Flip Flop Deck

Stars on the Water Theater (first level) is the ship’s primary live entertainment venue included in the cruise fare and designed across multiple levels to host evening productions, musical performances and stage shows that reflect the Margaritaville spirit. It features open seating with varied levels and a multilevel moving stage and is used for original production shows such as Conky Tonkin’ at Sea and Caribbean Heat Remix, which combine live music, singing, dancing and theatrical elements; the theater also serves as a central hub for live entertainment programming throughout the cruise, with a schedule of performances that may include music and variety acts as part of the vessel’s onboard entertainment offerings.

Far Side Sushi is a specialty Asian-fusion sushi bar and lounge with an a-la-carte menu featuring sushi rolls, small plates and other fusion items such as Signature Sea-Cuterie Boards and appealing roll options like Crunchy Volcano Rolls. It is positioned near the Stars on the Water Theater in the Far Side of the World area and operates as an extra-charge dining venue separate from the ship’s complimentary restaurants, with food ordered at a counter or bar seating for casual dine-in or to-go consumption; alcoholic beverages are also available for additional purchase. Far Side Sushi is included in some of the ship’s specialty dining packages and typically serves during later lunch and dinner hours.

Far Side of the World Lounge is a themed lounge and bar space that serves as one of the ship’s indoor social venues, positioned near other bars and entertainment areas. It offers a bar with beverages including sake, sake-infused drinks, bubble and fruit teas, Asian-inspired cocktails and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, and it may feature a small sushi-style menu. The lounge hosts a variety of daytime and evening activities such as game shows, trivia, arts and crafts sessions and occasional live music as part of the ship’s entertainment programming, operating across scheduled hours during the cruise.

Far Out Teen Lounge & Arcade is the ship’s designated teen-oriented social space and gaming area included in the cruise fare where guests aged roughly 13–17 can gather, play, and interact. The lounge functions as a hangout with video games, arcade machines and other entertainment options as part of a casual environment tailored for teens, and is located adjacent to the broader arcade area on the same deck; the space supports activities such as arcade gaming, karaoke and casual socializing under staff supervision, and is part of the Islander’s family-friendly offerings that include age-specific youth program spaces. Teens can use the lounge and arcade without separate charges for entry, though individual arcade games may require credits or payment.

Love and Luck Casino Bar is a themed bar space associated with the ship’s casino area that serves hand-crafted cocktails and other alcoholic beverages from its own signature drink menu. Guests can order named drinks such as the Moneyline Margarita, Aces High or Vegas Sour, and there is an element of interaction with some guests choosing drinks by rolling a die to select from the numbered menu. The bar operates during much of the day and into the late evening, and it sits within the broader adult social and gaming environment on the ship that includes table games, slots and other lounge venues.

Margaritaville Casino is the ship’s onboard gambling facility where adults can play traditional casino games for additional cost. It features an assortment of slot machines and table games such as blackjack, roulette and craps, offering a range of gambling options for both novice and experienced players; access to the casino is typically allowed only when the ship is in international waters and the venue operates under standard cruise-ship legal restrictions for gaming. The casino is situated near other entertainment spaces on Deck 2 including the Flip Flop Atrium and arcade area and functions as part of the Islander’s adult leisure and nightlife offerings, with drinks available inside the casino (often subject to purchase or promotional conditions).

Shore Excursions Desk is where guests can inquire about, plan and book paid shore excursions for the ship’s various ports of call, with staff available to describe options and assist with reservations; popular excursions can fill up, so early booking is recommended.

Guest Services serves as the primary onboard service counter where passengers can get assistance with general questions about dining, entertainment, onboard activities, billing and other cruise‑related needs, and where crew members handle customer service requests. Both desks are staffed during scheduled hours and are included as part of the cruise fare, with hotel and excursion charges handled through the appropriate onboard accounts.

Flip Flop Atrium & Bar is a central bar and social lounge located in the ship’s large multi‑deck atrium, serving signature cocktails, tropical drinks and other beverages for purchase while guests gather in the open atrium space. It functions as a hub of daytime and evening activity with live music and pop‑up performances by the production cast, and it is positioned as a casual meeting point where passengers can order drinks, socialize, and enjoy entertainment; the venue generally opens in the morning and operates into the late evening, and drinks are not included in the basic cruise fare unless a beverage package has been applied.

Hot Hot Hot Night Club (entrance)

Hemisphere Dancer Craft Spirits is one of the ship’s signature craft cocktail lounges and bar venues, positioned among the Islander’s indoor bars and lounges and operating as an additional‑charge space for alcoholic beverages. It specializes in crafted cocktails and spirits served in a warm, intimate lounge atmosphere designed for conversation and relaxation as an evening destination before or after other entertainment, with soft lighting and seating that make it distinct from more casual bar areas. The bar’s concept emphasizes thoughtfully prepared drinks, including themed and signature cocktails, and it functions as one of the venue options within the ship’s lineup of social and nightlife spaces. Hemisphere Dancer typically opens in the late afternoon or evening and complements the broader bar program on the Islander with a quieter, classic lounge experience focused on premium spirits rather than high‑energy environments.

Pearls Private Dining is a specialty dining venue separate from the ship’s main complimentary restaurants that guests can reserve for an exclusive, intimate meal. It is a quieter, private dining room positioned adjacent to the Fins Main Dining Room and is designed for small groups or special occasions, offering a more refined culinary experience with gourmet dishes that may feature Caribbean-inspired cuisine, premium cuts and fresh seafood paired with fine wines. This venue operates for an additional charge outside the standard cruise fare and typically requires advance reservation with pricing that varies based on the group and menu selections rather than a fixed listed price. It is used for private bookings rather than general walk-in dining and contributes to the Islander’s range of upscale dining options.

Fins Main Dining Room is the ship’s primary complimentary sit-down dining venue included in the cruise fare, serving breakfast and dinner with open seating rather than assigned dining times; guests queue for a table and may be paged if none are immediately available. It offers a menu that changes nightly for dinner with a selection of starters, entrées and desserts featuring island-inspired and classic dishes, and serves breakfast with typical morning fare. The space functions as the central restaurant for most passengers, with casual service and no reservations required, and is part of a suite of included dining options alongside the buffet and other casual eateries.
