He is from Java as is a great part of the culinary staff.

The above 2 photos shows the starboard anchor being replaced. These were taken at the highest deck on the ship, deck 10. Figure between decks at least 10 feet so we were 10 * 10 + A deck or 110 feet above the dock. That is why the people are so small. |
The above group is of the swimming pool. The sliding
cover allows year round "comfortable" swimming. Each cruise
many "Bar D Ques" are held beside the pool, today is a BBQ
celebrating Italy's independence (the true date was yesterday but some
people party for little or no reason and the ship is loaded with that
type.

Been looking for a shuffleboard since Rio de Janeiero,
20 days, and just found it. A passenger ship must have them or so my
jail house legal consul advises.

The above group was supposed to be close-ups of the
lush green area behind the oil tanks but the distance was too great.
