If not, you need to brush up on your cruise lingo before you board the ship.<\/p>\n<p>First, remember that you cruise aboard a ship. Not a boat. A ship can carry other boats, but a boat can\u2019t carry a ship. On the ship (or an island), the side that faces into wind is called windward. The side of the ship or island that faces away from the wind is called leeward.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to remember everything. Celebrity Cruises offers a free <a title=\"Celebrity's Cruise Lingo app\" href=\"http:\/\/www.celebritycruises.com\/htmlpage\/mobile_gateway\">Cruise Lingo app <\/a>you can download into your iPhone or Android phone. The app contains more than 40 cruise phrases, as well as a tip calculator and a few other goodies.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few important bits of cruise lingo to get you started. Let&#8217;s start with six people to know aboard ship:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Captain<\/strong>. The person in charge of the ship. Also called a master.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Purser<\/strong>. The person in charge of the finances on the boat. Handles any billing questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cruise director<\/strong>. The person in charge of entertainment aboard ship. Often MCs events.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hotel Manager<\/strong>. The person in charge of hotel operations aboard ship, such as housekeeping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steward<\/strong>. The person who takes care of your cabin. Make sure you leave a tip each day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hand<\/strong>. Any crewmember aboard ship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are eight cruise terms to know before you board:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Embark<\/strong>. The act of going onboard the ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disembark<\/strong>. The act of leaving the ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gangway<\/strong>. The raised platform that connects the dock to the ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stateroom<\/strong>. Any private room or compartment aboard ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Berth<\/strong>. The sleeping space aboard ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Head<\/strong>. The term for bathroom aboard ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pitch<\/strong>. The rise and fall of the ship, forward and backward, as it cruises.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roll<\/strong>. The side-to-side movement of the ship as it cruises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And ten cruise terms to know about the boat:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bow<\/strong>. The front of the ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Midship<\/strong>. The middle of the ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stern<\/strong>. The back of the ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Port<\/strong>. If you\u2019re facing the bow, it\u2019s the left side of the ship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Starboard<\/strong>. If you\u2019re facing the bow, it\u2019s the right side.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bridge<\/strong>. The ship\u2019s control room at the bow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Galley<\/strong>.
