How much could duck soup cost?

A lot, if you are a duck. :D

100K to 200K is a broad range. I have a hard time believing a number with that much wiggle.

 

If you take the $10 pp per day number that is being listed by some X 2000 passengers (modest #) X 7 days, that = 140K in food alone. If you add in all the alcohol consumed on board, I think you can see why 100K to 200K including alcohol would not be unreasonable.

I thought the thread was about the cost of food. I doubt they want us to know anything about the cost of booze.

$10 to $11 a day sounds about right.

 

My guess is that most people only eat closer to two meals a day... Dinner, and either a decent breakfast or lunch, and some snacking on either end. You've got to save room for the two-entree' dinner... :D

 

Even at home, you can prepare some very nice meals for $10 per person, per day... and that's without the benefit of purchasing using economies of scale.
