Peek-a-Boo Bridge

In our orientation materials, and in our daily newsletter, we were/are all invited to come to what is referred to as Peek-a-Boo Bridge. The aforementioned bridge allows passengers to peek down into the operation room and observe the captain and his co-captain piloting the massive Voyager of the Sea. Bill and I took a walk to Peek-a-Boo Bridge today. We peered down into the bridge and, much to our consternation, found two empty chairs. Were they in the bathroom? Had they jumped into a lifeboat in preparation for an iceberg that was dead ahead? Were they sitting in the Sky Bar sipping martinis and talking about the good ol’ days when they used to actually put their hands on the wheel? The captain is hosting a champagne reception this evening and I plan on asking him about this particular concern of mine. (I wonder who will be captaining the boat during the reception. And after the reception when he has had eight or ten glasses of champagne.) Well, I have to sign off as I am late for the belly flop contest at the pool.
