Entrance and Exit

The Entrance and Exit are twin luxury cruise liners that launched in August 2002 on separate sides of the Pacific Ocean. They were both seaijacked over the course of their voyages: SAMPLE seajacked Exit while the Mask Makers led their own uprising on both ships.

Background and Build
The ships were built "several years" prior to 2002 in a joint venture by corporations from the Unites States and Japan.

The Entrance is described as 306m in length, 55m in height, and 52m wide. It can hold over 2500 passengers and over a 1000 crewmembers. The Exit shares the same dimensions and capacity size.

The Entrance is white, while the Exit is pitch black.

One of the Entrance's passengers (Firo Prochainezo) describes the ship as having 'everything. It had multiple restaurants ranging from five-star eateries to cheap burger joints and a variety of cuisines. It had a humongous multi-level shopping mall in the middle of the ship sporting expensive boutiques, bookstores, toy stores, salons, arcades, a casino and more. The stores were lined around a gigantic hall, its ceiling clear acrylic. Mirrors were used by daytime to fill the hall with sunlight.

Leisure facilities aboard the ship included a wave pool, tennis courts, and clay pigeon shooting facilities.

Departure
Exti departed from Yokohama Harbor, Japan in August 2002. Entrance departed a day later from the North American west coast. The Entrance was captained by Falk Corner, and its departure was resplendent with fireworks and doves released at the harbor.

The two ships were intended to Meet in the Ocean and shoot fireworks to bless the other's voyage.

John Drox and his crew received permission to shoot scenes for the film Shark Flight on board the Entrance.

Tickets were extraordinarily expensive; some were priced at $10,000 per person.
