The ward room is located directly below the captain's quarters which are directly below the bridge.  Day before yesterday I had cocktails in the captain's quarters and that is a rare honor to be invited considering there are almost 2000 people on board.  Last night was the last ever ward room officers party in the ward room.  The senior officers have a lounge and bar to relax in.  This too is an invitation only event, and it was sad as it is the last one ever.  Muriel and I drank our share.
