Modern cruise ship atrium

Modern cruise ship atrium
With multiple fences here, our eyes are assaulted with many points of interest. I am actually stood on the circular dance floor at the bottom of this six floor masterpiece of design. To the right, in gold, one of the two lifts, whisk people up to the many balconies which lead off to café’s, swimming pools cabins etc. Just below the three fenced central circular mini balconies here, is a spectacular golden railed staircase. The atrium itself is completely circular to its full height. See Pips.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb
(Ps the Ship is the ‘Marella Discovery’, formerly the ‘Royal Caribbean’ Splendour of the Seas.)
As usual, best viewed full screen on black.

Herb Riddle club has replied to tiabunna club
Once you have seen one you have seen them all George. This was a mite bigger than most and in quite good taste with this smart design. Only prob was, that it was so attractive that most passengers wanted to be around here and there was not the seating. Glad I impressed you here.
