some steep stairs directly to the Cargo Hold. Beyond the 1st Floor and at the
front of the ferry is the Captains Quarters and Bridge where the Captain steers
the ferry.
On the 2nd Floor, Players will find a grand dining room that appears to be very
old with only minor restorations. A stage sits at the far end of this floor where
bands play live music, there is also a large area for couples to dance near the
stage.
The 3rd Floor is an open deck with access to a small bar, from here travelers
can enjoy the breeze from the sea and a drink, this area is usually crowded and
quite small, seating is first-come-first-served up here.
