Not ego at all Hank. To each his own. I have had a parcel of kids and handled everything including a huge business all my life working up to 18 hours a day sometimes--lots. I like a Butler. There are other times--my friend who came in another suite rented a tuxedo which was HUGE, BUTLER ran all over finding pins! I do not let them unpack or pack, but one time my husband drank tainted milk on shore, Butler took care of him bringing all sorts of stuff. By the way, we followed our Butler! Weird, right! I don't go on a cruise to continue my heavy lifting. That being said, we only have a part time one on this ship. We will see how that works! Sorry if I seem uppity, but I am really quite a work horse!
