.  Contrary to what most people consider a luxury cruise the FS model is not very inclusive at all.  The “room rate” is based on double occupancy or in the larger suites the max occupancy - so pricing is not per person.  Only breakfast is included and everything else - food, beverages, excursions, transfers are priced a la carte.  Suites look beautiful and spacious but so far the itineraries aren’t too inspiring.  
 

The few cruises I do are enjoyable because I don’t have to deal with checking a long bill at the end and I really like the all-inclusiveness.  Does anyone know if there are other cruise lines with this model?  I have a feeling that FS is looking to attract the FS and luxury hotel customer, not necessarily a traditional cruise customer.
