The ship will be divided into six zones, each focused on distinct dining, drinking, and entertainment options. Among them, restaurants from two of the world's most famous chefs Emeril Lagasse and Guy Fieri , and one of the world's biggest NBA stars Shaquille O'Neal - not to mention cool new bars and the cruising version of food trucks.
