Thanks for the info. That's not too far off what what I had been guessing, but it's very good to hear it from someone with more experience than I have.
The Marine Traders look really close to what I was envisioning. The Mainships look good as well, but my concern would be having a v-berth instead of an actual bed/stateroom. My instincts are that it would be fine for a few nights, but would get old before long.

My girlfriend is definitely tolerant. If she wasn't, she'd have dumped me a loooong time ago....
