Abstract
The moment has finally arrived. You have gone through the check in process on the pier and you are now about to get your first glimpse of the place you will be calling home and using as an observatory for the duration of your cruise. Once you go up the gangway, the stairs from the pier to the ship’s entryway, you will actually set foot on the ship herself. Ship security personnel will scan your keycard, and you will officially become part of the ship’s roster. From here on out you have to learn your way around the ship, and her deck plan is your guide.
