Entertainment with a capital E! Grouped together on two full decks are Star Princess’ major entertainment areas. And spanning the height of these two decks is the ship’s huge showroom, comfortably seating 750 guests. With no pillars to block the view, this is the place to see the upbeat musical extravaganzas that Princess has become famous for. 

The room’s main entrance is on Promenade Deck, reached either directly from the Sterling Steakhouse or via a port side corridor that also houses the Internet Café and Princess Circle Club. The layout of the Sterling Steakhouse is rather odd. It is an open plan restaurant that is right in the ship's main passageway from fore to aft. With its bar, band stand and dance floor the room looks more like a Country & Western dance club and the Tex-Mex look of the carpeting and artwork does not help here. Actually, when Star Princess entered service, this was The Painted Desert Restaurant. Recently, Princess decided a steakhouse would make better sense. The line charges a fee for guests wanting to dine here.   

On Fiesta Deck avid gamblers will find their place of refuge in the Atlantis Casino. Windowless, noisy and colorful, just like gambling fans like it! True to its name, the casino has an underwater theme that can best be seen in the intriguing carpeting. Thirsty souls will be pleased to know there is a bar in the middle of the Atlantis Casino, so nobody has to miss out on the action

Walking right through the Atlantis Casino, one arrives in the forward of three stair towers, with four elevators and wide staircases. Non-obtrusive paintings adorn all stair towers, made to blend in with the rest of the ship. All the way forward on Fiesta Deck is the Princess Theatre, reached through a very attractive passageway with an almost hidden entrance to Shooters, Star Princess’ cavernous Sports Bar. If you look up at the ceiling you will see an upside down pool table! Sports fans will love the huge monitors broadcasting major events. And just like the gamblers, the sports fans will need to look inside rather than out as there is not a window to be found.
