    Default Costa Pacifico

    Guess with the light scantlings of these ships above the waterline, it wouldn't take much of a knock to cause unsightly expensive damage to the hull structure.

    It looks as though the Steering class passengers would have been accomadated down there, and maybe the chief Toilet Cleaners cabin. Wonder if they used Sat-Nav
