Where to start? There is a lot of it to suit a range of tastes.
Sun Deck - Music by the resident band Zeal, quizzes, carving and folding
demostrations etc
Can Can Lounge - West end style shows twice nightly which did not repeat over the fortnight except for the single performance of 'Abba' on the first night. The shows are usually at 8.45 and 10.30 to cater for both dinner sittings. There were also 2 comedians who also did late night shows as well (don't take the kids) I found them both funny but it appears that some have had their sense of humour removed. If so why go to the show and give someone else your seat!. Moulin Rouge (especially the Can Can) and Africa were the most spectacular shows. For me the music was a little to loud to make out the words clearly but I was always seated at the back so it might have been better if you are closer. On sea days there were afternoon plays and fashion shows.
Oklahoma Lounge- This is the Klahoma lounge for some until you realise the cowboy hat is a 'O'. The Zeal band plays here and there are quizzes, bingo, game shows, spotlight caberets, dancing, karaoke, disco etc etc.
Blakes - Elena from the Ukraine plays the piano in 5 evening sessions and also performs a cabaret where you find out she can sing as well! During the day the large wall screens are used to show morning and afternoon concerts by lots of well known bands and I imagine that Blakes will be packed for the next few weeks as Thomsons intend to show the world cup.
Clipper Bar - The piano/singer duo Top Harmony play 5 sessions here each evening.
Casino - Roulette, Poker, Blackjack and lots of slot machines. Minumum bet 50p on roulette and more on the other games. I visited every evening and won £120. On the first night someone lost over £1000 There were fun sessions at cheaper rates so you could have a laugh and learn the games.
Films - the cabin TV has 2 channels showing films 6 times a day. The films are all fairly recent and there were 28 different ones in the fortnight.
Sports deck - A small netted area with a basket ball loop, dart board, table tennis etc. Various deck games were played in various venues e.g. the Casino.
