SHOW MAP
  • Name
    • observation lounge: Crow's Nest (all ships)
    • Jazz club: High Notes (Voyager), Dizzy's (Explorer), Blue Moon (Adventure), Cosmopolitan Club (Navigator), Ellington's (Mariner)
  • Location
  • Deck 14 (Viking Crown)
  • Purpose
  • Crow's Nest is an observation deck which provides the most mind-blowing views onboard, especially when the ships enter or leave a port. It is the descendant of Royal Caribbean's traditional Viking Crown Lounges found on the older Vision and Sovereign-class ships. It surrounds a large jazz club, where guests can enjoy cool music shows at night.
  • Capacity
  • 97 seats (observation lounge) + 96 seats (Jazz club) = 193 seats
  • Décor
  • The observation deck and the Jazz club, no matter what ship, have the same decoration theme. After all, Crow's Nest can be considered as an extension of the jazz club, since it is a mere seating area. The overall atmosphere is evocative of Jazz music.
  • Notes
  • On older Royal Caribbean ships, particularly the Vision and Sovereign classes, there was a tradition of having a large lounge around the funnel called the Viking Crown Lounge. During the day, it served as an observation deck, and at night, it transformed into a nightclub.
    However, this changed with the Voyager-class ships, which broke away from this custom due to their larger size. Although the Viking Crown still refers to the deck surrounding the funnel, the lounge itself no longer exists. It was replaced by several smaller venues, including the golf bar 19th Hole, the card room Seven Hearts, and the cocktail lounge Cloud Nine. The nightclub was relocated to deck 3.
