Arcadia

Palladium: This three-deck-high theater, seating more than 750, is brim-full of technical wizardry, where the members of the Arcadia Theater Company perform visual extravaganzas in several action-oriented shows.  

Rising Sun Pub: This is one of the largest "locals" bars at sea with a fireplace, armchairs, jukebox, and plasma screen for Karaoke or sports games.

Oasis Spa: There are nine treatment rooms, including a double suite, where pampering therapies include revitalizing body wraps and hot stone treatments. The Thermal Suite, offering dry, wet, and aromatic treatments, has heated loungers facing the ocean.

World-Class Dining: In addition to the main dining room, Meridien, where six-course dinners are served nightly, guests can enjoy superb Indian cuisine in Sindhu and steaks and seafood prepared under the direction of Marco Pierre White in Ocean Grill.

Detox Seekers: The hydrotherapy pool offers a range of water therapies, including a submerged bed with water massage jets to soothe muscles and increase circulation. The Oasis Spa also offers a dry floatation suite as well as an oxy-jet facial — a needle-free alternative to Botox.

Anglophiles: The atmosphere on this ship is distinctly British  — picture afternoon tea, a traditional pub, and currency in the pound.

Travelers Without Kids: Feel free to swim in pools without splashing and attend theater performances without screaming — there are no children allowed on board.

Penny-pinching: The pricing acumen of parent company Carnival Corp. means you’ll be charged fees of varying amounts (in British pounds) for morning tea and continental breakfast delivered to your cabin.
