The ShipShape Spa’s health, fitness and spa facilities have themed decor, and include a 10,176 sq.-ft (945 sq.-meter) solarium, a gymnasium (with 44 cardiovascular machines), 50-person aerobics room, sauna and steam rooms, and therapy treatment rooms. All are located on two of the uppermost decks of the ship, forward of the mast, with access from the forward stairway.

The climate-controlled 10,176 sq. ft (945 sq. meters) indoor/outdoor Solarium (with magrodome sliding glass roof that can be closed in cool or inclement weather conditions) provides facilities for relaxation. It has fascinating Balinese-themed decor, and includes a whirlpool and counter current swimming under a retractable magrodome roof. One neat feature is the Temple Gate Falls, a carved wooden gateway with water cascading down its sides.

For the more sporting passengers, there is activity galore – including a rock-climbing wall that’s 30-ft (9 meters) high, with five separate climbing tracks. It is located outdoors at the aft end of the funnel.

Other sports facilities include a 9-hole miniature golf course, and an indoor/outdoor country club with golf simulator, a jogging track, and basketball court. Want to play pool? Well, you can, thanks to two special tables (called STables), whose technology adjusts to the movement of the ship automatically (you can find the tables in the Bombay Billiard Room, part of the Colony Club).
