Ngaire, I think you are a fine writer. Thank you for this report, though I can deduce from it that this is probably not the ship for us. My husband has to have his spa and would be unhappy to have to pay extra for it on a "luxury" ship. I like my deck walking and want to be able to go all the way round. Then you add in having to pay for internet, not being able to get your own tea any time you like, no lunch on embarkation day, him having to bring a real suit. Too many negatives for us.
