I rather like the atrium. At last they have ordered a ship with natural light coming in. I found Azura and Ventura rather claustrophobic compared to other ships.

I don't like the style of chairs they show, these tend to be too heavy to move and therefore not wheelchair friendly, and the cruise lines always assume there will be groups of 4 sitting here and the tables are crammed together. I just wish the designers would try pushing a wheelchair through these bars, or maybe one or two outer tables could be designated for wheel hair users.

Bear in mind this is only a computer generated mock up. The atrium doesn't exist yet so the chairs may be a work in progress.

Isn't that so that in rough seas they do not slide all over the place?

Not my cup of tea.

Looks like the cup and saucer ride you get at a fair ground.

They are not worried about the buffet chairs sliding about then?!!!

I think David is right. But so are you John. Definitely a contradiction there. Maybe the atrium ones are made heavy to stop you hooligans racing about with your wheelchairs from breaking them!!!! :sarcasm:
