One of the more intriguing questions to be asked of Adam Goldstein, Royal Caribbean International's president and chief executive, on Oasis of the Seas this week was the significance of the 150 in the name 150 Central Park.
That's the new upscale restaurant, strangely enough in the Central Park neighbourhood of this just-launched mega 5,400-passenger ship.
"I'll give you two options," Goldstein replied. "It's either because it only costs $35 [per person] to eat there, but the value of the food you'll be eating is actually $150.
"Or, we mark the size of a ship from bow to stern in metres and the restaurant is at the 150-metre mark."
Nice answer - even getting a quick "value" message in there - but I gather it's actually because the ship is constructed using a series of building blocks and it sits on number 150.
There's a nice piece of trivia to pass on to other passengers if you're ever on board.
