For one thing you are totally isolated from being at sea on the
Carnival boats. It is real hard to find a place where you can actually
see it. Walking down the main hall in the Destiny is like being inside
a pinball machine. There are chase lights in the floor and constant
"bing bong" sounds coming from the casino. The only way I got up near
the bow was to hang out with the band and get up there through the
crew compartment one night.

On the Noordham you feel like a passenger on a ship. The Crow's nest
bar is really cool. They keep the lights dimmed and there is a place
right at the bow with a big binnacle compass. From the 04 deck (or so)
you really get a sense that this is a ship moving through the water.
Here's what a real cruise ship should look like.

The lifeboat deck is open, as is the bow and stern.

Nice looking ship but I bet the passengers can't get out on that
forward deck. Can you actually see out of those windows in front or is
that all for the bridge?


The bow is open, the stern is open, the windows in front are for the
bridge, but the deck above the bridge is open. The lifeboat deck is
open except at the bow and stern. This deck is a great place for
jogging or walking.

Here is a good representation of the ship. Click on an area to
enlarge.

Remember, Harry's not been, so you'll see a lot of jealousy there -
and the natural narcissism that comes with HK.

A few years Harry was planning on going over to Egypt as part of the
United Nation's effort to train them how to build homes. While he was ,
and was going to go fishing for some Nile Carp, he might have gone of a
cruise at that time

Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks as if only the uppermost deck
is open to the elements and the sea. If so, it's probably to keep all
the kiddies from falling overboard. Nothing quite like being on a cruise
with 2000 of your closest friends, eh?- Hide quoted text -

You wouldn't know because you have no friends. Ever wonder why?

On Holland America ships there is a bar with three floor to ceiling
walls. It is directly above the bridge and has bigger windows.

Casady


OK, but don't most walls go from floor to ceiling?

The Disney Magic has several bars, at least two with unobstructed
outdoor views of the ocean.

But, whatever Harry is going on or has been on will be a much better
cruise ship...simply because.

Because:

A narcissist can be dishonest but at the same time is a master of
disguise and can lie very convincingly.
A narcissist thinks that he or she is entitled to special privileges
or special treatment.

I seem to have left out a word, make that glass walls. You could see
270 degrees of ocean.
