It has a variety of bistros and lounges, a casino. And it has shows. A cruise ship has its own small orchestra, its own dance troupe, its own comedians, its own singing sensations. You can choose to spend your night in the Crooner's Bar listening to the old favorites, or go to a full production show. OR, you can sit back in your jammies in your suite and watch old Love Boat episodes.
