The Bazaar brings destination culture aboard, with the Spice Cafe inside it. Up top, the Rooftop Garden pairs live plants with the Rooftop Garden Grill and Sunset Bar, while the Solarium is a glass-enclosed retreat for adults with a thalassotherapy pool. Kids head to Camp At Sea, and teens to The Basement.
With two sea days on this sailing, there's time for Solarium, The Theater and Rooftop Garden Grill.
