Too many mirrors

[Frankie Sue]

I travellered recently on the Mercury and I was really bothered by the full wall of mirrors in the cabin and the overuse of mirrors everywhere on the ship........ Anybody else had the same feeling? Are the newer ships also built with as many mirrors ?

Why would mirrors bother you? :confused:

 

Mirrors tend to make rooms look larger, so since staterooms tend to be small (aside from suites) my guess is they intentionally have lots of mirrors to make the stateroom feel roomier.

It's the reflection staring back at you after eating your way through a 7 day cruise!:eek:

Vanity issues aside :p, fewer mirrors would probably be appreciated by the hard working cleaning staff, don't you think?

[Frankie Sue]

Staring at myself every time I moved around in the cabin was annoying. There are better, more inventive ways to make a room look bigger. The mirror thing is a very 70's idea to me........ cheap and tacky.....

The mirrors on Mercury didn't bother us at all. :) I'm having difficulty understanding why it would bother anyone....other than perhaps being out dated. :confused:

I agree that mirrors make the room seem larger and brighter. There is one downfall. Many years ago on the Galaxy we had an inside cabin. I just came out of the shower when our son showed up with a friend. I grabbed a towel and "hid" behind the wall only to have my entire back end reflected in the full length, wall-to-wall mirror behind me!

I bet that was one of the most memorable "moments" of the cruise for the two 'victims" :eek:. :p

 

Love to hear how they tell it! Bet you it's pretty funny. :D

Won't be a problem much longer on the Mercury...

Oh my! That is one good reason to eliminate the mirrors. :eek:

Don, I was thinking the same thing.

We like the mirrors, but then we are fairly attractive people.

This is a funny thread. I agree that all those mirrors are a bit much. But what I found ironic is that, with all those mirrors, I had a hard time finding one that I could see my entire outfit - from head to toe - in. The one in the hallway by the bathroom was too close (I prefer to see how I look form more of a distance). And the big one behind the bed is covered by that big piece of art. And the one over the desk doesn't allow me to see my bottom half. Quirky, I know! :D

I think they should have mirrors on the ceiling also:D

Very funny stories and comments. We actually don't mind the mirrors and do agree that they seem to make the cabin look larger. You don't have to look in them!

[cb at sea]

Are you a vampire???? Werewolf???? (I don't remember which is afraid of mirrors!)

I like mirrors!

[Karynanne]

Add that comment to your next questionaire. It could give the ships a very "Vegas" look.

Only over the bed...

[Bundles917]

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who is the most insecure of all?

Mirrors tend to make rooms look larger.

 

Somehow they tend to make my body look larger, too. Not sure why that happens.:rolleyes: Still doesn't stop me from eating...Hmmm, maybe that's the real reason for them-to save on ship's food expenses by making people self-conscious. If so, it's not working.;)

well...if people didn't stick their fingers on them all the time

They should have the opposite of magnifying mirrors. Magnifying mirrors for the men;):D. Minifying mirrors for the woman.

*LOL*

 

When DW and I were house hunting we saw one place where the entire bedroom floor to ceiling and then the ceiling itself was coverd in mirror tiles. *LOL*

 

It was interesting to say the least. :)

 

It was like that scene in the old movie "The Lady from Shanghai" *LOL*

I was house hunting a few years back and went to an open house. There was a large photo (at least 16 x20) of the couple nude. It was in their bedrooom, but please --take it down for the open house.

Our son, at least, is still traumatized and he's 30 now!
