Devanha Deck
Library
The
Library has a handsome range of books, CD books, and a cosy reading room
Raffles Lounge & Bar
An
Elegant Lounge overlooking the Atrium. Coffee and Belgium Chocolates is the
speciality!
Vanderbilt’s Card Room
The
card room is in sections. These rooms are used for organised games only,
thus, do not try it for a game of your own, you’d be stared, cose to
being forced out of the room, in what I would call, in the rudest of manners.
Thus, if you wish to play a game on your own or with friends, head for a lounge
and leave this unfriendly room!
The Playhouse - Cinema
The Playhouse is the ships cinema. However, it is also used
at night for Classical Concerts and Lectures during the day
Café Bordeaux
This is
the ships 24 hour dinning facility. Unlike most ships, including the Oriana,
this facility is far too formal in its operations. You have to wait at the
entrance to be taken by a waiter to the table he appoints, then it is full
waiter service, no looking at the hot or cold buffet for a quick snack, no you
must choose from the set menu. Foods on offer are pre made and you cannot alter
the dish on the menu. Give me Oriana’s Al Fresco’s any day!
However,
having said all that, it is a beautiful room with its circular ceiling feature
and staircase down to Promenade Deck, but as the room is indoors it has no
exterior views.
Children’s Facilities
Further aft is the superb
children’s and teenage facilities, complete with
Decibel’s disco, Intergalactica computer games room, Jumping Jacks and
the Toybox. Out on deck there is a swimming and wading pool, as well as a
Jacuzzi. On the world cruise there are generally few children onboard, but
those who were there had a ball!
