- Vegas Style Casino: From gaming lessons to the latest slot machines to prize tournaments, Casinos offer fun and excitement. If you enjoy blackjack, or "21", and Texas Hold 'Em, on the tables play by Vegas rules, and if you relish the roulette challenge, you'll find the American version.
- The Seawalk: A dramatic over-the-ocean glass walkway, the SeaWalk is the first of its kind at sea. At 60 feet long, cantilevered 128 feet above the waves, and extending 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship, it affords thrilling vistas of the ever-changing seascape. Just as the Captain can look through glass panels on the floor of the bridge, passengers can now share in that breathtaking experience. Across the ship, the SeaView Bar goes one step further with a glass-paneled floor and drinks prepared during exciting shows with flair.
- Princess Live!: Ever want to be part of a live television studio audience? Here's your chance to be part of the fun or go behind the scenes of the onboard television shows. Princess Live! Provides non-stop entertainment throughout the day and each evening with interactive culinary shows, live concerts, and late-night comedy and game shows. You can also see what it takes to put on a working television show, which airs in your stateroom.

Don't miss the exciting Champagne Art Auctions, which give you the chance to view and bid on a wide range of fine art, including pieces by famous artists.
- Freshwater Pools & Hot Tubs: Take a dip in the sparkling freshwater pools and leave your everyday world behind. Unwind on a padded lounger and soak up the sun, catch up on reading, listen to music, or dream of your next adventure onboard or ashore.
