The lounges on the Wind Surf are peaceful and relaxing, perfect for enjoying the company of new and old friends. The Wind Surf Lounge is the largest area for passengers to socialize, and it has a nice tall ceiling and plenty of comfortable chairs, many of which are arranged in small seating areas conducive to quiet conversation among friends. Before dinner each night, many of the passengers gathered for drinks, dancing, and hors d'oeuvres. Just off the Wind Surf Lounge is the small casino, with black jack, roulette, and slot machines.

The Wind Surf has three smaller lounges, located on the three top decks aft. The Compass Rose is the other primary lounge, and it had both indoor and outdoor seating. It was well used, serving continental breakfast in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and drinks well into the late night. Many passengers also used the Terrace Bar on the top deck well into the late night. The outdoor Pool Bar was also a fun gathering point for passengers during the day.

Entertainment
The Wind Surf had an small combo playing dance music in the Wind Surf Lounge in the evening. The ship also had a singing duo who entertained in the Compass Rose. Other onboard entertainment included a delightful crew show, complete with singing, dancing, magic, and the playing of musical instruments. It was great fun to see the crew away from their daily jobs, and no one complained about the lack of Las Vegas-style revues.
