I wonder if you've ever read David Foster Wallace's piece "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again"? It was his very popular take on cruise ship life, full of unexpected observations, wit, humor, and a fair share of darkness to balance out the flavor. Yours reminds me very much of his for all the same reasons. This is such a funny story, and the writing is so bouncy and full of energy. Not a lazy line in the entire piece. Gems all around. Was great fun to read. If there's any justice among the writing gods, it'd "go viral" as the kids say

Cunard is great. Our favorite line so far. We did not feel any snobbery because the entitled are sequestered in the Queens and Princess Grill sections. They also hide children on a special deck. We tried an inside cabin for the first time and loved it.
