On this 109,000-ton ship, three lounges showcase Vegas-style revues, and the casino features innovative 3D hologram artwork. Cozier places include the Wheelhouse Bar, filled with nautical memorabilia, and the Promenade Lounge & Bar, which offers wine and caviar. Cheer on a favorite team at Snookers or see magicians, singers and comedians in the Explorers Lounge. Enjoy an outdoor movie with Movies Under the Stars. Relax at the Sanctuary, an adults-only retreat. Browse through original prints at the fine arts gallery, check out the CD-Rom computer terminals in the library, write postcards in the Writing Room, or join new friends in the Players Card Room for a game of bridge or checkers. There's even a wedding chapel. This ship features no less than nine places to snack or dine. Sabatini's serves Italian cuisine, and Sterling Steakhouse features steakhouse fare. Horizon Court, open 24 hours, offers breakfast and lunch buffets and casual sit-down dinners. There's a poolside pizzeria, ice cream bar and grill serving hamburgers and hot dogs. For late-night fun, take the glass-enclosed skywalk to the disco, suspended above the stern of the ship.
