I've also always liked the glass elevators on cruise ships that have the multi-story centrum-style design.

On RCCL ships, for example, they rise some 10 stories through the center of the ship, a voice announcing each successive floor (considering the amount of food consumed onboard, what they should be saying is "Take the stairs, fatass" ). Then they go through the ceiling where you can see outdoors and the top pool deck before ascending into a lounge some 160 feet above water.
