Ship bow and Sydney

This is the view from the top deck near the front of the ship, looking down on the bow with all its equipment and also Sydney city.

Passengers can't get into this area, but you did regularly see staff working down in this area cleaning the decks and equipment.

In the centre of the deck is what looked like a spare anchor.

The ship in the background is actually quite a large ferry - but it was dwarfed by the cruise ship.
