[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t crew quarters generally below guest suites? How did most of the crew survive but the guests did not? [/quote]

It was around 4am, so guests were in cabins, crew on deck due to the storm. The chef was sleeping because chefs are off duty at night, so he died too. The captain should have been at dock and not out during the storm. Is it possible the guest insisted on it despite captain's advice? Sure. Still terrible and it made me have more respect for Captain Sandy on Below Deck: she will tell the guests she's staying at dock despite protests and them being very upset, to avoid situations like these.[/quote]

Boats like this do not "dock" at night.  Ever.  First there really are not docks that can support it -- Below Deck boats no where near the size of this and you cannot compare the two at all.  But no -- this boat would not dock -- it would anchor or moor.  So nothing unusual.  If this boat came to NY or even DC it would not dock[/quote]

Perhaps a question for another thread but I've always wondered what people on these yachts do all day, all week. When they anchor or moor, do the passengers just chill on the yacht all day, for days on end? Or do guests frequently take dingies (?) or whatever to shore to go out to eat and booze? Seems like it'd be boring after a while, but I really have no idea what the routine is.[/quote]

My only window into that life was a weekend I spent on a rich friend’s boat. We were both poor when we met but he went on to become wealthy.

He had a $20+M yacht with a fairly large crew. As far as I could tell it was mostly just a life of goofing off. If you tried to do something like take a dish to the kitchen, the crew would be horrified and not allow it. Apparently on some boats the crew can’t talk to the owner. You have to tell whatever it is to the majordomo and he tells the wife, who in turn has a written with her hubby. It’s all very silly. I’d be happy to have silly existence like that though. [/quote]

I prefer a fun and meaningful human existence with caring friends and loving family. So many better ways to spend thet money to create joy and comfort. [/quote]
