Here are several pictures showing the ship , Rhapsody of the Seas, and activities. It is nearly 1000 ft. long. The officers, staff and crew number about 750. That includes a staff to make repairs while under way, such as mechanics, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, painters and upholsterers. I understand that they can even overhaul a diesel engine while on a cruise. Passengers can have all their meals in the main dining room, or in the buffet on deck 9. Most elect to have breakfast and lunch in the buffet and the dinner in the main dining room at either the early (6:00 PM) or late (8:30 PM) seatings. Our cruise had over 2200 passengers, including many children.
The only port in which I could take a picture of most of the ship was Victoria, and then I had to take a long walk on a breakwater.
Here is the aft of the ship. Note the float plane at left which runs a schedule between Victoria and Seattle and other destinations in the area.
The ship is registered in Nassau, Bahamas, and flies its flag.
Here we are whale watching (really!) in a lounge.
This is the main indoor swimming pool. None of our group used either pool.
Jo ordered a birthday cake for me, a bit early!
Our room steward most nights left extra towels in our stateroom arranged as animals, including a monkey, turkey, and pig
I grabbed this shot of Mike and Barbara on a formal night as the professional photographer to do their portrait was delayed in setting up his equipment
