Your meals are brought to you. You are told to stay seated most of the time. Staff do everything for you. You sit in rows of identical chairs. They switch the lights off at bedtime. The TV is always there to keep you quiet. And the more money you can afford to pay the more tolerable the whole unpleasant experience becomes.
