SUNDAY MEMORIES
AND YET ANOTHER CRUISE – 3
One of the first thing one sees when first entering the ship is the Atrium. The Atrium on The Wish is different from the other four older ships. I remember – on the four older ships – there was a “theme” on the carpet as well as the bronze near the curved staircase leading up to the upper deck.
The Atrium on The Wish is different, in that there is a “stage” just as one walks in.

It’s in the space where there is usually an elevator on the four older ships.

In the Atrium on the Magic, the bronze is of Mickey Mouse as a boat helmsman.

On the Dream, the bronze is of Donald Duck as a sailor.

On the Fantasy, the bronze is of Minnie Mouse, all decked out in her finery. And the carpet (shown from above) shows the “peacock” effect on the carpet.

On the Wonder, the bronze is of Ariel.

The bronze on The Wish is of Cinderella and Lucifer, the cat. I was not able to find a time where the Atrium and the bronze were empty of people enough to get a good picture of the bronze. But this is a pretty good example of it. While I didn’t get a picture “from above” on The Wish, here is a bit of a look at the carpet and tile in the Atrium – not much of a “theme” there that I could make out.

Many of the older ships have beautiful chandeliers in the Atrium, some that remind me of Chihuly glass.

The chandelier on The Wish is no less beautiful, but very different.

I really enjoy all the artwork that Disney puts on the walls of the ship. On each staircase between decks, on the landings before the stairs turn, there is always some sort of Disney art. And since there are 11 or 12 decks – that’s a LOT of artwork! Therefore I won’t show any of it. However, we found some of the following on The Wish that I found fascinating. These two are in wood, and covered two entire walls and showcase Alice in Wonderland.
