    Nice photo Joe. At the bottom there's a door with a no exit sign. Wonder why.

    The door opens inwards, so the door is probably open most of the time. Looks a mighty fine drop there too.

    Portholes on Q M 2, 1st, 2nd and 3rd class perhaps???

    They dont have the old First Class Second Class etc anymore.
    They go by the Restaraunt you book for. The top suites are the Grills, Queens Grill, Princess Grill, They have beautiful suites, big Private balconies, upstairs and downstairs on two decks, some have private Butler 24 hours, private lift, His and Hers marble bathrooms with gold taps, also a guest bathroom. bedroom, lounge and dining room for private entertaining with your butler service.
    Then Britannia Restaraunt, the cabins are ,... inside cabin, outside Ocean View cabin. Hull Balcony cabin on deck five and six then glass balcony cabins on deck eight upwards., dont book deck eight balcony cabin they have a wonderful view of the side of a lifeboat, instead of the ocean..All varuious prices, cheapest is Inside cabin.
    All the ships facilities are for everyone.

    CORRECTED.
    Top ones, Is Deck five Hull Balcony cabins
    Is Deck 4 Ocean view cabins
    Is Deck 3 is the Queens Room,
    Is Deck 2 Golden Lion Pub
    Nice photo Joe. At the bottom there's a door with a no exit sign. Wonder why.
    5 the shell door with the `No Exit` sign on was open and the sign would be facing inboard. obviously someone has partly closed it. It would probably have a small gangway to it

    I've been reading a load of Clive Cussler tosh called 'Plague Ship'. Off work sick with a double whammy of a chest and kidney infection and have to pass the time somehow.
    Anyway, at one point the hero swings from his own ship to the cruise ship, via a grappling iron and rope. He swings against a large porthole and crashes through, unharmed, into the ship.
    Absolute rubbish - that thick and reinforced glass would have been left with nothing but a bloody smear on it and our hero would have slid down the side of the ship to become fish food.

    Get well soon Kevin. Don't go wetting the bed with that kidney infection. You probably loused up your tapping off chances too.

    What's up with your romancing mode. If the guy wants to swing in a porthole, let him. He'd look stupid opening a door.

    1, The top ones are cabins with a `Hull Balcony` others above are balcony cabins with glass fronts.
    2, next one down is the Britannia Restaraunt.
    3, is the Casino
    4, this one is the Golden Lion Bar, the pub.

    Nice photo Joe. At the bottom there's a door with a no exit sign. Wonder why.

    You're a mine of information on ships Captain. You certainly know your stuff. Keep it up.

    Swinging through what is probably 2 inch thick armoured glass isn't going to leave him in much of a state for romance!

    And all because the lady loves...bandaging broken bones, treating multiple cuts and grazes, and stopping arterial bleeding.

    Wouldn't have worked for him - he'd have suffered those injuries without actually having broken through the glass. He'd be in the sea leaving a nice slick for the nobbies to follow!

    A lot of walls would be easier propositions than this type of glass - but I'm giving up now as you are determined to remain unconvinced.
    You're not Clive Cussler in disguise, are you?
