One wonders if unidentified flying objects and/or identified such as group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class 'Aves', characterized by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton, ever fly into that open "Central Park" area above her stern and become stowaways

Actually, you're talking about "Boardwalk" and I'll bet there have been stowawys, as I've also seen on promenade decks.  "Central Park" is midship, between the 2 main stair/elevator banks, and I'll bet stowaways have been there as well.  Getting them out may be an issue if they aren't in the mood to fly upwards several decks.

Can’t believe it’s been 17 years since we sailed the first time on the Zuiderdam.

Quick pop quiz - what does "Zuid" as in Zuiderdam mean in Dutch? Winner gets an honorable mention and, perhaps a free key chain...............
