Exhibitions

Nawa's "PixCell-Deer#24" is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection. JAPAN HOUSE is a public diplomacy initiative of the Japanese government, meant to nurture a deeper understanding of Japan. It showcases the best art, science, technology, innovation, design, fashion and food. “It’s my hope that people come and have a great experience, and learn something they have yet to know about Japan,” said Trast Howard, Senior Curator, JAPAN HOUSE LA.

Ryu Kosaka is a graduate of the Musashino Art University’s architecture department. He joined Nomura Co., Ltd in 1986 and is currently the executive creative director of the Commerical Facilities Division and the head of A.N.D. Aoyama Nomura Design. JAPAN HOUSE seeks to foster awareness and appreciation for Japan around the world by showcasing the emerging art of the very best of Japanese art, design, gastronomy, innovation, technology, and more. An innovative project of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, JAPAN HOUSE is comprised of three hubs—London, Los Angeles and Sao Paulo. In 1958, it was donated to Philadelphia where it has stood as a cultural center, museum and beautiful destination ever since. The restaurant’s interior didn’t need a lot of adjustment, with its gray colors and natural tones already designed for a sleek, minimalist look.

"The setting, the architecture, it's all there to convey a sense of feeling," Polyakov says. "The idea of peace and emptiness and quiet beauty were very important in 16th-century Japan. These traditions have carried on for hundreds of years, including today." “The experience is intended to be as you’re walking outside in the countryside in Japan, you walk out the door, and you have this long passage and the first thing that you see is the façade with charred wood, which is very common in Japan,” says Osegueda. When JAPAN HOUSE decided to open a third location — only the third in the world — they really wanted it to be unique.

Similar to what other kaiseki restaurants like N/Naka and Hayato have brought to Los Angeles, Uka aims for an intricate, beautifully plated display of Japanese ingredients (though California ingredients will also play a role). Kaiseki in its highest forms is celebrated across Japan with detailed, seasonal tasting menus based on local ingredients, but can be more difficult to see in the U.S. For the past five years, the towering space on the fifth floor of Japan House in Hollywood has hosted pop-ups and special dinners highlighting Japanese cuisine here in Los Angeles. UKA introduces the kaiseki haute culinary tradition of a multi-course, intricate Japanese dinner to a modern-day palate with a refined omakase menu that seeks to capture a particular essence of time, place, and the very best of Japanese cuisine. At UKA, the kaiseki small plates tradition comes to life not only via the considered, interlocal menu but through the experience itself, conveying a delicate and memorable approach to quality, inspiration, and flavor, and engaging all of the senses along the way.

Tablets and WiFi will be available for visitors to browse information online. During her service in Tokyo, she was appointed official interpreter for dignitaries including Her Majesty the Empress, Foreign Minister, and Prime Minister of Japan. In 2001, she was assigned to the Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles as a Consul in charge of political affairs and community relations. Level 5 | Library, Salon & UKA RestaurantOnce you arrive to the ground level on Hollywood Blvd., walk down the corridor located between the staircase and Capital One Café, and take the elevator to Level 5. Once you find yourself in the Central Courtyard, proceed to your left towards the Dolby Theatre.

In the evening, the bright lights of Hollywood are on full display thanks to its high-level perch atop Ovation Hollywood (previously known as Hollywood & Highland). Mitsue and Kato will weave between sashimi, prepared dishes, traditional Japanese dishes, and a finale of Western-style tweezer-type desserts that one would expect at two or three Michelin-star establishments in Tokyo or Kyoto. Both Mitsue and Kato come with extensive fine dining backgrounds in Japan and France and were most recently the private chefs for the Japanese ambassador to the U.N. The Inujima “Art House Project” creates a unique symbiosis between art, architecture, community and ecology that has been transforming the landscape of the Japanese island of Inujima.

With a built-in screen and projector, audio system, and complimentary WiFi, the Salon is a versatile space that can accommodate various layouts. The room also features a fully equipped demonstration kitchen that can be used for a culinary workshop or interactive chef’s station. Designed by award- winning interior designer, Ryu Kosaka, the Salon combines a tranquil modern space with multi-purpose functionality that can host a wide range of programs.

She serves on the boards of the US-Japan Council, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and the Advisory Board of UCLA Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies as well as many Japanese cultural and business associations. JAPAN HOUSE LOS ANGELES occupies two floors in the popular Ovation Hollywood entertainment complex and brings various aspects of Japan to American and international audiences. "People are getting more and more interested in Japanese culture," says Executive Director Kazumi Teune. "Our mission is to share the Japanese culture in Philadelphia. People are embracing shogun culture, anime, samurai, sake and it's all here. Throughout the year we have programs that celebrate the Japanese culture."

