crusing48/51 Posted January 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have a question for anyone that has sailed on the Miracle. Do you know the name of the woman on every elevator door, holding the open book? She seems to be around the ship other places as well, but she is definitely on all the elevators.

SadieN Posted January 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Think she’s a generic Muse. Theme of the Miracle is Literature. All the public areas are named after books. At the beginning of each cruise we would more which book to head towards when getting off the elevators. https://www.quora.com/Does-a-Greek-god-of-literature-exist-If-so-what-is-it-called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted January 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have been on the Miracle many many times and I don't even know what you are talking about/? Don’t worry about it. Took me a while to see all the Horatios with the names of his ships underneath at the buffet. Unfortunately they missed a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMastell Posted January 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2018 After a couple days she sort of creeped me out. :D Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusing48/51 Posted January 24, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted January 24, 2018 After a couple days she sort of creeped me out. :D Take care, Mike us too! The whole ship's decor took a bit of getting used to, especially all the grapes in the dining room, and nude women. Mad Matter lounge was whimsical, and Gatsby's Garden pleasant. Horatio seemed appropriate, with all the ships. We are sailing on the Miracle again later this year, so we will know how she is decorated when we board. Will be curious to see our friends reaction. It will be their first time on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted January 24, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Farcus designs.....every ship has a specific theme. I personally like it, others hate it. If you go on YouTube and search "Farcus Carnival ships" you will find a few videos of actual interviews with him, and his explanation of each ships theme. Really interesting, but then I am an artist so I like stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted January 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 24, 2018 interesting thread. I had to open this to see what it was all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asalligo Posted January 24, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The first time I cruised I thought why is the decor so gaudy, now many cruises in, I find that I miss it when Joe Farcus did not decorate a ship. I have grown to really love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted January 24, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 24, 2018 As you can see from my clueless response, I don't even notice those things! Decor doesn't affect me at all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know her name but we loved the Miracle. I bet Mr. Farcus liked to party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t really notice the grapes, but those silver pillars were fascinating. Evidently, when the Miracle was built the grapes were painted the wrong color and had to be repainted, every one, by hand. For me, they lost their luster when Sis pointed out that they are simply lights for ceiling fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took this because none of us (including our wait staff) could figure out what the shadow was in that light globe in the center. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKYGSR Posted January 24, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I would suggest her name is Doora. hehehehe. :D Now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted January 24, 2018 #19 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I don't pay tons of attention to the decor. Mostly I just notice if it is low key or party-riffic. My hubby actually likes the Farcus decorated ships. He says the others are boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepeka Posted January 24, 2018 #21 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Looks like the same thing that shows the ships direction. [emoji33] A really excellent guess but as I recall from that cruise, the "arrow" shadow was pointing toward the aft of the ship. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm123 Posted January 25, 2018 #22 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Those purple grapes were originally pink. It was like walking into a bottle of pepto-bismol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
