I was out on deck trying to find something to photograph as two crew members came out and went directly to the lifeboat. Now, this is when I started to get worried as the water temperature isn't that warm in the Arctic Circle. Luckily for me, it was just being serviced, but it's at times like this that you make sure you know where the life jackets are etc.

Thew crew members on these ships are really hardy people. The guests were running around looking like Michelin men, and the crew in just a shirt and tie or just a t-shirt.
