Launched in 2008, the Independence is an enormous ship, with fifteen decks that can house 3,634 passengers and 1,360 crew members. Packed within these decks are amenities and activities to appeal to a wide range of cruisers.
The centre of the ship is the “Grand Promenade,” a simulated high street with shops, restaurants, a wine bar, and even a men’s barber. The ship also includes a fantastic kids programme, high quality entertainment, multiple pools, a casino, several bars and lounges, and even a chapel at sea on the highest deck. With so much to do on board, it almost does not matter where the Independence of the Sea makes port, but with itineraries in the British Isles, Western Europe, the Canary Isles, the Mediterranean, and even the Caribbean, there is sure to be an itinerary that will appeal to any would be cruiser. Here are some highlights of the ship:
The Independence of the Seas has many different types of public spaces on board. For the athletic and adventurous, there is an entire sports deck including a rock climbing wall, ping pong tables, miniature golf, and the “FloRider;” a surfing simulator. There is a large pool deck with three pools: the main pool, the adult-only solarium pool, and a large childrens pool. The ship includes a theatre, boxing ring, ice skating rink, elegant showroom, and a well-appointed casino. A guest could spend an entire week aboard and never see all of what this ship has to offer.
Royal Caribbean has given the Disney Cruise line stiff competition in attracting families with children. The biggest reason this is Royal Caribbean’s highly regarded children’s programme, Adventure Ocean. Taking up much of a deck, the facility is designed children of all ages, with themed rooms for smaller children, and a lounge and nightclub for teens. Adventure Ocean is open all day at no additional charge to guests. Children’s activities include group dinners at Johnny Rockets, crafts, and even a ship-wide pirate parade.
Guests will never go hungry on a cruise, and the Independence of the Seas is no exception. The Windjammer Buffet on the pool deck is a casual buffet-style eatery that does not require formal attire at any time. The main dining room offers a scheduled nightly dining time, or the opportunity to participate in “my time” dining at a guest’s choice. In addition to these eateries, the Independence of the Seas offers minimal charge dining at Chops Steakhouse, Portofino Italian, Jade, and Johnny Rocket’s American-style diner. In addition light meals can be found in the cafe and pizza restaurant along the Grand Promenade.

Creating a good film starts with a good story. These stories come into play through characters, settings and dialogue. Make a background sketch for each character, identify the significance of the settings and then start writing a sequence treatment to organize how the story unfolds. Then, create the script before putting everything together in a screenplay.
Next, make a list of the things that are going to be included in the budget. These include equipment rentals, talent fee and location and catering fees. It is always best to give allowance when it comes to budget for incidental or emergency fees.
Once the budget is set, hold an audition and screen your potential actors. The best people to look for are the purists; those who are really out to pursue the art side of film.
Make sure they fit the characters perfectly. There are actors who can act in specific roles but are unable to perform in compromising situations. Make sure they are aware of the budget as well.
Check for locations. Most of the time, best ways to enjoy movies, regardless if watching it in a movie house or when people watch full movies online, is the setting. For romantic movies, environment pleasing to the eyes like parks and beaches are perfect scenes. For dark movies, alleys and train stations make for a very good scene. Have at least three potential locations and do an ocular inspection. After choosing which one suits your film best, secure the necessary permits.
Shoot the film. Regardless if the release is for the general public or for people to watch full movies online, make sure that everything is done professionally. The art of film making should be a mixture of passion and hard work. If both are achieved, then it is deemed a success. Since you are making an independent film, you are not limited by the rules of any major production company. Hence, you can make the most out of your creative freedom.
After shooting, concentrate on all the details on the post-production. Take a close look at the raw shots and use your best shots for editing. Create the right rhythm and set the tone of the film through coloring and putting in appropriate sound and music. With the rise of people who watch full movies online, the Internet is a great way to promote, release and distribute the film.

The CHOICE — will you make the right one?
Read and Observe…
Many people are telling stories of corporations forcing them and their co-workers to work like slaves. Instead of a whip, they use fear of job loss. Many, NOT ALL, but MANY corporations have come to the realization that a terrified workforce is a motivated workforce.
This means that these corporations, again NOT ALL of them, can exploit their employees and force them to do the workload of two, three, or five people.
They then give a motivational speech:
“We all have to make sacrifices for the company. This might mean you have to work a little later. Or maybe you need to come in on the weekends. Or maybe you need to take some of your work home with you.”
“We have to do what is best for the company”.
“We do care about you, and if you feel that these requirements are a bit too much, we will accept your resignation. After all, there are countless professionals out there with just as much work experience as you, and they are desperately seeking a job.”
“You’re one of the lucky ones. But we’re going to need you to work a bit harder, longer, and without any bonuses or pay raises. But you get to keep your job so that makes it fair, right?”
Many corporations are working their employees to death. If an employee can’t sustain the insane workload (which NO ONE can for an extended period of time), the corporation says, “Too bad, we have to let you go.”
Again, NOT ALL CORPORATIONS have adopted this “employee-enslavement” policy, but an alarming number have, and many more are beginning to; listen and observe, be aware and notice trends and patterns around you.
Maybe things will “magically” get better and corporations will stop focusing entirely on their bottom lines and start focusing on the well-being of their employees, and jobs will become blissful…
Or… it will get worse!
