The top-quality food ingredients include premium meats, lobster, caviar, truffles, gourmet desserts (always accompanied by chocolate fondue) including Chocolate Lava Cake (with Fresh Berries and Raspberry Cream), Pink Champagne Granita (with Rose Petals) and various Petits Fours. Besides Britto's artworks, the gourmet dining experience is enhanced by dinnerware (featuring Britto's art), heart-shaped cutlery, and heart-folded napkins.

Princess Cruises SPHERE-Class ships (Dome Pool Deck)

The Dome (glass-roof-covered sundeck/lower level 1 of 2) is the first true glass-enclosed space on a cruise liner. During the day, The Dome serves as a pool deck (having a large indoor/outdoor swimming pool). At night, the swimming pool is covered to become a stage as The Dome transforms into an entertainment venue with superior sound and lighting effects and live aerial performances.
