Anatomy of The Ship

Q.

1. Classic ships. In contrast to megaships are much smaller vessels, most of which
accommodate fewer than 200 passengers. Here the emphasis is on an up-close, more
intimate cruise vacation.
2. Ferries. Usually we don't think of a ferry trip as a cruise. Yet in Europe (especially in
Northern Europe), many ferries provide an overnight or even multiday, cruise like
experience, with private staterooms, glitzy entertainment, and bountiful dining.
3. Multipurpose ships. Some vessels, like those that sail the fjord-lined west coast of
Norway, serve many functions. They carry cargo, transport passengers between close-by
villages and yes serve as cruise ships for leisure travelers too.
4. Whether it's a twelve-passenger barge drifting along a French canal or a much larger
vessel floating down the Mississippi, barge travel is far less spartan than you might think.
In fact, it's usually quite the opposite. Passenger barges are usually luxurious, affording a
pampered and leisurely discovery of the countryside.
5. Miscellaneous. Many unusual forms of water transportation provide cruise like vacations.
It's possible, for example, for a leisure traveler to book passage on a freighter. The
itineraries are unpredictable and the entertainment nonexistent (except for videos), but the
food is usually excellent and the staterooms are large. It's also possible to charter your
own yacht, either with a crew or without. (The latter is called a bare boat charter.)
Similarly, many people rent houseboats, often with family and usually to vacation on a
lake or a river.
Q.2 .A. Gross register tonnage (GRT) or gross registered tonnage, is a ship's total internal
volume expressed in "register tons", each of which is equal to 100 cubic feet (2.83 m3). Gross
register tonnage uses the total permanently enclosed capacity of the vessel as its basis for
volume. Typically this is used for dockage fees, canal transit fees, and similar purposes where it
is appropriate to charge based on the size of the entire vessel.
B. The gestalt principle that applies most to space is that of figure-ground. Everything in a
design of yours will be seen as one or the other, and the relationship between them is mutually
exclusive. Neither can be perceived except in relation to the other, and changing one is
impossible without changing the other as well.
Q.3 The cruise industry has evolved rapidly over the past decades, with the building and
operation of ever-larger cruise ships being a key factor in this growth. This study examines
whether the observed increases in vessel size are supported by the fundamentals of economies of
scale, as allegedly occurs with container ships; in other words, we inquire whether increases in
ship size imply decreases in the average costs per passenger.

1. Bridge 5. Lido deck
2. Galley 6. Stern
3. Cabin 7. Starboard
4. Hull 8. Aft
Q.5 Magrodome is a sliding glass roof found aboard passenger ships. It can be opened and closed
automatically depending on the weather and is often positioned over a swimming pool to offer an
indoor-outdoor setting.
Atrium is a hub for everyday activities, events and parties and central to a ships shopping, dining and
entertainment venues. Some atriums stand out from the pack as being truly spectacular.
Lido refers to a public outdoor swimming pool, or a beach where people gather to swim. Accordingly,
the lido deck is traditionally the ship deck that is home to the outdoor swimming pool, and adjacent bars
and dining options.
Pursers Office is the 'accounting' department of the cruise ship. Usually located in the main lobby area
of the ship, it takes care of all the accounting work of the ship. Apart from accounting, it also deals with
passengers' accommodations, complaints and requests, in a similar way to the hotel reception.
Spa Salons handle beauty treatments such as hair styling, waxing, manicures, pedicures and barber
services for men. The spas offer any number of services, from hot stone massages and facials to body
wraps featuring seaweed, chocolate or whatever else promises detox.
Inside stateroom interior room is inside without a view, an ocean view room has either a window or a
porthole (a round window) to the outside, a balcony has, well, a balcony attached to the room, while
a suite usually has separate sleeping and living quarters as well as a balcony.
Suite is an especially large room within a cruise ship's top tier of cabins. Passengers who book
a suite often receive special perks, such as quicker boarding, a dedicated butler, or even a
separate restaurant, lounge, pool or sun deck.
Stateroom Category cabin (or stateroom) and is akin to a hotel room, but typically much
smaller. ... Outside: a room with a window or porthole (a round window) with a view to the
outside, often similarly sized to an inside cabin or a bit larger; also known as ocean view.
Bow is usually distinguished by a sharply angled hull, which provides less resistance, making it
easier for the ship to plow through water.
Stern is the back or aft-most part of a ship or boat, technically defined as the area built up over
the sternpost, extending upwards from the counter rail to the taffrail. The stern lies opposite the
bow, the foremost part of a ship.
Port side is the side of the vessel which is to the left of an observer aboard the vessel and
facing the bow that is facing forward towards the direction the vehicle is heading when
underway, and the starboard is to the right of such an observer.
Starboard refer to the left and right sides, respectively, Sailors began calling the right side the
steering side, which soon became "starboard" by combining two Old English words
Galley is a kitchen on a cruise ship (or any vessel, for that matter). Most cruise ships will have
one large galley, located by the main dining room, where the majority of food prep is done, plus
additional, smaller galleys to serve specialty restaurants and the buffet.
Bridge is the place on the ship where the captain and his crew manage the direction and speed
of the ship, as well as other functions of the vessel.
