Neptune’s Reef
Spoiler alert! This was a cool retro nightclub that hung out over the aft of the ship, accessed by a tunnel with moving walkway. While some have mocked the architectural styling as giving Star Princess (and sibling Golden Princess) a shopping cart look in profile, we prefer to think of this outlandish accessory as the nod to space travel that it was intended to be. Of course, a decade after it was completed, the appendage looks wonderfully kitschy, as well.
Skywalkers represents the highest accessible point of the ship, Deck 18. The bar spreads to both the port and starboard sides of the ship, offering sweeping views both forward and aft. By day, the bar was not staffed, and it was a great, often empty place to stretch out with a book. At night a DJ was present and the dance floor got somewhat of a workout.


































The ship’s standard wine list was available, and cocktails from the standard drink menu could be ordered.




The bar at Skywalkers Nightclub officially opened to all at 10 p.m. for dancing till late in the evening, but bartenders were usually present earlier in the evening.
