More ship (did I mention it's a big ship?)

There is of course a Casino on the ship. It is open when the ship is not in port. I don't gamble and just use it as a shortcut when walking on deck 6. As most passengers don't have a casino where they live it is very popular. Be aware that smoking cigarettes is allowed there, except for two nights a week when it is designated "non smoking" (but some people still smoke!)








The Casino has it's own bar


The Casino-unlike those in Las Vegas- doesn't stay open all night long- I think it closes around 2 a.m.

Crooners is the ship's Piano Bar and the place for martinis and cocktails. In the evening there will be a pianist who may also sing a song or two. If he's good there will be no open seats and some people will be standing. It's not a big room, in fact it's not a room at all-it's open on one side and people will be walking past on their way to the theater or to the Promenade Deck .




Crooner's is on the top tier of the Piazza-deck 7. Decks 6 and 5 can be seen below


Deck 7 (Promenade Deck) is the main deck for entertainment on the ship. You've already seen the Princess Theater at the bow and Club Fusion at the stern. Midships is the beautiful Explorers Lounge where bands and comedians appear and some lectures and art auctions are held. Game shows are also held here.










Game shows like "the Marriage Game" and stand up comedians often fill the room to capacity (it holds 280 people) but there are some sitting areas across the hallway where you can at least hear the show if not see it.




Just a reminder that all these photos were taken while most of the passengers were asleep...there are 3,000 people and 1150 crew on board.

Also deck 7,  in the Piazza area, are some of the shops on board-like the Casino they are only open when the ship is at sea. They sell Duty-Free goods amongst other things for your everyday needs. Duty Free items when purchased are kept in the shop until the last day and then delivered to your cabin.
