Deck Five - Promenade Deck |
|||
 |
 |
As
with most of Vision of the Seas' fleet mates, the Purser's Desk
and Explorations Desk are the central informational areas for
guests. They are centrally located among popular public areas for
easy access. Seating areas flank the Centrum on both the port and starboard side for guests who would like to just sit and people watch. Aft of the Centrum on deck five is the upper level of the Aquarius Dining Room. The upper level of the dining room affords expansive views of the outdoor promenade deck. |

Forward
and to the starboard side of the Purser's Desk is the entrance to the
Casino Royale. The Casino Royal accommodates 282 guests
comfortably with its array of gaming tables, slot machines, and bar
service.
The Casino Royale also hosts a sports bar, located aft, for guests who would like to keep up with sporting events while being a part of the gaming action. The Casino Royale's floor feature was crafted by Interior Design and Procurement Services. Forward of the Casino Royale on Deck five, guests pass through an elevator lobby and may proceed to the Masquerade Theater.Outside of the
Masquerade Theater on the starboard side is 'Thomas Fooleri' made of
welded sheet bronze by British artist David Gordon Smith, 1945.
The artist felt it to be only natural that two traditionally masked
harlequin figures be located outside of the Masquerade Theater to
entertain guests. |

The Masquerade Theater seats 881 guests per and traditionally does so in two showings to accompany dining times. | |
 |
One of the main attractions in the theater is the stage curtain by Miguel Condé and crafted by Paramount Parks. A central theme is relationships in day-to-day lives. Condé feels that guests will relate to this piece based on his or her life experiences, and what people see in his art often has much more meaning than what motivated him to create it. | ||

On deck five, guests may head outdoors and stroll the promenade deck. The promenade deck does not complete a full circle, however, with restriction at the bow of the ship. | |
 |
 |
Expansive glass walls along the promenade deck provide views for the Centrum, Aquarius Dining Room, Schooner Bar, and Showboat Lounge. Strolling along the aft portion of the promenade deck provide views of Vision of the Seas' wake. | |
