COMMENTARY
The Princess Theater is Emerald Princess'
main show lounge. It is the venue for the
ship's production shows as well as for
daytime activities such as the humorous
cooking demonstration by Executive Chef
Christian Carbillet and Maitre d'Hotel
Silvio Zampieri (below).
Gatsby's Casino is a
large casino area that
includes its own bar
complete with gaming
machines built into the
counter (left). At the
gaming tables (lower left),
guests can play blackjack,
roulette, craps, and
several varities of poker.
There are also electronic
gaiming machines (right)
where guests can play
elecctronic poker. The
slot machines (below
right) range from penny
machines to five dollar
machines.
The Explorer's Lounge is a caberet style entertainment venue. It
is often used for stand-up comedians but it is also used for live
music concerts and other activities.
Club Fusion is a large nightspot located aft on Deck Seven.
It has a bar, stage and dance floor so it lends itself to theme
parties, karoke and game shows. The Captain's Circle
receptions are also held here.
Skywalkers is Emerald Princess' disco. Unlike the early
versions of the Grand-class, it is not suspended above the
stern of the ship. Rather, it is located high on the ship aft
of the funnel. During the day, it is a quiet spot with
spectacular views over the sea.
The Adagio Bar is adjacent to Sabatini's and shares that restaurant's elegant and sophisticated atmosphere.
Guests can listen to live piano music while sampling stuffed olives and desserts from Sabatini's.
Crooners, overlooking the Piazza, is a sophisticated martini bar. Entertainment can be a
pianist or a jazz ensemble.
The Wheelhouse Bar is a Princess tradition. Decorated in dark
wood paneling and padded leather chairs, it has an English club feel.
The paintings of old British ocean liners on the walls recall the fact
that Princess was once a subsidiary of Britain's venerable P&O
Line. On sea days, a British pub style lunch is served here. It is also
frequently used to host trivia competitions. In the evenings, there is
live music.
Vines, found at the base of the Piazza, is a wine bar. However, it is also
a sushi bar. Thus, a guest can have a fine wine with his or her sushi.
Speakeasy is a cigar bar. It is
located next to the casino.
Serving the open decks are the Tradewinds Bar (above left),
Outriggers (above) and the Calypso Bar (right).
