The first place you go on a cruise is, of course, your cabin. I won’t give the footage, I’ll just mention that my cabin had a separate dressing room:


Common areas of the ship. On the right in the photo is a giant head sculpture that rotates in layers in different directions:

There are pedestrian streets on board. There is a complete feeling that it is not a ship that has gone out to sea, but a piece of the mainland. There are a lot of people. After a number of incidents on cruises, Royal Caribbean installed an advanced facial recognition system that can, if necessary, identify each passenger in a crowd:

Many sculptures and works of modern art:

Let's go up to the upper decks. There are two types of decks - indoor, comfortable in windy weather, and outdoor:

Rope crossing at seven floors:


There is a huge aqua theater at the stern of the ship. There are two pipes leading down from the upper deck, through which you can go down with your clothes on. It feels very fast, very scary and very dark. You overcome almost 30 meters of height in 13 seconds, making two 360-degree turns along the way:

Instead of a menu, they bring an empty picture that needs to be painted with water. After these manipulations, words appear. It might seem like a small thing, but it leaves a lasting impression:

Molecular cuisine restaurant. The dish is called “Vegetable Garden”, and the “ground” is made from bread with the addition of cuttlefish ink:

A dessert made from a ball that is poured over hot chocolate. After a minute, the ball melts, revealing the ice cream inside. Delicious:

Every week, the liner's restaurants consume 4,500 kg of chicken and almost 7,000 kg of beef. Total on board 4900 seats in restaurants and bars. The assortment of desserts again confused me:

Central Park has dozens of stores to suit every budget:

At the theater there is a Broadway production of “Grease”. The film of the same name, based on this musical, made Travolta a star already in 1978:
