PART ONE

Where am I ?, Well mid Atlantic actually, and travelling over a relatively smooth, rough ocean. The decks are closed again as they always seem to be on transatlantic crossings during the winter months and everyone appears to be inside sitting or eating mainly in the same place as I would like to be. It seems to me that as many cheap seats as possible have been shoehorned into this ship and it really shows as there are rarely any empty spaces in the popular venues due mainly to the fact that no deck seating is available in the periods of high wind and heavy seas, Perhaps you need a bigger ship guys!!

The "Ships Time" is a very important factor during transatlantic crossings and it can be seen that the time changes on a regular basis either forward or backwards dependent on direction of travel. There are a few clocks to be seen, a couple on Deck 7, the promenade deck, three times around to a mile, but none anywhere really noticeable, some in the bars, restaurants or lounges, which seems strange, and most that are visible tell different times. In our Princess Suite there is no clock other than on The Voyage Information Chanel on the TV, which will reset itself after a while when you turn it on in the morning, it's certainly not high tech in any reach of one’s imagination and because it's confusing you may miss your dinner appointment or the quiz in the pub, perhaps even your lecture in advanced Astrophysics, yes you can get almost anything you want whenever you want as long as you keep up with what the time is.
