Adding a sense of spaciousness to the Melody are common areas with high ceilings. A highlight of these airy features is the Magradome, a retractable transparent dome over the Riviera Terrace and swimming pool. A second pool and two whirlpools are on the aft end of the same deck. The Melody boasts an impressive range of amenities, including a health and fitness center, cinema, casino, spacious restaurants, disco, library and card room. Among entertainment venues are the Mercury Theater, Club Universe and Junkanoo Club. Younger cruisers will enjoy a playroom, children's pool and video game room.
