2005 World Cruise Review

Lords Tavern

The Lords Tavern on deck 7 (promenade deck) takes its style and atmosphere from Canberra’s Cricketers Tavern. This is the ships Pub and is an all smoking venue. It is certainly not a venue for those offended, or affected by smoke. Believe me, you can cut the smoke with a knife, as the saying goes. At night Lords Tavern is also the venue for Karaoke and other games.

It is quiet a colourful venue, yet it also is an elegant room due to its timber accents and modern furniture and marble topped tables. The aft wall has a large mural depicting the greens at Lords, whereas other walls are covered cricket memorabilia. On one wall there is a large plasma screen, which is eternally switched onto CNN. Generally, this is a delightful room, except the overpowering smoke that greets you as you enter. There is an exit out to promenade deck (starboard), where there are a number of tables and chairs.

The entrance to Lords Tavern is from the portside passage along promenade deck (7)

It certainly is a bright and colourful bar – looking aft

The rest of the room has a traditional feel, with its light timber tones and modern furniture - looking forward
