With so few passengers and so many staff members, guests will feel as if service is really catered towards their needs.
Activities
So are you wondering what there is to do on the ship? Even though passengers will be going to a lot of destinations, they will also be spending a lot of time on this ship. Because of this, there’s a ton to do. The musical “Broadway: Starting Here, Starting Now” and “Great American Song Factory” will be custom designed, upbeat and highly entertaining. There will also be quite a few entertainers offering shows on each cruise. The ship will have plenty of places to grab a cocktail and relax like the Navigator Lounge, Galileo’s and the Star Lounge. If you are looking to try your luck, there will be a casino, located on Deck 7. For those looking for a quieter spot there is a card room and library located on Deck 6. If you are worried about staying fit, there’s plenty of activities just for you. The gym onboard is fairly large and has an aerobic and yoga room. There’s a full time fitness instructor on staff that will be offering a variety of classes each day. There is a saltwater swimming pool located on Deck 10 as well as two hot tubs.
This cruise will certainly be an adventure. If 137-night cruises are not your thing, you can always opt for a 3,4 or even 7-night cruise.
