OUR FIRST-CLASS STATEROOM
You remember the movie, "The Shining" don't you?  Remember "Danny" turning a corner on his Big Wheel only to be confronted by the twin apparitions?  
His expression captured the feeling I felt when I exited our room and turned into the below hallway!  Even if you do not believe in apparitions or ghosts the
sense of eeriness about this place left had my hairs standing on end numerous times as I careened throughout its empty passageways...
