You can navigate through hotspots in the panoramas (see box at right), or you can click the image at left to go to a larger, clickable Ship Diagram.

Or continue your tour by following the arrows by the text under the panoramas.

This should taste good !

But there is not enough room for all 24 or so scientists and crew to eat at once, so crew members who are about to start their watches usually eat first. After supper, for crew who are off watch and any scientists who are not still busy working in the lab with animals just collected, a movie is often shown in the mess. Then it may be time go to your stateroom (bedroom) on the deck below.
