Costa Neo Romantica: The Interiors

Posted on January 17, 2013 | Leave a comment

My short cruise in the Mediterranean

Following my previous posts, I received emails asking me how the Costa Neo Romantica’s interiors look like. Honestly, it’s really like “The Love Boat”! The interiors were freshly redesigned by Swedish designers and some of them look like the film sets of Lynch (picture 1), or Tarantino (picture 2). Yes I know, I have lots of imagination (LOL!).

As I stood outside, especially on the upper decks to enjoy the stonish panorama in my wicker egg (so relaxing and design!), or I was out and about at each stopover, I did not really pay attention to the interiors. Picture 3: Internet to calm the nerd!!! Pictures 4 & 5: really good gourmet restaurant.

Costa Neo Romantica: La décoration intérieure

Ma mini croisière en Méditerrannée

Suite à mes précédents posts, j’ai reçu plusieurs e-mails pour me demander à quoi ressemblait l’intérieur du Costa Neo Romantica. Honnêtement, c’est “La croisière s’amuse”!

La déco du navire pourtant fraîchement repensée par des designers suédois, est assez kitsch! Certaines parties rappellent les décors des films de Lynch (photo 1, le cabaret), ou Tarantino (photo 2, le grand bar)! Oui je sais, j’ai beaucoup d’imagination (lol!).

Mais comme je restais surtout à l’extérieur, sur les ponts supérieurs à dévorer le panorama dans mon exclusif oeuf en osier (plutôt design!), ou j’étais en vadrouille à chaque escale : je n’y ai pas trop prêté attention. Photos 3 : Internet pour calmer la nerd!!! Photos 4 & 5 : très bon restaurant gastronomique.

Dubai, U.A.E.: The Infini Pool Lounge @ The Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach

Posted on January 15, 2013 | Leave a comment

The evening, I really enjoyed swimming at the pool of the Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach. The day, it offers view down to the sea with turquoise reflections.The height allows to ignore a (surprising) car park between the hotel and the beach. But I am a night person and the Infinity Pool Lounge is a cosy space. Until midnight you can sip excellent fresh juices, nestled in a comfortable armchair, the head in the stars. The extremely kind staff of the lounge does everything to please you: serving you simple dishes that are not on the snacks menu. Such a shame the rest of the hotel is so impersonal! And I didn’t like the hotel’s design.
