In a sequel to the last post. It just dawned on my feeble mind, that traveling in the YC also saves me the cost of buying a Royal Title.

Here is an example of the subtle differences employed in the YC that contributes to a better ‘blue mind’. Butlers dressed as traditional butlers in ‘over the top’ Hollywood style costumes with white gloves. Evoking in YC guests an air of deserving Royal treatment. (and for most of us, receiving Royal treatment). For instance being addressed as’Sir’ Morpheus. I have more. Can you spot any ?

“What is a blue mind? Water in the ocean, rivers, lakes and even baths can make us feel calmer, increase well-being and boost creativity. Blue Mind is the mildly meditative state people fall into when they are near, in, under or on water. Water positively affects the mind and body, and the Blue Mind Theory provides ways people can use water to improve their well-being. Blue Mind is the term used to describe the state of water-associated peace. Some of the ways water can produce physical and mental health benefits include: Bodies of water trigger involuntary attention, which is essential to problem-solving and creativity. Water increases the neurotransmitters dopamine, sometimes called the feel-good hormone; serotonin, also known as the happiness hormone; and oxytocin, described as the cuddle hormone; and decreases cortisol, described as the stress hormone. Water is a source of awe that expands a person’s compassion. The color, sound and feel of water can lower pulse rate and increase feelings of calmness.” Great YC service promotes the “blue mind” better than the competition.

While on a recent cruise, we attended the first evenings show in the theatre. The cruise director’s welcome speech was quite telling. He said “that our sailing had about 1000 passengers out of about 6000 guest capacity. This meant we could now save 6 deck chairs around the pool deck instead of just 2. Why not? All now have the benefit and feel of cruising on the largest ‘yacht’ in the world.” No lines anywhere. Walk up to any venue and be immediately seated. Commandeer 2 deck lounge chairs in the sun and 2 in the shade. Able to socially distance in any venue. Less crowded, even empty elevators with little wait. If guests want to get the ‘feel’ of what it is like to cruise on some of the largest ‘yachts’ in the world, right now is the time. Choose a line that is still limiting passenger capacity
