Hello Babelfish,
I got off the Koningsdam May 1. First, the getting off the ship was a nightmare and we missed our flight. But that is another story. I plan to write a review of our 18 day circle Hawaii trip this weekend.
To answer your question, the refurbishment to the Crows Nest in my opinion is nice. The tables from the Microsoft Studio were brought up to the Crows Nest to create an Art Studio. Everyday different classes were offered. Coloring for adults or children, two different classes. Water coloring, calligraphy, and for $25 acrylic painting. Melissa was the young women who led all of the classes. She is delightful.
I do not know what was done with the Microsoft Studio space. In the Crows Nest is a space for a "library" it is basically a shelving unit with books. It was full by the end of our cruise. I left two books there. There is also a large wall unit with games and puzzles and new table to play games in the area.
I enjoyed spending time there.
