Vision Of The Seas

The two-tier Masquerade Theatre forward of decks 3 and 4 seats 853 guests and features nightly entertainment including contemporary musical stage productions, comedians, singers and dancers.

As its name suggests, the theatre decor is influenced by 15th century masquerade balls with a court jester holding two masks greeting guests as they enter the venue and theatre curtains decorated with a detailed scene reminiscent of people attending such events. During Vision’s revitalisation in October 2013, the theatre received some upgrades.

Other events taking place in the theatre include afternoon and evening movies, bingo and the popular Love and Marriage Game show.

The Some Enchanted Evening Lounge overlooks the wake of the ship through its large windows and sits aft of deck 6, offering a light and airy atmosphere for guests to enjoy along with a large central dance floor and its own bar.

With a model of a lighthouse at the entrance to the venue, the large (300 seat) lounge acts as the ships second entertainment venue with a host of entertainment and activities taking place throughout the day and night from seminars, enrichment lectures, live art auctions and trivia competitions to karaoke and game shows including The Quest game show and Majority Rules.

The 241 seat Casino Royale on deck 5 is the ships glittering casino offering games including blackjack, roulette, Texas Hold’Em and craps along with a wide range of slot machines of differing denominations.

Decorated with electric orbs and gold statues of glamorous ladies accompanied by bright neon lighting, the area is also served by its own bar.

Tournaments are held in the casino (charges apply) as are complimentary gaming sessions for guests to learn the basic strategy of all the games available in the casino.

All portraits taken by the ships onboard photographers are displayed on deck 6 in the Photo Gallery for guests to view and purchase. The area features an interactive photo kiosk which utilises advanced facial recognition technology to quickly display guests photos.

Also available in the Photo Gallery are duty free cameras, photographic equipment and photo developing services along with portrait photo packages.

The collection of Centrum Shops midship of deck 6 offer an array of merchandise ranging from logo items, perfume and jewellery to liquor, sundries in the General Store (selling a range of items guests may have forgotten to pack or run out of) and cruise wear.

The Centrum on deck 4 is the ship's central seven-story atrium surrounded by bars, lounges and shops which acts as an entertainment venue with activities, parties and other events including classic strings music, dance music, ballroom dance classes, line dancing classes and a Rock Britannia dance party, live horse racing events, sushi demonstrations and golf putting competitions.

The Centrum also plays host to the new aerial shows where the ships dancers perform on wires from the top to the bottom of the Centrum with dramatic lighting effects and visuals even incorporating the glass elevators which feature LED panels down the entire length providing a backdrop of moving images for shows such as “Seasons of Centrum”.

The new outdoor movie screen on deck 9 above the outdoor pool, installed during Vision’s refurbishment in October 2013, airs first-run movies, big time sporting events and music concerts throughout the day and evening.
