Instead of placing a block of cabins in the middle of the ship, the builders have stacked the rooms on either side, a radical innovation that left an airy, glass-enclosed atrium longer than a football field at the core.

The ship includes a wide range of facilities for visitors such as Central Park Neighbourhood, Boardwalk Neighbourhood, Aqua Theater, two rock climbing walls, rising tide bar, crystal canopies, zip line and a carousel.
