Alone at breakfast, Emily and the Kolkata Chairman continue to enjoy each other's company. He confides that he didn't expect the extra special service that she provided and promises he will always treasure the memory of the best night of his life. Emily is very happy to know that but inwardly hopes he remembers that her profession is prostitution. Over time Amy, Sansa and Sushila, with their dates, join them for breakfast. The conversation centres on the excellent implementation of a wonderful idea. Each in their own way modestly dismisses the full responsibility maintaining it was a team effort. One of the men suggests purchasing another superyacht and Emily laughs softly: "It's funny you should mention it, I can't deny that the thought has occurred to me. However, I'd first like to see the rest of the maiden cruise turn out to be as successful as the first night seems to have been".
As they stand, they realise for the first time that they have lost sight of land. They go about their separate ways and Sansa joins Emily on her way to the brothel: "Have you really thought about buying another vessel?" Emily replies that she has but only in the most superficial ways. She adds that the profitability of every element of the first cruise needs to be assessed individually, and as a whole, before even a second sex cruise is contemplated. Sansa nods in agreement: "There is so much to be learned from the experiences gained from the maiden cruise". On reaching the brothel Sansa opens the door for Emily with a grin.
They enter the brothel and are surprised to find the 6 new 'registered ladies' present and dressed ready for business in their brothel uniforms. They smile and greet them all with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, wishing them a good morning, or what little is left of it. They all sit and discuss the activities of the previous night and it turns out that the brothel was full of men pretty much all the time, i.e. they were all kept busy all night long without a break BUT they all had a wonderful time. Emily apologises that they didn't get any breaks but is delighted to know they enjoyed the night and lets them talk about their experiences. They say how good it feels to at last have a real profession that pays well and lets them help their families financially. One big point for Emily and Sansa is their obvious happiness and gratitude for a good job in which they feel safe and cared about.
Emily asks: "Now that you are 'registered ladies', we have to consider finding more ladies to be recruited and trained up for selection in the same way that you have been. My first question, admittedly based on only one night, is do you consider that a brothel staff of 10, based on the 10 bedroom suites within the brothel would provide you with sufficient breaks". Achara speaks for the group and says that based on those waiting during the night it is hard to tell whether breaks would be possible even with 10. Emily points out that last night was the first night of the first cruise and perhaps there is a novelty value at play, but suggests they aim for a break of 30 minutes after each client to shower and change into a fresh uniform. Then she adds that they will have plenty of opportunity in the coming weeks to review the situation and plan for future cruises. They all agree.
Emily poses another question: "We were particularly fortunate to secure your services, as young ladies wishing to earn more for the benefit of your families and willing to apply yourselves heart and soul into making a success of a profession many look down on. My question is basically, where can we find more wonderful ladies such as yourselves?" Emily pauses to let them think half expecting them to recommend their new career to friends and relatives. They whisper among themselves and Achara replies: "Apart from friends and relatives with the need to earn to support their families, just like us, perhaps there are crew members who would welcome the opportunity and 10 doesn't seem so very many to find". Emily thanks them for their excellent suggestions and agrees that 10 doesn't sound many, when their group of 7 asked to be considered from a skeleton crew.
Emily asks the ladies if they are finding their accommodation suitable and they politely respond that it is very suitable. Sansa asks Emily in a whisper as now they are 'registered ladies' perhaps they could each stay in one of the 10 brothel suites. Emily nods agreement and asks the ladies, providing the room is always kept clean and presentable during brothel business hours, would they like to live in the brothel bedroom suites instead of sharing a cabin and sleeping in bunks? The ladies are ecstatic at the idea and they are given permission to move into the suites when off duty. There should be enough storage room in each suite for the belongings of one 'registered lady'. Everyone agrees that it was a very useful meeting with a very nice outcome.
In the lounge of Emily's cabin, Emily & Sansa tell Amy & Sushila of their meeting with the brothel prostitutes, now 'registered ladies'. They discuss all the points and agree what they've learned so far and record the points in a list to review as the cruise progresses. First, the 10 bedroom suites in the brothel can release cabins for use of the crew. Second, the brothel should have a full compliment of 10 ladies. Third, the brothel requires 10 of its own stewardesses that are sensitive to times of access, i.e. outside business hours (from 2 p.m. until 2 a.m.) and for 30 minutes after a bedroom suite has been used. A roster for the rotation of the 10 stewardesses provides an opportunity for their recruitment as prostitutes, keeping the recruitment cycle in-house. Fourth, outside recruitment of brothel prostitutes becomes both unnecessary and undesirable for security reasons. Fifth, the brothel ladies need a break of 30 minutes to shower and change into a fresh uniform after each client.
Finally, Emily suggests if the brothel continues to be as successful, it may not be necessary to be paying US$5,000 a night to 30 'registered ladies' and all 4 ladies should keep an eye out, e.g. for unoccupied 'registered ladies' to try and establish the right number of 'registered ladies' for the next cruise.
Emily and the Captain take lunch in private to discuss brothel staffing. He sees no problem with regard to moving the ladies into the bedroom suites of the brothel but will check that the mandatory SOLAS (safety & life saving) equipment on board is sufficient, i.e. whether the numbers are calculated to include the brothel bedroom suites. There's no problem with numbers on this cruise and if there is a deficiency of equipment for the extra 10, then it can be purchased. He thinks the plan to rotate stewardesses is a good idea allowing those from needy families to send more money home if she becomes a lady of the brothel. Emily notes the way he avoids using the word 'prostitute' and says nothing. He tells her that stewardesses come and go in their quest for extra money to send home. The Captain thanks her for consulting with him and tells her it is a pleasure to work for, and with, such a considerate owner. Usually owners just tell him what they want and expect it to happen. They shake hands with a smile and go their separate ways.
After lunch Emily meets in the lounge with Amy, Sansa and Sushila to bring them up-to-date with her discussion with the Captain, i.e. he has no difficulties with the 10 brothel suites being used as accommodation for the brothel ladies and he agrees with the sense of recruiting for the brothel from 10 of the stewardesses who, on rotation, will look after the bedroom suites, the brothel ladies in particular and the remaining parts of the brothel in general. She doesn't bother them with details of SOLAS equipment as the Captain said it won't effect this cruise. Tea and cakes are served and they chat generally for an hour or so before going to their cabins to prepare for the night to come.
Emily undresses and places the discarded items into the laundry bag and takes a shower. Dried and fragranced she selects and puts on an emerald green lace thong. Sitting at her dressing table she brushes out her hair and does her makeup, smiling with satisfaction as she has just like the standard 'registered lady' look for monthly meetings. Satisfied with hair and makeup, she puts on her name pendant necklace then selects an emerald green silk maxi dress. Like some others made for her by the Kolkata tailor it features: a deep V neckline, spaghetti shoulder straps and a slit up the front of her left leg to just above her knee. She admires herself in the mirror and chooses a black sequined clutch bag. Next she selects a pair of patent black leather sandals with 4 inch heels and puts them on. Finally she chooses a sheer emerald green wrap embroidered with roses.
