I spy with my little eye... on a cruise ship (Part 1).

You'll be tempted to eat and eat and eat on a cruise ship, what with buffet spread breakfast, mid-morning tea, buffet spread lunch, mid-afternoon tea, full-course fine dining dinner, and midnight snacks -- all of which you have already paid for, so...

But input must find equilibrium in output, That's when this sign in all of the ship's toilets, including those in the staterooms, makes it hard to comply with its command:


So, if the toilet is only for flushing down toilet paper, how do we "do it"?

Going on a cruise is of course a welcome escape from one's daily routine. But one musn't go overboard, unless one has been so over-stuffed -- and with no way to "do it" -- that one needs to find a way, any which way, out:


Yup, strictly no admittance here, even if you volunteer to be shark bait.

A ship must have rules. You don't want folks running around in circles and upsetting your deckside leisurely stroll:


Remember that universal rule "slippery when wet"? But, honestly, I have yet to see anyone -- even the tipsy ones -- try to climb or sit on the railings...


And if you are "pulling" (whatever), just be reminded, in the following order...


Some shipboard signs are really helpful, like where is aft and forward, and where is the port side and the starboard side...



But some signs are just too helpful:



Just as you can't climb up onto the railings, you can't climb these steps...


So, what are these steps for? Good question. And is this crew member breaking the ship's rule?...


 Finally, if -- heavens forbid! -- marauding pirates do climb onboard, take anything and anyone, but please spare these!...
