PHOTO TOUR
AND
COMMENTARY
The Solstice Theatre is the ship's main entertainment
venue. It is the scene of the ship's production shows and
the primary venue for guest entertainers.
While the production shows feature Las Vegas-style
dancing and Broadway-style singing, they are also
punctuated by aerial acrobatics done in a European
circus style.

An innovative feature
of Solstice is the
Entertainment
Court (right). This
two-deck high space
provides a venue for
after theater
performances by the
ship's production
company (left) and by
musical performers
such as the A Capella
Group Ocean's Four
(below right).
On the starboard side of the Entertainment Court is
Celebrity Central, a small theater that is sued as a
comedy club, a movie theater and for onboard lectures.
In an area next to the Lawn Club, artisans from the Corning Glass
Museum demonstrate glass blowing.. In what is called "The Hot
Glass Show," guests can watch the entire process from the time
the glass enters the kiln until it is turned into a colorful work of art.
The lobby at the base of the ship's
multi-story atrium also becomes an
entertainment venue from
time-to-time.

demonstration.

Fortune's Casino is done in a
sophisticated classical style that calls to
mind the casinos of Monet Carlo. It is
equipped with 200 machines and 16
gaming tables as well as its own bar.
