The theater lounge also hosts various daily activities (itinerary-related expert lectures and media presentations, bingo, trivia games, workshops and classes).
Atrium “Grand Foyer” is a 3-deck-high midship area with an open-floor design, multimillion-dollar artworks, live plants, live music, daily auctions, and various presentations. It is part of the ship’s 10-deck-high Atrium accessed via glass elevators. The Atrium serves as the principal lobby and gathering area with an open‑floor design that connects Deck 3 with the decks above. The space is finished with marble floors and features a prominent onyx staircase and panoramic ocean‑view glass elevators. It functions as the focal point for multiple key guest services and activities, housing the Guest Relations and Shore Excursions desks.
Passport Bar is the Atrium’s Lobby Bar with a grand piano (live music performances). It is an indoor bar lounge (adjacent to the Grand Foyer/Atrium) offering a selection of alcoholic and non‑alcoholic beverages, and live music, including performances by a string quartet or other ensembles such as jazz or Big Band groups. Passport Bar is commonly used as a pre‑dinner gathering owing to its central location. It faces the Atrium and provides views of passengers moving through the lobby.
