On a recent vacation aboard the cruise ship, Redditor
eatababy took a tour of the ship?s facilities (at a cost of approx. $150) and documented the entire experience. He uploaded a comprehensive 104-picture gallery to
Imgur where you can see not only the ?behind the scenes? areas but the main areas and rooms as well.
Below you will find just the areas that are typically off-limits to guests, categorized into their respective areas.
