Deck 6

This would be another lazy day at sea as we headed back to Houston on a Friday afternoon.

Other ships did likewise

These are early morning shots. Soon I would have to go to breakfast in Sabatini's for the last time.
That restaurant doesn't open for breakfast when the ship docks in Houston as the staff are used to help
disabled passengers disembark. We use an MDR on our last morning.

After breakfast I'd have to take some more interior photos of places I didn't use on the cruise.

Like the fine Arts Gallery on deck 6. This is where they take the art from when they are having the auctions in Explorers. Yes, people do buy paintings when they are on a cruise.

It's a big space

The Art Gallery is next to some other important rooms-such as the Crown Grill steakhouse

and opposite-the Shore Excursions desk for those who don't book their port trips online before the cruise (recommended)

and for those who want to plan their next cruise or buy deposits for one there is this office

If you buy a cruise deposit on the ship you only have to deposit $100 per person  and you can use that within 2 years on any cruise you like. You get $50 back when you use it, in the form of an OBC (On Board Credit). Without these deposits bought on the ship you have to immediately pay 20% of the total fare when you book a cruise at home. As many book a cruise as soon as it is available that can mean spending 20% a year and a half (or longer) before you sail. The deposit you buy on the ship is known as an FCC (Future Cruise Credit). I bought a couple for each of us when on board. If we don't use them in 2 years the money is refunded to us.

More shops are found on deck 6 in the Piazza area

and if you are a smoker there is a cigar lounge with a bar (open in the evenings) on deck 6 near the lower entrance to the Princess Theater. It's called Churchill's (after Sir Winston)

Yes there are inverted Pool Tables on the ceiling...
