Signs of the Epic

 This is just a tiny glimpse of the life on board - let's have a look at some of the signs that's literary everywhere you look. A lot of them is concerned with safety and security, some with general information and some are actually pretty funny.
First off: this is the name plate to my cabin. Cabin number, number of crew living there (1) and title of the crew member.



In the entertainment office they have all kinds of papers and posters, detailing for the musicians and entertainers which hours to work on which days, and some announcements of access hours to guest dining places, dress codes etc. Here are the chart for all musicians on board, updated with our photos just last week :)



Since last year they've updated the drink menus, describing quite accurately what it's all about:



After having a drink and you go to a (crew) toilet, there are very clear instructions on how to keep a perfect hygiene. Second to fire and sinking, GI is the greatest fear on board.. But really? A bit overkill for my taste.



Now, after the toilet you're heading for Crew bar. That's where everybody hangs out between 12-3am, and you can buy a beer for $1 (oh yes it's true and it's good for the wallet but bad for the liver). It is universally known as crew bar, but on the front door it says something different. I've never heard anybody say this name, it's probably a left-over form the 80's...



So, after some time in the crew bar, if you're a smoker you need to go to the smoke room (most disgusting room, you smell like an ashtrey when you come out again). Anyway, on the way out there are some clear instructions. Hehehe.



Now for a completely different picture, me if I were a DJ (Thank you DJ Robert Michael for this pic!!!)



It's really no sign, or is it........
