With the purple hue of the slide and the way the scales look on the fish it could be that sliding down the "Abyss" on a mat might be referred to as the "Grapes of Raft" :eek:

I see Silk carpets, as well as the rounded walls of AI that you mentioned.

 

Seems it is definitely decorated as three different themes.

Hmmm. There's more than the Silk carpet...

Except it might be different foliage - someone reported most of that has to be taken off since it can't be brought to Florida.

 

Chef Landscaper Lazlo who inaugurated both the Oasis and Allure told us on the Oasis TA in 2014 that the US agricultuaral authorities do not allow any foreign plants onboard. Back then he was pretty worried about the plants during the dry dock in Rotterdam in October. And he was so sorry that he wasn´t allowed to buy any replacements in the Netherlands. Fortunately it wasn´t too cold and the plants did survive pretty well (many of them were stored in cabins during the dry dock).

Just like food is "Subjective", so is decor. What you might dislike, someone else might like!

 

Well if we were actually going to be served Asian cuisine while dining there, I might have a different opinion. :rolleyes:

 

It may be. . . but at least is isn't one of Joe Farcus' designs.

 

That's a good way to look at it! ;)

That is incredibly unfortunate.

 

Silk's decor is hideous.

 

I liked Silk's decor the best of the complimentary restaurants on Quantum and Anthem. The food on the other hand...

Thanks for posting that Lloyd!

 

That certainly would eliminate us from ever getting a Boardwalk balcony with that cluttered view. UGH. :eek:

 

We're sure the Abyss will be a big hit, but for those folks (like us) who have also appreciated the beautiful views on the Oasis class ships - this destroys that experience (at least from any Boardwalk view perspective).

 

Luckily we prefer the outside balcony cabins. :)

To be honest the Abyss structure and slides only really block the views of the diving platforms and Crown and Anchor.

 

I don't think it's as big a deal as people are making out.

I booked a Boardwalk balcony. It'll be my first balcony cabin.

I agree. For me it will just add to the excitement. We love Boardwalk balconies. There is so much to watch.

Respectfully disagree.

 

This view will be sorely missed...it is (or will be) a big deal to plenty of folks. The gimmicky slides block the entire ocean and AquaTheater view.
