Stateroom

This cruise through the Three Gorges was the gift I gave myself for completing my ODW tour of duty.  I bought out one of the ship’s two spacious “Shangri-La Suites.”
A bathtub on a ship?  Decadent!  (I didn’t use it.  Felt too guilty.)  
Awww.  Origami towels in the shape of kissing swans?  Romantic!  (I pretended to wring their necks.)The room came with a decent bottle of French wine, too.But the real reason I splurged on the Shangri-La Suite was the private balcony that faced forward off the bow of the ship.
