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.
