| The Royal Promenade is located in the heart of the ship on
Deck Five. Its main function is to generate more onboard revenue.
This retail shopping district—cruising at close to twenty
knots across the Caribbean Sea—offers boutiques of one
variety or another in addition to bars and a sports-themed casino.
Soft-serve ice cream and yogurt were available in the center
of the Royal Promenade. The Royal Promenade Café offered
pizza, sandwiches, cookies, and other desserts. These items are
included in regular guest passage. The Royal Promenade Café also
offered a bar and Ben and Jerry’s frozen confections for
an extra charge. You can see stateroom windows on both sides
of the Royal Promenade. The photo above was taken by Voyager’s
photographers. |

| I believe I was on Deck Four when I took this photo. This photo
shows glimpses of Decks Five through Twelve. You can also see Voyager’s
glass elevators. On the right of the photo you see Voyager’s
signature piece of art, a tall structure resembling a huge wind
chime. On the left of the photo you can see two balconies. These
balconies were accessible from the elevator areas, not from individual
staterooms. From these balconies we admired Voyager’s
décor without standing in the way of passersby. |

| Becky and I aren’t big gamblers, so we didn’t spend
much time in Voyager’s casinos. We did pass through
this main casino more than a few times, though, to get from one
end of the ship to the other. I think the main casino is over
decorated. Liberace couldn’t have made the casino any tackier.
One point of interest is the glass bridge guests use to walk
over various jewels, coins, and other treasures. This casino
is the largest afloat. Voyager’s photographers took
this photo. |

| Behold this five-story, 1350-seat, Broadway-style theatre!
The orchestra played in a pit located in front of and beneath
the stage. La Scala was our general meeting area and served as
the main venue for nightly entertainment. Becky played Bingo
in La Scala. Bingo was pretty serious aboard Voyager,
sometimes generating a pot of over US$9000. The shows were produced
twice nightly to accommodate the two dinner seatings. This photo
was taken by Voyager’s photographers. |

| Navigational aids appear at all elevator stations and are necessary
for finding one’s way around such a huge vessel. By taking
a gander at this navigational aid, you can gain an appreciation
of Voyager’s enormity as well as the variety of
attractions and activities she has to offer. |
