Champagne & Martini Bar
Michael’s is a whiskey bar with an old-world feel.




























Located just off the photo gallery on deck four is Michael’s—a sleek place that looks like it should be a cigar bar, but isn’t (smoking is not permitted here). Michael’s has a an old-world feel, with unique armchairs, a fireplace (that can’t be used), and dark leather bar stools. The Chinese paintings on the walls were the only decor that didn’t mesh with Michael’s sleek style.
Michael’s primarily offers liquor ranging from the likes of sherry, whiskey, bourbon, tequila, vodka, brandy, cognac, and port. Prices start at $6 and go all the way up to $191 for the Hennessy Richard.
Activities at Michael’s include complimentary bourbon and whiskey tastings, as well as a premium wine tasting for $49 per person. The bar also features a piano with the occasional live musician.
