It's much better to notify HAL in advance - they will give you an
automatic 15 class upgrade into a cabin with a private hot tub. You
will also be assigned a personal attendant (they call them "keepers").
Keepers are recruited almost exclusively from the ranks of former
Soviet Union female Olympic track and field competitors, and you will
find that everyone on board will show you great respect when one is
with you.

If your intent was to show off your physique, the private hot tub
would not work for you. Fortunately, HAL has taken that need into
account. Just wear your thong to dinner - when the maitre d sees your
keeper, he will get out of the way.

The practice of adorning Depends with corporate logos has not yet
become popular, but I expect that HAL will be the first cruise line to
be so targeted.

A small black Depends is always fashionable, though your local Walmart
might not carry them. You can buy the matching pearl fasteners at
your neighborhood Tiffany's.
