Completely
forward on deck eleven is the expansive Shipshape Spa. Workout
areas, massage rooms, and the Thermal Suite all provide wonderful sea
views. |
 |
 |
Both
weight and cardiovascular equipment provide guests the opportunity to
stay fit while at sea. |
 |
 |
The
hair salon offers a wide variety of treatments for formal evenings, in
particular, or for any other indulgences. |

The
overall theme of the Solarium on board Serenade of the Seas is
that of Bali. A self-contained tropical paradise is available for
guests when the weather is cooperative or not so. The retractable
glass dome can protect this area if the weather becomes unfavorable.
Left : These pieces flanking the entrance to the Solarium and
Shipshape Center are titled 'Temple of Worship' by British artist Chris
Marley, 1948.
Right : This Balinese sculpture was provided by Novidis
Architectural Moldings of France. |

The
Temple Gate Falls provides an exquisite backdrop for the Solarium.
These features truly create an otherworldly atmosphere that appeals to
guests who really do want to get away from it all while on
vacation.
Located within
this area is also a bar and the Solarium Café serving up snacks such as
wraps, hamburgers, and pizza. |

Serenade
of the Seas' main pool and accompanying whirlpools are open to the
sun and are watched over by the Viking Crown Lounge overhead. One
particular character remains poolside at all hours and appears to be
eager to make a splash. |
 |
 |
|
 |
Indoors
just aft of the main pool is the art gallery. Any guests who would
like to take home a treasure of their own may attend the art auctions
taking place throughout the cruise. |

Having
been initiated early in Royal Caribbean's fleet is the popular
Windjammer Café. This venue is the answer to casual, buffet-style
dining and is available for breakfast, lunch, and casual dinner. |

 |
 |
Contrary
to early days when a single buffet line was the norm, serving stations
now disseminate longer lines and provide varying themes. |
 |
Guests
who would only like certain items can find them quickly by means of the
stations and proceed to find a table from there. |
 |
What
has been a trademark of Royal Caribbean's Windjammer Cafés
throughout the years is the dominating nautical theme. |
 |
Aquatic,
lively blues are contrasted by rustic woods and trimmed with other
materials customarily found on sailing vessels.
Left : British artist John Harris' work, 'Waiting in the Sun' is
an oil on canvas piece. The inspiration for this painting is the
mood generated from the light of the sea. |
