Symphony - Does anyone else think the Men’s bathroom “murals” are ridiculous?

[racerxspeedy]

I would never consider wallpaper a factor in selecting my next cruise. 

I was surprised no one previously mentioned that it  was "reimagined" on Symphony.  

For us it's another acknowledgement that RC's style has shifted from elegance/upscale toward "bold/humorous".   

 

 

[dmpuszcz]

I think they're hilarious!  My DH doesn't agree.

 

[Iamcruzin]

They don't bother me but they probably have more appeal to an adolescent audience who have never seen these murals or experienced the one liners before.  

This would never fly ,no pun intended, in the women's restroom so I'm sure women would see the humor. For  a man in his  fifties it's just cliche'

They are fun. Clearly shouldn’t be taken personally or seriously.

While I wouldn't place them in my home I have no issues with them on a ship.

Harmony has versions of these wallpaper murals and I thought.... RC cheapened the feel of the bathrooms compared to the nice tile used over the sinks.  

Now I realize someone thinks this add entertainment value.

 Not so much IMHO.  

Thoughts?

Just off Symphony. Husband said "if you take everything to heart, what kind of sense of humor do you have?" 

[racerxspeedy]

Obviously others found these interesting since I wasn’t the only one with pics,

i thought I should share the weekly planner and a picture of the diamond drink menu - that now includes bud light. 

 

[cruisinfromtampa]

I think they're great.  I love a departure from the mundane.

[JTBCruiser]

27 plus years in the military, this is nothing.  I'm not there to be entertained, aim, fire then wash your hands.

No, but it can still be discussed.  To me, I'm indifferent, but I have seen these before.  Usually in sports bars, never in 5 star restaurants or hotels.   Are these just in one area on the new ships?

I feel the same.....

God forbid we have a sense of humor.  If this was a cruise where I felt like I needed to be in my finest dining attire 24/7 I wouldn't be on it.  It's not a secret that RCI is trying to appeal to a younger crowd than is traditionally associated with cruising and has been doing so for many years at this point.  If you have a problem with that you should have found a different cruise line a long time ago.

[xpcdoojk]

I was disappointed that I didn’t visit all of the bathrooms to see them all, as I only found the first one like that on about day 9 of a 12 night cruise.  They are not all like that.

But the ships restaurants are more like a banquet hall than a fine dining restaurant. Chops maybe but certainly not the MDR.

[little britain]

I made DH take a pic of them. Sadly we didn’t get them all.

We have a sense of humour though. 

[HollandA]

I personally find it hysterical. 

[little britain]

Perhaps we can get all of them up here so we can see which ones we missed....?

[mac_tlc]

I am surprised they don’t have ads selling the drink packages... seems like a natural fit....

Just another way to keep you smiling on your cruise.

[F27TW]

Pretty low class.   I wouldn't even expect this kind of not-funny trashy stuff on the old Carnival party barges.

Personally I don’t find it trashy at all. That’s taking it a bit too far. It is more geared towards younger people I think that would on the whole find it really funny as I do. Something unique and different.

Ask and ye shall receive... 😁

 

Here's all the ones that I found

[wsurrette2424]

 

I thought I was transported to the Carnival board!   Just kidding (Love Carnival too!).

 

As for the "That's it?" posters... I certainly would rather the horse made that comment rather than the rodent! 

 

Cheers....
