The first deck


Above the keel is called Deck 0. It is the first deck above the water line. At the bow end of this deck are located the photo laboratory and laundry (depend the ship size).

The laundry is a major operation which takes care of the cleaning needs of the passengers and crew. On any one trip,about 15.000 towels, 7.000 sheets and 8.000 pillow cases are laundered! The photo lab is where the ship's photographer develops and enlarge pictures taken of the passengers. Aft of the photo lab and laundry are the hotel crew cabins where some of the crew live.
Further aft of the crew accommodations, there are the central air conditioning units and various workshops.The ship's repair can be done aboard while the ship in operation. Also located on this deck are the six auxiliary engines as well as the main electrical switchboard. Imagine the number of the switches, wiring and electrical gear needed to distribute electricity throughout the ship. The rear or aft of Deck 0 holds more water storage tanks.
