A tour of the ship...

You can make any image larger just by simply clicking on it.


These are the Land Rovers that we use.  They are loaded on deck 8 when the ship sails.
Coming from the city you would enter the port at the rear of the picture


Everybody enters and exits through the gangway and must pass security desk where they scan our ID's.


Once you enter from the gangway on Deck 5 you come to the reception desk. To the right and down a little bit you come to the cafe area were people meet all times of the day to pray, do Bible study, play game.  
The cafe is part of the midships area, where you will also find the computer area, international lounge and more areas for people to hang out.


In the rear of deck 5 there is a small library with quite an assortment.
On deck 6 in the rear is the crew laundry area. We are allowed one load  a week and are urged to share a load with a friend so that we can separate our whites from darks.


Throughout the ship are many stairwells.
There is one elevator but it is only used for moving equipment and food.


Also on deck 6 is a crew galley area where we can cook our own food.
For the 40 - 50 children on the ship they have a school that is fully accredited with an international Christian school association.

On the left you will see the view from the front of the ship, looking over the containers in the port.

To the right is where we meet for services and department meetings.


The dinning room.


There are many corridors on the ship, most of them look very similar.
The stairway on the right is what I use to get to my room on Deck 2



These last three pictures are my room. I am currently in a 4 berth, but there are only two of us, witch is rather nice.
