Spoil Me

By far the most unexpected thing about SAS is the service we get. It is a lot like being on a cruise! Each “sea” (like a floor in college apt’s) has a steward who tends to your rooms. My roommate Jihane and I are taken care of by Ruel. Most of the staff is from the Phillipines and they all speak English. Ruel comes into our room every single day to make our beds, sweep the floor and change our towels. If we’ve left out clothes or books he always stacks or folds them. It’s like living in a palace. Not only that but at meals, there are workers who take our trays, bring us drinks and remove our dishes when we are done. Our laundry is simply stuffed in bags and set outside our doors to be returned, washed and folded, the next day. We are starting to wonder what it’s going to be like to go home and have to do things for ourselves.
