CRUISES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 44 safe (a convenience for those bringing a laptop or other valuables). Inside the wardrobe are several shelves on one side. Shorter garments such as shirts, skirts and coats can be hung above the shelves; the other side accommodates longer garments. A pull-down bracket offers additional flexibility. In this stateroom, guests also access a nicely sized exterior balcony. The star of the cabin, though, is the bathroom and its homey feel. It boasts a large shower for a non-suite, with semi-circular doors that guests can pull shut around themselves. Within the shower, the female designers added a lowlevel foot rack that makes it easier for women to shave their legs. We loved the cabinetry look and positive functionality of the bathroom with its makeup mirror, multiple small drawers and small shelves for toiletries, some behind a seethrough glass door. AQUASPA AND SOLARIUM: Anything and everything to do with the spa features an attractive blue-and-white color scheme—from carpeting to glass panels in the large exercise facility. We toured spacious couples’ treat- ment rooms and longingly eyed the heated tile loungers. The spa area also boasts a Solarium with theraputic shooting water streams and a large pool. GRAND EPERNAY DINING ROOM: Designed by Adam Tihany, the Grand Epernay Dining Room is absolutely stunning with its cream and shiny metallic decor, massive two-story glass wine tower and stunning ceiling sculptures. The room oozes elegance in a cutting-edge way. OCEANVIEW CASUAL DINING: We like the look and the spaciousness of the casual, complimentary Oceanview Café and Bar. It features multiple islands for different types of cuisine. The space between those islands is sizable, providing good traffic flow even during peak periods. Also, with good ceiling lighting above the islands, the food not only tastes good, it shows well. ALTERNATIVE DINING: At $20 to $30 per person, specialty venues include Murano, which will serve a blend of classic and modern continental cuisine; Silk Harvest for Asian food featuring everything from Pakistani to Chinese and Thai to Vietnamese; and Tuscan Grille, a steakhouse venue with an Italian twist, including an antipasti bar. BLU: New Aqua-class stateroom guests dine nightly in their own intimate specialty restaurant called Blu, rather than in the main dining room. As the name might suggest, Blu continues the color scheme we observed in all spa-related facilities onboard, but boasts flashes of other colors as well, including an unusual load-bearing wall that was creatively disguised with colorful cylinders. The cuisine in Blu will not be the typical spa fare; instead, clients will select from a more robust menu, including steaks. Methods of preparation will be healthier, however; for example, food will not be fried. POOL DECK FEATURES: We liked the look of the cabana area lining the main pool deck. A dancing fountain area should cool off kids and adults alike in summer.
