This is a very large ship with many, many decks. Most of the restaurants, shops, bars, events, and the theater are on the 5^th, 6^th, and 7^th decks. Our cabin is on the 11^th deck. We take the elevators a lot. There are hallways that run along both the port and starboard sides of the ship. Some of the places we are headed are towards the stern of the ship, and some are towards the bow. Every time we get off the elevator, we have to make a decision about which way to head to get where we are going. We invariably choose the wrong way. We often have to look out the windows to see which way the ship is steaming, and then we know which way to head. Sheesh! You’d think we’d have this down by now! And then when we get off the elevator on the 11^th deck, both sides of the ship look the same, so we again usually take the wrong way. That’s how we’re staying so slim and trim.
