> $20/day (which does not seem onerous for access to high speed internet on the ocean)

Seems onerous to me when considering that it's shared with x other people. But I also don't know anything about cruise ship internet economics.

We paid like $350 for a couples massage on a cruise. It was almost worth it, until in our relaxed state the spa workers tried to sell us $80 lemon water claiming it would cure chronic diseases, and my blood pressure shot up to its max.

Upsells after, or God-forbid, during a massage are just the absolute worst.

Let me just lay down and forget the world for an hour and leave in bliss please.

"That's a tight shoulder you've got there, it would be a shame if I accidentally missed it."

I had a similar experience after a massage. She tried to sell me "energising face moisturiser" for $150.

I said I would feel more energised keeping the money in my pocket.

It's only good for the occasional email, in some ways its a great way to disconnect
