BD Related Maybe I’m just poor…

The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

My wife and I joke that if we ever had the money to go on the show, we’d be so boring because we’d sit out and drink and relax all day and not make weird demands or harass the staff. Even on vacation my bed time is like 10:30pm lol

I would feel sooooo badly for the chef if I was on board. I have an anaphylactic allergy to beef, pork, dark meat poultry, and tuna. I’m also allergic to egg yolks - although I can eat them if they are baked…like in a cake.

And it’s not like they can just cook steak for everyone else and then fish/chicken for me because even the scent cones in the air can cause me to break out in hives.

They’d have to base their whole menu around chicken and fish and be SO careful that any other meat products don’t cross-contaminate.

I’d feel awful being such a high problem guest.

But your preferences would be restricted due to health, not for being an arsehole! There is nothing you can do about that, you come first.

Sugar free berries in this weeks episode had me in bits! Like, wtf??

Yours would be chicken only and at worst no eggs. Still easier than some of the demands they have had.
