I’d rather interact with people than to lie about being pampered. I’d be interested in reading about expectations and practices of ‘luxury’, should you decide to spin off a thread.

The [MS Deutschland](http://www.deilmann-kreuzfahrten.de/) looks like it could be fun. It’s probally the closest experiance to sailing on an ocean liner of old. Of course it’s also really exepensive, my German is extremely poor, and I’m guess the average age of the passengers is about 70.
