Every guests' trip will be an unforgettable memory for their children when they get to meet some of their favourite movie characters. Get the whole family to pose for photos with characters like Shrek, Fiona, and Po from Kung Fu Panda, or join them on a colourful parade around the deck. They could even join you at the dinner table! Guests can also see their films on the big screen in amazing 3D, or – for some quiet time, back in their staterooms.

Guests can soak up the view and the sun in the spectacular whirlpools, which extend out over the ocean.

Guests can dive into the surf and ride the breakers on the two Flowriders, which recreate the best waves of the west coast. Whether guests have never surfed in their life or are a surf legend, they'll love it - a surf simulator that lets guests ride as well as boogie board the waves. With 60,000 gallons of water rushing by every minute, FlowRider is a spectacular feat of engineering where guests can let rip by themselves or try a surfing lesson.

The ship's West-End style theatre productions are outstanding. Guests can watch world-class performers light up the stage in Broadway-style theatre productions.

Guests can head for the tables for a game of roulette or poker or see how they fare on the slot machines. The casino features games for all levels of players, if guests fancy joining in the fun but don’t know how to play, then they can try the casino and card lessons first.
