What is bridge of a cruise ship?

The bridge of a cruise ship is the command center of the vessel, where the captain and navigation officers control the ship's movements. It is located on the upper level of the ship and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area. The bridge contains advanced navigation and communication systems including radar, GPS, and sonar, to ensure the safe operation of the ship. The bridge is also equipped with a steering area and a ship's engine control room for propulsion control. The crew on the bridge work closely together to monitor weather conditions, track the ship's position and speed, and communicate with other vessels and ports. Safety and security procedures are also dictated from the bridge, including emergency procedures, fire drills, and evacuation plans in case of any emergency situations.
