Sun Decks & Open Areas
The pool areas are crowded on sea days—unless the ship encounters bad weather.














































The seawater pool is six feet deep and kept around 82 degrees. On all four corner are hot tubs, for adults only, two of them with roofs. Near the pool is the Topsiders bar, which serves drinks and ice cream, and the Bimini Grill, which serves burgers and hot dogs. On one end of the pool area is a stage where, on sea days, a band plays Caribbean tunes. Some nights, the pool area turns into a party zone with a DJ, dance, and drinks.
Sun chairs are lined up around the pool, as well as tables in the pool casino.




























This is a pool area just for kids that include water slides and a little fountain. Parents can watch their kids from the outside but are not allowed to enter the area.
