This Latin American bar has a fun decor, with fun drinks and a dance floor to match.




































Boleros is decorated in bright orange and red tones, features comfortable leather armchairs, and has a number of heavy, wooden, egg-shaped tables, and it would be a wonderful place to hang out at night if not for one great flaw: An incredibly smoky smell that is so intense that smokers and non-smokers alike will quickly become uncomfortable in it. This is a result of Boleros being one of just a few places inside the ship where smoking is allowed. Day and night, the lounge is a veritable way station for smokers who stop by for a quick hit of nicotine and, as a result, its fabric and furniture has become completely ruined with a permanently embedded smoky smell that will permeat your clothes after just a few minutes. We suspect the ventilation in this space is not adequate for its use.
Being a bar with a Latin flair, Boleros offers a lot of rum and tequila-based drinks like caipirinhas, mojitos, and wines from that region. Beer and other mixed drinks are also available. Most cocktails start around $6, while beer and wine start around $4.25 per drink.
Boleros hosts the occasional live band and is a great spot to dance.
