The title says it all. What did Celebrity do with the Normandie memorabilia that used to be placed at the entrance of the Normandie restaurant (original wall panel, etc) and the Normandie statue in the MDR?

 

Thanks

Some of the memorabilia is supposedly being displayed in a showcase near the casino. The original wall panels were to be carefully removed, packed and shipped for use elsewhere within the fleet (would assume the new Edge class ships). The statue of Normandie was to remain in the restaurant.

 

As the ship has returned from dry dock and there is a charter on board this week, perhaps during the following week someone will report back.

Hotel director told us it will be transfered to one of the Edge ships.

We really liked Normandie... This change is from unique restaraunt to chain place.:mad:

All of the Ocean Liner restaurants served the same food as Murano. The only thing that differed from Murano was the decor.

Yes but they're not being turned into Murano. They are being dumbed-down into Tuscan Grills.

Any photos?

See above and I have a few more of the art pieces and lalique to post a bit later.

 

I also recall seeing Ocean liner items  on an S class ship in a hallway  near Tuscan Grill,  but as time passes memory fades.,anyone  remember  seeing these?   Used to be right outside Ocean Liners but if course that  fine dining venue is gone.!

We went to all three restaurants, Normandie, SS United States and Olympic and really enjoyed both the memorabilia and classic meals. One of X's better ideas.

My all time favorite Specialty Restaurant.

I like it how it all looks fancy and stuff, like a Titanic style but I doubt it will suite much of its passangers. I mean the statistics show that the majority of people traveling these days are youg people and they prefer a much more easy style. Also, the place on the photo looks quite dark. I hate seating in the dark

Agree...it does look dated, too " heavy" and dark.

 

We liked the  main dining rooms on EDGE, esp Tuscan. But these rooms are for everyday.  The Specialty  Fine Cut did not have a an appealing decor or vibe...and BLU was nice except for the view. Hoping to try Luminae one day

Miss the Normandie restaurant on the Summit.  Dining in the restaurant truly gave a vision of the original dining on ocean liners.  The ambiance, food and service was excellent.  Now that they have dumbed down this eating area to Tuscan Grille, we don't go there anymore.
