personal bridge tour. life of a cruise ship nurse

i got permission from Bas the first officer on the eurodam for a personal photography tour of the bridge. i absolutely love the bridge and wanted to get some good shots of it.  as you can see, i got plenty

today, the quartermasters had clear skies as they watched for anything that was out of the ordinary.

the steering wheel of the ship.  hmmm. i always thought they were bigger!

they even decorated the bridge for christmas

that is re-enforced glass on the floor of the bridge (8th floor of the ship).  they use that to assist them to park the ship when they are in port.  it was extremely scary looking down to the ocean below

the 3rd officer MADE me step on it.  i was holding onto that rail until he told me to let go.  i honestly was scared to death. the ocean is far below and we are moving pretty fast right now.  it would be certain death if that blasted glass didn't hold up.....

what a stunning day in the middle of the atlantic

they talked me into a pic of myself....


they needed someone to drive the ship while they took pictures!

there is that scary floor glass again.  eek how do they do this?

shhhh. don't tell anyone.

what  a great personal tour.  it is so beautiful up here.  maybe i should re-think my career choice and learn to drive the ship instead of saving lives.
