SuperStar Virgo

As anyone who's traveled in the Far East will know the Orientals are fond of strong colors, and this is reflected in the warm, rich tones of SuperStar Virgo's public rooms.

There is a touch of garishness about the three huge, prancing golden horses which dominate the ship's main atrium lobby -- though these are very popular backdrops for Asian passengers taking snapshots with their ubiquitous cameras.

And the atrium itself -- designed as a courtyard, with shuttered windows, a fountain and very pretty stained glass ceiling insets -- is easy on the eyes, while decor throughout the ship is perfectly tasteful. Indeed, those who've traveled on Carnival Cruise Line vessels will find this ship very restrained!

True, the gigantic Oasis Casino on Deck 7 is rather gaudy (when are casinos ever not?) and the elaborate, high-backed gold chairs in the Palazzo Restaurant may seem a mite over-the-top to Western tastes, but overall this ship provides a very pleasing environment.