There are e-metered parking spaces in Lot F-31, which is north of Japan House (at St. Mary's Road and Lincoln Avenue) and Lot F-32 to the south of Japan House (on Lincoln Avenue across from the Vet Med complex). When Westerners think of Japanese gardens, it is usually only one garden that comes to mind, an area of raked sand or crushed rock interspersed with a few large rocks and a scarcity of plants, or none at all. To Westerners, it is thought of as contemplative, mysterious, or unexplainable. The Dry (Karesansui) Garden (often erroneously called Zen) is a garden that does not fit the Westerner’s mind of a garden. His worldwide projects include a song dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the Emperor of Japan’s reign, the official theme song for the World Expo, Hollywood film soundtracks, and the official theme song for the prestigious Golden Globe Awards.

Tea Garden

We arrived at this historic moment because our nations, individually and together, took courageous steps to strengthen our collective capacity in ways that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago. Over the years, Japan House has been the site of many programs, events and visits, ranging from tea ceremonies, presentations and performances of traditional Japanese culture. Japan House has also worked with other units on campus, working to bring Japanese exhibitions and performances to Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, the Spurlock Museum, and Krannert Art Museum. Another common feature of traditional Japanese homes is Fusuma’s, another type of sliding wall. Instead of diffusing light, a Fusuma allows for a practical, functional, and totally customizable way to transform a space.

In This Tokyo Home, a Secret Garden Thrives Behind a Cascade of Glass

We strongly condemn North Korea’s continued development of its ballistic missile program—including through launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) and space launch vehicles using ballistic missile technologies—which poses a grave threat to peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and beyond. We call on North Korea to respond to continued, genuine offers to return to diplomacy without preconditions. We call on all UN Member States to fully implement all relevant UNSC resolutions, especially in light of Russia’s recent veto. We urge North Korea to cease illicit activities that generate revenue for its unlawful ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs, including malicious cyber activities. President Biden also reaffirms U.S. commitment to the immediate resolution of the abductions issue, and the two sides commit to continuing joint efforts to promote respect for human rights in North Korea. The United States and Japan aim to maximally align our economic, technology, and related strategies to advance innovation, strengthen our industrial bases, promote resilient and reliable supply chains, and build the strategic emerging industries of the future while pursuing deep emissions reductions this decade.

President Biden reiterated the unwavering commitment of the United States to the defense of Japan under Article V of the Treaty, using its full range of capabilities, including nuclear capabilities. Prime Minister Kishida reaffirmed Japan’s unwavering commitment to fundamentally reinforce its own defense capabilities and roles, and to enhance its close coordination with the United States under the Treaty.President Biden also reaffirmed that Article V applies to the Senkaku Islands. We reiterated our strong opposition to any attempts by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to unilaterally change the status quo by force or coercion in the East China Sea, including through actions that seek to undermine Japan’s longstanding and peaceful administration of the Senkaku Islands. We welcome the progress in optimizing Alliance force posture in areas including the Southwestern Islands to strengthen U.S.-Japan deterrence and response capabilities, and we confirm the importance of further advancing this initiative. This tiny house, perched on a slope overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, is the perfect lookout point to take in the idyllic surroundings, comprising green nature and blue waters. Situated on one of the many small islands of the Japanese archipelago, the compact structure is a guest house – part of the grounds of a larger property, K Residence.

It was established in the 1730s and has since served as a residence and a shop where kimonos and obi sashes are crafted and sold. The prosperous business is presently run by the tenth generation owner, Genbei Yamaguchi, who is also a kimono designer himself. The square entrance to the tearoom, called nijiri guchi, is made very small, just 60 centimeters (about 2 feet) high in this case. The reason was to make the guests enter the tearoom on their hands and knees to make them leave their swords and egos behind.

Japanese paper (washi) is pasted to the lower portion of the walls to protect the guests’ kimonos from the mud plaster on the walls. Japan House gives guided tours of the gardens, exploring history, design concepts and plant information. Our gardeners typically work weekly on Tuesday and Friday mornings and our gardening dates depend on the weather (we do not have any tasks during inclement weather). If you have little to no gardening experience, we suggest volunteering on Friday mornings to do simple tasks like raking and picking up sticks. We provide the tools and gardening gloves and all we ask is that volunteers arrive on time and dress appropriately to work outside (if you bring a backpack, you may store it safely inside the building).

Tatami Floors

The design of the gardens creates an extraordinarily peaceful and tranquil environment. Japan House is proud to be a member of the North American Japanese Garden Association. Trump never seemed to consider his occupation of the White House as transitory any more than he considered the presidency in that way. He looked at both as though they were pieces of property that had come into his possession and that he could only lose if he chose to do so. Because the White House belongs to the American public, not any particular politician, presidents had for years been careful about keeping electoral politics out of the building.

We will also discuss the promotion of resilient and responsible seafood supply chains. The core of our global partnership is our bilateral defense and security cooperation under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, which is stronger than ever. We affirm that our Alliance remains the cornerstone of peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.

