The Retreat is a private cabana area at the very top of the ship. Guests rent a cabana for a day or for the whole cruise, with a specialty breakfast and lunch menu, snacks, bar service and cabana stewards who bring whatever is needed. The larger corner cabanas fit two to four people and catch a breeze, while the smaller ones have two loungers, privacy curtains and a table. A sun deck sits just above.

The Lido Market is the ship's complimentary casual dining spot, with window seating in tables for two up to eight. An Asian station serves dishes like Thai food and sushi most days. Hot stations change daily, sandwiches come ready to grab or made to order, and a large salad bar tosses any salad guests like. Coffee, tea and lemonade stations sit at both ends, and the dessert and ice cream station gets plenty of attention.

All the way aft, past the Sea View Bar, the Sea View Pool is an adults-only space with tables for dining outside, loungers and a pool guests can sit beside with their feet in the water. Behind the pool is a big open deck that fills with loungers in the tropics and hosts receptions and themed parties on other nights. Extra shade structures were added, and the bartender has some of the best views on board.

The Lido Pool sits under the Magradome, a retractable glass roof that slides open on sunny days and closes in cold weather, which makes it ideal for Alaska. Hot tubs, padded loungers and a giant mister surround the pool, and ping pong tables are close by. The Lido Bar is a social hub, and the Dive-In serves complimentary burgers, hot dogs and fries cooked on a full grill, with its own signature sauce.

The Greenhouse Spa offers massages, a full salon and barber chair with ocean views, couples treatment rooms and a relaxation room for before and after treatments. The Elemis seaweed wrap on a dry float bed is the most popular treatment, and it books up fast. The Thermal Suite is a paid pass, with a hydrotherapy pool full of bubbles and jets, three steam rooms and heated stone loungers facing the sea.

The Crow's Nest sits at the very top front of the ship. Comfy seats and couches face big forward windows, and a screen shows what the captain sees, from arrival times to wind and sailing speed. The space includes a library and board games, and the coffee shop added during the renovation turns into a bar for happy hour. Returning Mariners gather here for their welcome reception on embarkation day.

The Neptune Lounge is a private space for guests in Neptune and Pinnacle Suites. A concierge handles reservations on board and on land, and snacks, desserts, coffee, teas and juices are set out through the day. The lounge got a full makeover during the renovation, with couches, love seats, a large table, games and puzzles. It works as a quiet place to read by day and a social spot in the evening.

Pinnacle Grill has been Holland America's signature steakhouse from the very beginning, serving fine cuts of beef and seafood with an award-winning wine list. Tables by the windows, booths and settings from two to ten people fill the room. Across the way, the Pinnacle Bar is a gathering spot for a drink before dinner. Specialty dining carries an extra charge, though some fares and packages include a specialty night.
