Ship tour continued....

As it was raining on our last morning at sea and our visit to St Paul de Vence on the southern coast of France was canceled I made use of my time wandering around the ship before the other passengers were awake, taking photos of the interiors. I might as well start with the interior of one of the many elevators.  Even though the ship is like an 18 story building, with 3 banks of elevators, there are also stairs, which passengers use for short trips, unlike in a modern office building. Carpeted stairs with artwork adorning the walls, not concrete fire wells. The ship also has fire exits you can't normally use but which are made available during the Muster Drill before sailing. This drill is to prepare you for an emergency.




Crooners is a very popular piano bar which serves cocktails and features a pianist who often sings or tells jokes. It draws a crowd each night if the entertainer is good and they usually are.


You are never far away from art on a Princess ship




 Stairwell  art


The main interior walkway on the Promenade deck, looking aft


Artwork at the Explorers Lounge where art auctions, musical and comedy performances and game shows are held




Rich polished woods frame the art by the photo gallery


Nikon cameras and binoculars can be bought, Duty Free. Go Pro cameras are also available




Next door is the Crown Grill steakhouse where we will be having dinner tonight to celebrate our last night on board.


 At the back of the ship on deck 7 is a huge room called Club Fusion where musical events including karaoke are held. It's also where our Muster Drill was held before we sailed.




There's a huge dance floor put to good use when there is a band playing


The room can seat 280 people


Art from America's "Wild West"


There's no expense spared when it comes to theater lighting and sound on Princess






The sound mixing desk


Photographs evoking a bygone era at the turn of the 20th Century










By now the clock is approaching 9 a.m and it's time for breakfast!
