Time to party for those Media and Travel Agents boarding the shakedown cruise from Venice today - Bon Voyage 
I’m sure there’ll be plenty of photos posted and here’s a few from a friend onboard to start the ball rolling

The pictures are great - are they being sent by a member of the crew or are they from some "official" source?

Photos mainly from one of the new Sapphire Suites on Deck 9 which I was given permission by the person who took them to post.

Great photos from cruisers being posted on Facebook. Two different guests in Sapphire Suites.

Oh pretty please let Champagne Charlie be available to those of us in “steerage” on Deck 7! 🙏😂

Thank you Keith and Terry.   I have goosebumps on my goosebumps and literally kicking myself for canceling the inaugural!  Great photos and for those of us not on any social media we really appreciate you posting them on Cruise Critic, so a big 'thank you'.

My husband and I booked the wine tasting at Domaine Orsini in Corsica. It starts at 130p and it is a 3 and a half hour tour.  We should be free to meet you before or after that tour.

The space labeled "The Lounge" must be the old casino space.

Are they still going to have mini refrigerators in each stateroom? I couldn't tell by the pictures ??

According to the amenities listed for the staterooms, I think that's the case. The solo cabin lists "Complimentary wine and spirits from set menu; Complimentary soft drinks" and I'm guessing that would be in a mini fridge. Even the small cabins on Ponant's explorer ship had a decent sized mini fridge.

One picture showed the inside of it. Wine, water, beer....

Ship looks gorgeous, Lounge is a nice idea for old casino space! Sapphire looks wonderful but IMO granite is garish, could have been more soothing without the overspeckled look. Also in Osteria and Umi - what makes a restaurant think people want to crowd into a sofa to eat? I (just me there) would prefer chairs but at least it's not a banquette!

In the "old" Crystal there was a bottle of it in all the suites, not the steerage cabins, on embarkation, but that wasn't what was served throughout the ship as the included champagne. Expect the same with the "new" Crystal. So, the included champagne is still to be revealed!

The ship left Venice about 2 hours ago and will arrive in Dubrovnik tomorrow! Pinching myself that the Serenity is again cruising! 

[ctjon]

Sure doesn't look like an "old ship"  maybe some of those comments will stop.

 

Looks great

Do you think that’s the entire menu for Osteria?  Hopefully just an option or maybe for the public relations cruise? 🤔
