The public spaces on Maestoso Deck begin with the balcony of the three deck high Teatro La Scala, which has excellent sightlines and a myriad of technical enhancements to make each show a spectacle. This view is facing port from the balcony.
Port and starboard passageways lead through the Sanremo Casino. This view is facing aft on the starboard side.
The aft portion of the Sanremo Casino has its own dedicated bar.
From Sanremo, port and starboard galleries lead aft. This is the starboard gallery (just outside the Library) facing aft.
The Library's bright yellow leather seating is nicely offset by rich brown carpeting and traditional wood tones.
Meanwhile, on the port side, there is the other gallery, shown facing aft.
The Library's complement on the port side, the Card Room, is similarly appointed.
Kaito Sushi Bar follows (shown facing port), introducing an entirely new type of a la carte dining to the MSC fleet.
The upper balcony of the atrium is next. This view is facing aft toward the backlit waterfall.
A dedicated cigar smoking room is lines the atrium's starboard side. This is a forward facing view.
The artwork in the cigar smoking room features paintings of American cinema icons of the 20th century.
The futuristic Cyber Cafe, shown facing aft, features golf- tee seating.
The handsome L'Enoteca Wine Bar follows the atrium. This is the forward corner of the starboard side, facing aft.
