pope-visit-battleship-philadelphia-320

Those headed to Philadelphia for Pope Francis’s visit in September may be having trouble finding a hotel. Well, the Battleship New Jersey, which is docked across the river, is offering a Pope Special: sailors’ bunks for $75 per person, per night. The price includes breakfast and dinner, a ride in a flight simulator, and a tour of the historic ship which was launched on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Unfortunately, the Pope Special does not include showers.
