No this is not some indoor roller coaster or theme park, this is the view from the Royal Promenade shopping and cafe precinct to the roof. Duty free stores, clothing jewellery and guests Tour services. There's beautiful wood panelling, granite surfaces, floors and pylons with mirrors, glass and artworks including sculptures.
There is an Ice Skating Rink, I know! How funky is that, you wouldn't expect that on a cruise ship. There aren't many children on board but a few youngsters braved the rocking boat and took to the ice, the more experience they gained, the more daring that became and the bigger and harder their falls. Lucky kids are made of rubber. My rebuilt ankle was cringing with dismay.
I don't know about you but this is what my breakfast table looked like as we sat right next to the window and watched the 6 metre high seas rolled by. A 48 knot wind whipped up the white caps and spray and at only 20C degrees outside we stayed indoors and didn't break out the cozzies.

We opted to visit the salad bar for lunch in the main dining room.
We ended up at the early show and it was very good. They sounded like the Beatles and didn't try and change the songs at all which was refreshing. The seas are massive, the singers frequently lost their footing and wandered off. Sick Bags have been placed strategically about the ship. We went to the Buffet but couldn't eat anything. So I collected some bread and salad and brought it back to the cabin in case we got hungry during the night.
The little towel animal was a lot more interested in the snack than either of us. I went from a quite a few squeamish episodes to a full blown upswallow, proof that this is the worst sea I have ever encountered on a cruise ship. Richo stopped me from taking seas sick pills because they make you feel worse. He relented after I proved to him that I really was seasick and went to sleep. We set the alarm for before dawn to attend the Dawn Service of the Anzac Day Commemoration.
Everything was going well until Richo asked me, what to order, to have with his "side" salad! Seriously!!!! This was like a big mixing bowl filled with salad, prawns, prosciutto, chicken, olives and cheese, we had a Warm Tandoori chicken roti with this spicy mint sauce sauce that obviously had green chillies in it. Damn it was good, Richo the chilli sook threw his hands in the air and refused to try it. You can't win 'em all.
The Beatles Tribute Show is on tonight and we are going to try and stay up for it.
I brought a highlight pen and marked all the activities we wanted to attend. Haven't honoured one activity with our presence yet, too busy talking to other passengers and relaxing. We seem to be the last to leave the dining rooms as fellow diners entertained us with witty stories of their cruise experiences, home stories and travel adventures, past and planned. Richo even squeezed in a morning nap.
