Main lounge
It is popular for pre- and post-dinner socializing over cocktails with cruisemates. It usually features a nightly pianist-singer.
Second lounge
During the morning, it's quiet and perfect for snuggling up with a book. Later, it features afternoon tea. At night, it becomes a relaxing cocktail lounge.
Pool bar
It's a good place to hang out and meet new friends. Grab a bar stool or sit at one of the alfresco ocean-view tables.
Don't expect lavish shows
This is an Antarctica, not a Caribbean sailing. Its focus is nature, not entertainment. As a cruise director told me tongue-in-cheek, "Our cruise has no girls with feathers. We give you real birds with feathers."
However
You won't be entertainment starved. Ships typically have a nightly pianist-singer and a small combo for listening and dancing. And there is a crew stage show one night.
The ship has open seating (dine when, where, with whom you choose).
Vegetarian and special-diet dishes are available.
Wine (except premiums) and bar drinks are gratis throughout the ship.
Servers circulate in the lounges with between-meal and post-dinner snacks.
