Cruise Ships: Keeper of the Keys

Like most men, my husband has trouble keeping track of his stuff and a minor source of irritation whenever we get ready to go out is his question, "Where are my keys?"

I can't even begin to imagine the task of knowing how to locate just the right key when there are 4,528 of them, as there are for Holland America Line's soon-to-launch Eurodam. How do they do it? The Eurodam News Blog offers insight into the tagging and distribution of all the keys necessary to open doors, offices, lockers, steward stations, and more. Which departments have the most? If you guessed Engineering and Housekeeping, you'd be right. And what department has the least? It's the Medical staff.

If you've ever wondered what happens when you lock your cabin safe and can't get into it, I have the answer (from personal experience). Have no fear, there's someone who can get into every safe onboard and reset yours so you can use it.

Aren't you glad all you have to worry about is your cabin key card?

Coming up next month: Watch for Cruise Diva's blog live from the Eurodam.
