Confined to ship
... deck of the pool and there are even some we haven't discovered yet. The gym is also on level 9 right at the front of the ship, you can watch the ocean while you're working out. There's a library with an Internet area, a casino, seven restaurants and a cafe, a showroom, a screening room, some shops and a conference room.

Islands and mainland Greece

Formed from a huge volcanic eruption, on side of the island is a shear drop down into the sea which is part of the caldera. We stayed on the other side on a black beach.
