You got it right on the head. I have made a decided effort to keep the
"crew" area of the ship as efficiant and sparse as neccessary, but I want to
lavish splendor on the passengers... a space cruise would be pretty
expensive, and they should expect it.
For example, the crew has 2 bunk rooms; one for the guys, one for the girls.
Each room has six sleeping modules. The crew has almost 30 people, so they
have to sleep in rotations and work a pretty tight schedule. That means you
get to share your bed with 2 other people... kinda dehumanizing. It pays
pretty good though, and you get to save some genuine Saturn "ring dust" as a
souvenier.
cheers!
