By
far, the most stunning view aboard Imagination is that of the
Grand Atrium. This space is functional for linking most public
areas together and also creates a great sense of space. The area
comes to life by evening when neon lighting takes over and creates a
light show.
Anchoring
the Grand Atrium is «Imaginative Space Illusions» created by Len
Janklow. Engineering is of Lakdas Yohalem, Inc.
The overall sculpture is divided into sections and described
respectively when looking at it from one of two directions : either
facing the information desk or away from it.

The
Grand Atrium provides photo opportunities with nearly every glance given
her many facets of light, color, and motion.
By
evening, the Grand Atrium creates a stunning contrast of blues and
lavenders, accented by the bold yellow of the lifts.
The
base of the Grand Atrium is home to two vital guest sources : the
information desk and the shore tours office.
Seating
options exists parallel to the Grand Atrium base in the form of modern
cylindrical posts and accompanying chairs.
Internet terminals are located here as well for those wishing to escape
from the activity elsewhere to touch base with home or business.
