What a bunch of softies! The closest we got to luxury on the old 'Border Boats' was the A.C. unit which could cool either the hospital or the officers smokeroom, but not both. In really hot weather it was used to cool the smokeroom - I'm not sure if anyone ever checked the hospital to see if anyone dying in there needed it - and rank determined how close to the A.C. outlet you got. As a lowly apprentice I admitted defeat and just slept on the boat deck. At least that way I only had to put up with my own B.O.
