Aboard we will have many social gatherings including;
a one-hour cocktail party, group photograph, hot-tub
party and farewell talent show. Each night we will
dine together in a sit down restaurant. After dinner,
we can watch a revue in the cabaret lounge, listen to
live music in piano bar, play the slots or dance till
