Umm... if you're wearing a Rolex, you shouldn't be in F.

For that, I have a full lie flat bed (two in fact) in a 150 sq foot room with private toilet/shower, twice daily maid service, up to 5 meals a day at full sit down lunch/dinner, shows, lectures, dancing, get-togethers, etc.
And some of us don't like cruises. I don't like to take 5 days to travel somewhere I can get to in 8-10 hrs on a plane. I'd go stir crazy being cramped in 150 sq ft closet for 10 days.
I get bored to death on a cruise. I prefer the hustle and bustle of a city, unlimited choices on where to go, where to eat, etc. I also don't like people telling me I only have 6-8 hrs to explore a city.
