This is what the crew areas generally look like. They have a quasi-military feel, with the occasional dancer walking through in workout clothes. This is “I-95” the main hallway that goes down the full length of the ship.

“Guest Entertainers”generally have more privileges than many of the workers on the ship, and I’ve been warned that this can lead to some ‘Upstairs, Downstairs’ type resentment (‘Sometimes Upstairs, Downstairs’?). So, I do my best to seem… likeable? I’ve been told in the past that I can come off as aloof, maybe it’s the heavy eyebrows, so I’m making a special effort to say “hello” to… well… anyone on I-95 that makes even the most fleeting eye contact with me. “Hello.” “Hello.” “Hello there.”

I worry that I may be overdoing it. I might seem like a maniac.
