Completely
forward on Mariner Deck is the Broadway Melodies Theater. As
guests proceed aft, they proceed through Rhapsody of the Seas'
boutiques including a jewelry & gift shop, fashion & formal wear
shop, liquor & sundries shop, logo ship, perfume shop, and the
ship's photo gallery.
The promenade of shops on board creates the feel of walking an elegant
metropolis avenue with opportunities to window shop along the way.
Punctuating this elegance are works of art by British artist Wendy
Ramshaw titled 'Charge-Fast Forward' and Voyage Under Sail'. Both
works are of brass and other mixed media. Ramshaw appropriately
comes from a seafaring family and is fascinated by maps and plans.
Furthermore she is inspired by the machine aesthetic and finds her ideas
in the modern World around her.
The Photo Gallery showcases guests' photos that have been taken
throughout the voyage. Additional photo services are available
such as the transfer of digital images to disc and camera items
available for sale.
An addition to Rhapsody of the Seas since her original
introduction is Ben & Jerry's®. Guests can indulge in ice
cream creations, sundaes, shakes, or smoothies.
A traditional venue on every Royal Caribbean International ship is the
Schooner Bar with its truly nautical theme and intimate feel, seating
145 guests. Every element and work of art within the Schooner Bar
further creates a sense of the wonder and magic that is a seagoing
voyage.
One of the most striking pieces in the Schooner Bar is the large rig
produced by Lyngør Seilmakerverksted of Norway. Also located here
is ship model 'Sovereign of the Seas' by Norwegian creator Gustav
Lochstoer. Lochstoer and his ancestors have all played an active
part in the Navy. He started by studying ships and the building of
models and that quickly became his full time occupation.
Parallel to the Schooner Bar is the 100 guest capacity Moonlight Bay
Lounge which is very much multi purpose for a wide variety of activities
both day and night. |
