The very nature of the Windjammer Café is to create a nautical ambiance and this is enhanced by works of art by Norwegian artist Nini Anker Dessen and Magne Austad with impressive, ceramic panels within.  Nini Anker Dessen had been appointed to provide works of art for Voyager and Legend of the Seas.  Often at her side, Magne Austad, is known for his works being light and open, with clear color nuances that are difficult to recreate on clay.

The pool deck located amidships on deck nine is the popular for sun worshippers.  The main pool is punctuated by two sets of whirlpools on either side.
