Weird question - Explorer of the Seas and Semaphore

I know this is going to sound weird, but there’s a good reason for it.

 

Does anyone know Explorer of the Seas well enough to tell me if there’s a publicly visible guide to semaphore anywhere on board?

Merchant ships don't use semaphore (the waving of flags by the signalling person), so there would be no need for a guide to it. They use morse code flashing lights to signal with. Or do you mean the flag alphabet (International Code of Signals) and the meaning of the letter pennants that are hoisted? Like: H, Hotel, "I have a pilot onboard"? A google search will bring this up.

Curious as to the reason. I love a good mystery. You could always print one out and take it with you.
