This place is huge and reminds me very much of a Royal Caribbean super-liner. If you have never been on a cruise ship and are curious what they are about, you have to tour the Galaxy. It is a wonderfully detailed sim(s) with lots of extras and is just like a RL cruise.
There is so much to see and do here, it is wise to check out the hospitality desk in the main lobby when you first board the ship. There you will find ship maps, an events calender, and a teleporting station to the main attractions of the ship. Don't just TP around though or you will miss a lot of great little hidden areas
.There are lots of little bar and lounge areas where you can grab a drink with a little umbrella or enjoy a fine Cuban cigar *blows smoke rings oo00OOO.*
Make a visit to the bridge to see where all the captain stuff takes place. These things look important...
Culture yourself with a tour of their 2-story art gallery...
Or spoil yourself in their 3-story mall. Goodness...
Another way to blow (or win) some Lindens is in the Ships casino. They have lots of games to play, but I thought the most entertaining to watch was the horse races. Go Green!!!
If you like games, they have a giant chess game and skeet shooting on deck. Am I on the black team or the white team?
Other deck activities include a large pool with a giant slide, a basketball court, jogging, and and ice skating rink!!!! You'll need a pair of ice skates if you want to skate. You can get a free pair at Sarah Nerd's Freebie Paradise that has a basic skating AO. However, if you were looking for some fancier moves, you can purchase a pair of Skoop F Icicles ice skates at the rink for 75$L. These skates are a little clunky, but they come with a bunch of tricks and fancier skating AOs.
If you are looking for an outdoor feel without actually braving the deck, you can take a stroll through the lovely indoor atrium. There are beautiful fountains, foliage, waterfalls, and jacuzzis to relax in.
Not to mention a fair variety of poseballs with romantic possibilities.
If you are famished after an action packed morning, you can enjoy a casual lunch or dinner in the Bamboo Garden Japanese Restaurant. This is actually my favorite spot on the ship.
Isn't it gorgeous? This "outdoor" restaurant is actually inside the ship!! There is a conversation area and dining area with a sushi bar soon to come!
Don't worry, they supply you with the chopsticks. But they don't teach you how to use them!
You can work off your meal and prepare for the evening in the Galaxy Spa.
Did you know the average cruise ship passenger gains a pound a day?
Work on that base tan so you don't scare children at the pool (tanning goggles provided).
And relax and refresh in the sauna. There is no nudity in public areas so they offer complimentary men's and women's towels. Classy!
After you leave the spa, you may want to explore some of the social areas in the evening. There are two boiler rooms on this ship.
The regular kind...
The regular kind...
And the kickass danceclub kind.
If you're not dancing the night away, you can take in a movie at the movie theatre (Poseidon is currently showing). However, the main evening attraction is the Zodiac Ballroom. Formal attire is required, so wear your best!!! I hope i didn't overdress :-)
You can visit the Galaxy for just a day, or you can rent accommodations. There are a variety of cabins with different sizes from basic staterooms to the Captain's Suite (below).
All in all, the most fun you can have on a boat in SL. You can spend a whole day here just exploring! And if you cabin fever, take a shore excursion to Sagittaria. I think i have a crush on the skipper.
Bon voyage!!!!
