The Staatendam has a prominade deck that measures about 1/10th of a mile in circumference. Walking this deck was a popular way to both get some exercise and view the passing scenery. Many of the people on board were getting up in age, above 70, but I was surprised at how many of them carried digital cameras with them. My guess is that many of them can't program their DVD player at home, but the digicam manufacturers have done well to make their compact cameras easy to use.
