Steaks and aged beef come from Crown Grill, and the multi-tiered Princess Theater stages Broadway-style shows. Up top, the glass-enclosed Seawalk extends out over the side of the ship, and the Seaview Bar is cantilevered over the edge. Adults can slip away to The Sanctuary and the Retreat Pool, while kids have The Lodge At Camp Discovery and Tree House At Camp Discovery, and teens get the Beach House Teen Lounge.
