One of the principle passenger decks is Deck 3, which contains the Main Dining Room (MDR), theatre, Lobby Bar, guest services, and a few other spaces.

It has been a looooonnnnnggggg time since we have been able to post about cruises. I have another one scheduled in December on the Carnival Breeze. I cannot tell you how excited I am.
