Support Services

In addition to several bars, there appeared to be several kitchens on this ship. I can understand that it would be difficult to carry large quantities of hot food for very far on a ship in motion.


I can't tell you the name of the china pattern, sorry.


I can tell you that every piece of silver had a designated place and every pieces of silver was polished every day. What fun.


Then there was a tiny little room that constituted the ship's post office. If I remember right, the Queen's post was flown to her daily.


With everyone running around changing clothes all the time, a large laundry facility was needed. I think they said something like 900 articles passed through here daily.


Keeping everyone's items straight will have been a very interesting challenge, don't you think?


This ship was originally built to serve as a hospital and so its sick bay also makes provision for doing surgery.


If transporting hot food on a moving ship is difficult, I should think attempting to perform surgery would be a nightmare.


Fortunately, this function was never needed.
