    "Dog Bone Doors" - the reason for the circular sections in the corners of the door openings is to avoid cracks when the ship hull moves and flexes. A normal corner acts as a point of stress concentration and can initiate cracks.
    Another awsome video - can't wait for the next one. Not tried Cunard yet but this series of videos is really making us want to book Queen Anne.

Take a look here at what he uses: www.andyandkirstie.com/gear
