We have had a couple of exhausting days at sea which I know will earn us your complete sympathy! As the ship is sailing only half full we were able to upgrade from a balcony cabin
to a Club Continent Suite (the equivalent of a Princess mini suite)
for a really reasonable price. And, to our delight, that brings with it even more bennies than we have been receiving as "Discoverer" members (Azamara's highest loyalty level--ours by dint of our other RCCL trips).
Our new cabin comes, not only with more space, better closets, and a bigger bathroom, but we now have----a butler--Sanjiv! He brings our afternoon canapés and makes sure that the champagne is on ice. I am telling you that we are going to be impossible when we get back!
Our suite comes with free booze---yes, more than we had before, and more than we can possibly drink. Here's what was in our cabin when we moved in---4 bottles of booze, a bottle of champagne from the hotel director and one from our travel agent. We opened one and had it with our former neighbors and took the remains to the buffet for mimosas the next morning.
We also get free access to the mineral whirlpool and private deck on the bow, so we've been hanging out up there! (we did eventually figure out how to turn on the jets).
The other morning at 10:30am I went to a coffee tasting-- thinking it would be Arabica, Columbian, etc. Turns out it was specialty coffees with the full complement of liqueurs and we got full sized samples! The Aspen Coffee comes with Baileys, Frangelico and Kahlua--delicious!
This morning at 11:30am we passed up the senior officers cocktail party in favor of a bridge tour
and we passed up the 2:30 wine tasting in favor of a galley tour.
I hope you can see what lengths we are going to for moderations sake. I must admit though that the Sommelier does know us by name and even went to the cellars to get some more of that delicious green wine for me for lunch-- so that I wouldn't have to suffer with plain old Chardonnay.

are we going to need to get you two a 12-step program when you get back?
Sounds like a pretty rough life you're leading over there. Just hope you're not expecting that kind of service upon your return!
