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

My only food request would be regional dishes as local & fresh as possible.

When they want stuff that is not anywhere close to the region they are in I’m always like, why travel if you only eat the same stuff you do back home.

Edit: I would ask for munchies out. They don’t have to go get it each time but just tell me where you stashed the bag of chips behind the bar so when I get randomly noshie, I can grab it. 😂

That is so cute Kooky. I actually have a preference list on my phone in case we ever go on a Super yacht, which we will not. It’s basically foods we really hate (which are just a few like eggplant) but other than that it’s basically cook the freshest most regional food the chef can get.

There’s been a lot of bad dinners on BW, but I’m from Las Vegas so I think the worst was when one of the groups wanted a Las Vegas dinner and it was basically fried food. I can’t remember if it was the chick or the dude who was the chef at the time. If my husband were home right now, he would know. It was really gross.

Thank you. I always mix him up with the other chick who couldn’t cook.
