Servant or master?

A thought when I was on a cruise:

The reason why a cruise is so great is because you have so many ‘servants’ working for you.

Then I thought about the word ‘servant’, and discovered the etymology of the word originates from Latin (servus), which literally means ‘slave’.

The reason why everyone (passengers) on a cruise has such a good time:

You are a pseudo-master (you don’t need to labor or toil for anything — everything is taken care for you).

You don’t need to cook, clean, etc. You just ‘have fun’.
