Iamthesea Posted March 15, 2015 #26 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thank you so much. I think the room is very pretty and elegant. ;) We also love the way Blu looks, but especially the Millennium class Blu. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxo Posted March 15, 2015 #27 Share Posted March 15, 2015 BLU on the Millenium class was created in the same manner. I have not heard of any noise complaints on those ships. I'm sure the partition wall has been created with ample soundproofing so that Luminae will be as quiet, or boisterous as the patrons within make it. The room looks lovely but I did have a giggle when I noticed that they seem to have reused the MDR chairs rather than an all new chair. They opened the Suite Dining Room early and before they got the new chairs and tables. They will have an official opening in April on each ship that will be finished. We did not notice any noise. Completely separate from MDR with the exception of the door that allows waiters, etc., to enter from the MDR which they go through from the kitchen. Where do people get their info from?

Oxo Posted March 15, 2015 #28 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The view in Blu is spectacular and the area has a light airy feeling. I don't consider elegance being next to the chatter of the adjacent MDR. Each has its own special qualities. Have you experienced the new Suite MDR?

Oxo Posted March 15, 2015 #29 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Why do people make a judgment before they actually experience something? Pictures can be very deceiving. Even with the ole tables and chairs the new Suite DR was elegant. Did you see it or use it? Wait until it is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjrpar Posted March 15, 2015 #31 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If they are serving the same food, what's the big deal? The MDR is also an elegant setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss SeaBee Posted March 15, 2015 #34 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I have a few pics from our dinners in Luminae last week! My apologies, first, for the quality. I'm no professional at photography, and interiors are tough to capture! Also, for my husband with his mouth full. Sorry, Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uktog Posted March 15, 2015 #41 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If they are serving the same food, what's the big deal? The MDR is also an elegant setting Standard practice - soft launches to test how all or part of a new concept works. Far better the waiters try out the new venue, new routes to the galley etc with a familiar menu before the launch of the full products. Restaurants on land can use different methods to have practice runs, it's far harder at sea. What is it about so many of these posts - is it jealousy that some people will be eating elsewhere or that if you are in Blu and enjoyed feeling superior in there you are now going to have the same lovely food but lose that "status" Anyone can eat in the suite dining room - just book a suite Anyone can eat in Bku - just book an Aqua class room or suite Anyone can eat in the MDR..........

I agree with you. My only point was people always voice opinions without any knowledge or experience of what the change is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted March 16, 2015 #46 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Why do people make a judgment before they actually experience something? Pictures can be very deceiving. Even with the ole tables and chairs the new Suite DR was elegant. Did you see it or use it? Wait until it is finished. I was not judging against or stating that the room was in any way inelegant. On the contrary I find it an extremely well designed space, even with the MDR furniture being used. I was not aware that the use of the current furnishings was temporary. I just chuckled when I saw the existing furnishings reused as everyone had made comment for/against the chairs shown in the publicity renderings. I rather like the MDR chairs on the Solstice Class. I have no doubt that Luminae will provide an excellent experience for all who dine there, just as does BLU, or any of the speciality restaurants.

I've tried posting as attachments as well as within the reply via Dropbox and Flickr, but it isn't working. I'll keep trying.

jules57 Posted March 16, 2015 #50 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for posting the pictures Greensuz. The pictures give a better feel of the room, which is elegant and not as dark as I feared. Looking forward to trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
