Speaking as a landlubber who has only been onboard a crewed charter for one night (by means of an invitation to spend a free night onboard--no misunderstanding there!!! ) I have followed this saga with interest. It seems that there does seem to be some disagreement with what should be included in the price of the charter. About the crew drinking, it seems pretty unanimous that was unacceptable. I'm just very sorry for the original poster, that, for whatever reason, this happened to them and possibly ruined what was not an inexpensive trip.
