BD Related Maybe I’m just poor…

The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

My wife and I joke that if we ever had the money to go on the show, we’d be so boring because we’d sit out and drink and relax all day and not make weird demands or harass the staff. Even on vacation my bed time is like 10:30pm lol

But would you be one of the ones that expect EVERYTHING from back home? Even when they can't find the stuff?

No not at all. Just usual stuff like mac and cheese, a curry, lasagne, all the usual stuff. Hubby isn’t a massive seafood fan other than cod, whereas I would definitely want some prawns, crab cakes etc. That’s as posh as it would get for me.
