We are awake when Anusha serves us breakfast in bed, we tell her that she is spoiling us. She smiles and says that with all our responsibilities we deserve something special. She notices Mr MacHinery covered in a spare blanket but resists the urge to ask about it and continues with her duties. We know very well that when we're out and she is servicing our stateroom she'll take a look under the blanket, we agree that the time it takes for someone to mention our machine will be an excellent indicator of her trustworthiness.
As we enjoy our breakfast, I confess to Sansa that I've been investigating the idea of adding another luxury cruise yacht to The Marigold Line for which we'll use the codename 'Empress'. Construction has already started and Sushila has secured first refusal for us at a price of £430 million. It offers 38 luxury staterooms incorporating an luxurious and spacious open-plan reception area and dining area with ocean views, the glass is one-way providing privacy for those inside. In addition, there are all the restaurants, lounges, communal areas, and more than we have here on Maharani.
There is an owners' residence covering the complete area of the highest residential deck. There's even a helipad in the bow area. If we were to charge £50,000 per week for a stateroom, as we are doing very successfully here on Maharani, the annual gross income could be as much as £98.8 million if all staterooms are occupied.
It is a well established pattern on cruise ships that wealthy ladies often choose to spend their autumn years and savings on cruising and being looked after by cruise ship staff, rather than resort to paying for several staff at home, so why not other rich ladies too?
Empress will be able to undertake more adventurous ocean cruises for rich and powerful ladies to live very comfortably on board and run their various enterprises from an office in each apartment. She will be able to travel at comfortable speeds and every stop will be at the vote of our residents, as will the length of time that she stays in port to give all the time desired to make the most of the visit. Bangkok Girl and Maharani would continue to cruise around India.

She absolutely loves the idea, particularly since our current cruise guests represent just the sort of ladies that could be our target demographic. She says that the news the purser gave us about advance bookings being on the way to a two year waiting list suggests that what we are doing with Maharani is what such ladies appreciate. I agree and suggest that others might like our idea and try to copy it, so we should move fast and capture as much of the market of rich
