I think I would still find having a servant weird. Everyone's experiences I guess. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isn't having a steward exactly the same as having a servant ? They make your bed, clean your room, arrange your towels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never considered the cabin Stewart my servant or personal valet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much real difference is there between having someone take care of your personal needs (while taking care of the personal needs of a couple of folks in nearby cabins) and having someone take care of your personal needs?

Yeah, I cannot really disagree. And I'm sure you would win any debate about what defines a servant. I just never considered someone in housekeeping my servant. Still don't & would not refer to them as such. Certainly, on the cruises I've experienced, the cabin stewards provide high levels of service. Hopefully my original post was not taken as criticism. I simply would be uncomfortable with the personalized attention I associate with a "servant", maybe like the ones that used to serve in the great houses. BTW, I wouldn't want a butler. They always seem to get blamed for bad things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to actually DO it. Here in the states I can use the Coin Star machine and transfer the WHOLE balance directly to my Amazon account. I have two Piggy Bank cans that all my coins go in to and it usually comes to 160$ when I empty them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
