Deck 2
o The

and it is served to you. There are lots of windows letting in light and
scenery. There are a number of items that are always available, and then daily
specials that are often themed on your current locale.
Deck 7 (starting aft, working forward)

Terrace is outside of the World Café at the back of the ship for al
fresco dining. You serve yourself from the World Cafe. Specialty items are
often set up in this area as well.
o The

variety of items. The World Café has windows that can open to al fresco dining
when the weather is appropriate. Even when the windows are closed, the views are
pretty great. The menu is quite varied. The same daily specials as in MDR,
salad bar, sushi bar, pizza, gelato bar (flavors often rotate). Artisanal
breads and desserts.
o The
Pool Grill. Very convenient when you are spending time at the pool or
just for a change of pace. They serve lunch and snacks into the afternoon. Hamburgers,
hot dogs, a salad bar, fries, etc. It is also the site for special events, (i.e.
Tomahawk Steak night or a Sunday Brunch.)

every afternoon from 4:00 – 5:00. A variety of teas, finger sandwiches, scones
and little treats.
o Mamsen’s.
A deli in the Explorer’s Lounge on Deck 7 serves breakfast pastries and open-faced
sandwiches, all of which have a Norwegian flare. Their Norwegian style waffles seem
to be fan favorites.
Need a drink? Hot, cold, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
There are numerous stations around the ship
Deck 1
o The
Viking Bar. Mentioned before but fits this category as well. Serves The
Living Room and Atrium whether for coffee, tea, or something a little stronger
throughout the day. They also have a small selection of snacks similar to
Mamsen’s

is just outside the Theatre and the two small cinemas. By the way, the 2 small
cinemas can open up and become part of The Theatre.

specialty cocktails. It does not open until 9:00 pm.

Bar. Handy when you’d like a beer with that burger.
o Explorer’s

views of where you are going. Coffee is on hand in the mornings, and it is a
super place to have an aperitif and watch the sun set.
