The Seventh Deck


The Seventh Deck is the coolest part of the ship. There is a pool and a huge sunbathing deck covered in lounge chairs. From 10:30 in the morning until dinner time it is a huge pool party out here. The big mistake is trying to bring school work out to the deck. Yesterday, in the four hours that I was out on the deck, I got a total of 25 pages read. I did get nice and sunburned though.

The seventh deck also has the big bar where we have pub nights. In international waters the drinking age is 18. It kind of reminds me of a bunch of excited freshman during the first week of the fall at UCSB. They do have a six drink limit per day which keeps people from getting drunk, but is just enough for people to start making some bad decisions. So far, Dan has kept on schedule every day and hasn’t missed a single one of his daily six.
