Of course they do sonny, you will even get breakfast delivered by a nice man with lots of stripes on his waiters' uniform first thing in the morning........

You get the easy clean version if vacationing in HMP. Tiffs don't you just love 'em.

Even I nearly p****d myself laughing with that one! I worked on 'luxury' cruise ships for 4 years and even we didnt get our own cabins!

He's taking the p**s surely
The following may be of interest re cabins

In Aug 45 I was sent to Hamburg with about 10 other ratings to take over DITHMARSCHEN a German supply ship to The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, she was to be part of the war reparations from Germany while she was undergoing repairs and being made ready for use in the Royal Navy, for example ripping out all the crews cabins, creating large mess decks and welding hooks for hammocks.
The Navy couldn’t have the lowly matelot sleeping in cabins. What next soft toilet paper and scented soap?
Once all the cabins had been removed the hammock hooks installed….
Agreement was made by the allies was to give the ship to the American navy. I wasn’t there to see the hand over
When I assume all the cabins would be reinstalled ready for the American crew

The joys of life on a camp bed on Fearless' Tank Deck for 3 months. Plenty of fresh air, plenty of being arsed around and plenty of diesel when those nasty little boys from LC coy wound up their boats!
Yes I know, camp bed! camp bed! soft southern jessy!

Well we would have slept on the deck, but it was usually under water from the breakers coming over the stern gate.
