Everyone has their own preconceptions about what a cruise ship does (or maybe should) look like. From the experienced cruiser with a hundred voyages under their belt right through to the cruise newbie, these days everyone seems to have an idea of what to expect before they step on-board; whether it be from talking to friends and family, looking at brochures or watching videos online.
Every so often though a ship will surprise you. There’ll be something about it that you just wouldn’t expect to see; like for instance…
A bowling alley…
An absolutely enormous private balcony!
An even bigger TV screen…
A Bake Shop with some of the most delicious looking cakes we’ve ever seen!
An Aquapark to keep the kids happy during the day…
A zipline…
A selfie booth to capture those ‘magical’ cruise moments…
A view of the sea from your bath (or in this case the port!)
A cave with a secret waterfall inside!
An electronic dartboard…
Carpets with directions on them! (The fish always swim towards the front of the ship)…
Your own, private, Teppanyaki chef…
A private pool area for all suite guests
A mini golf course…
Six mojitos for just $15 (we’d probably recommend you do the mini golf course first)
The World’s biggest pile of bean bags (sorry folks… this is for the kids clubs only)
An actual plank you can walk over the side of the ship on (don’t worry… No one will make you jump!)
A ropes course for the young (and young at heart) cruiser…
Brrrr… An actual snow room! Full of actual snow!
These water slides are certainly better than the ones down our local swimming baths!