Parking

At the same time, from the outside, it remains discreet – if rather mysterious – in its dark-coloured, opaque shell reminiscent of the circus tent structure form. ‘In contrast to a typical house with a built-in garage, the aim here was to blur the boundaries between people, cars, and rooms in a relaxed environment,’ the architect writes. On the secluded island of Ikema, part of the Okinawan archipelago in the East China Sea, 1100 Architect has recently completed a cliff-top home looking out to sea. Built of concrete to withstand extreme weather, the architects detailed the home with traditional Japanese materials to soften its edges. The couple who commissioned the house, an art dealer who is originally from Ikema and her husband, an engineering entrepreneur, reside permanently in Naha, Okinawa island, and had always dreamed of having a retreat in Ikema. The architects had previously completed another commission for the couple in Naha City, so they were familiar both with native construction methods, materials available and the traditional, yet contemporary tastes of their clients.

As our Alliance cooperation reaches new heights, we are expanding our engagement to reflect the global nature of our partnership. Traditional Japanese housing, or Minka’s, has deep roots in Japanese history and culture, but also provides a means of art, architecture, and design. Lastly, it provides functional and practical living spaces for those who choose to live in them. Unlike many common living spaces in the west, traditional Japanese housing takes a slightly different approach. Not only does the design of a traditional Minka take into consideration the genuine charm but also the functionality of everyday life, but now and for future reconstruction.

The residence, situated in the heart of Tokyo, draws on traditional Japanese architecture as well as notions of home, designed by Hitoshi Saruta and his studio, CUBO design architect. Saruta and his team took their cues from Junichiro Tanizaki’s book on Japanese aesthetics, In Praise of Shadows, which places an emphasis on 'materials and furnishings whose beauty and comfort can only be fully appreciated in the half-light of a traditional home', the team explain. 'In traditional Japanese homes, deep eaves linked the interior with the garden,' the architects continue. This allowed the structures to have soft light inside, keeping the interiors layered and gentle, while the gaze is turned towards the much brighter garden outside.

The heavy roof and deep overhangs are an aesthetically important part of a traditional Japanese home. This roof is covered with ceramic tiles, which were unusual in this area where most homes used to be roofed with thatch. Around the time when Leonardo da Vinci was developing a system of dimensions that scaled the human body for use in architecture, Japanese craftsmen standardized the dimensions of a tatami mat to 90 x 180 centimeters (approx. 3 x 6 feet), which was considered adequate for a person to sleep on. Every dimension in a Japanese house relates to the module of a tatami mat.

For these reasons, the number of these houses had been dwindling till quite recently. Karl Bengs, a German architect, has, over the past 20 years helped to save and restore several traditional Japanese buildings, including this 180-year-old farmhouse in Matsudai, Niigata, which is now his home. Through our shared and steadfast commitment, we have taken bold and courageous steps to bring the U.S.-Japan Alliance to unprecedented heights. In so doing, we have equipped our partnership to protect and advance peace, security, prosperity, and the rule of law across the Indo-Pacific and the globe so that everyone benefits. Today, we celebrate the enduring friendship among our peoples—and among ourselves—and pledge to continue our relentless efforts to ensure that our global partnership drives future peace and prosperity for generations to come. We emphasize the importance of all States being able to exercise rights and freedoms in a manner consistent with international law as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), including freedom of navigation and overflight.

The architect's Paper House, built using 110 paper tubes, with a single oversized one housing the toilet, is a testament to the architect's well-known fascination with the particular material – and a true joy to experience up close. Minka, the traditional farmhouses of Japan, represent a wonderful but fast disappearing Japanese architectural style. They are generally constructed of heavy and often uneven timbers, bamboos, thatched roof and mud walls. In spite of their charm, minka are often dark and cold, lack modern conveniences, and are very expensive to re-thatch and maintain.

Like most musically themed cruises, Rock & Romance had its headline acts, among them such powerful draws as Peter Frampton, America, Little River Band, Christopher Cross, Orleans, Firefall, Ambrosia, Stephen Bishop, Chuck Negron (once of Three Dog Night), and the Orchestra (a band featuring two former members of ELO along with more recent recruits). Inevitably, most of the aforementioned ensembles were missing key original players, but given the fact most of their careers had extended several decades on, that was to be expected. As an update, I tried using my reservation invitation to the UDC. There were some cabins available in other classes, but no interior single cabins. 😢😢😢  A regular interior would cost $1000 more, an OV about $1500 more, and a balcony up from there.

The ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise will sail March 16-23, 2023 from Miami to Puerto Plata, San Juan and St. Croix (USVI) on the luxurious Celebrity Summit. The theme cruise sails round trip from Miami on February 19 to February 26, 2022. It's a seven-night sailing aboard a Celebrity Millennium-class ship, with actual vessel and itinerary specifics to come. Cabins on the '70s Rock and Romance Cruise cost from $1,999 to $9,649 per person, based on double occupancy, but some cabin categories are waitlisted. Miami, Fla (March 10, 2022) --- The ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise announces its 2023 lineup, featuring an exciting mix of chart-topping, influential and beloved artists who will join the weeklong cruise with fans.

Features & News

Our third rock and romance cruise is 2 days, hoping to book a suite on flower power cruise when they go on sale . We again got to experience dozens of concerts, intimate performances and interactive events with some of our favorite artists from the ‘70s like Foreigner, Randy Bachman (Guess Who and BTO), Dave Mason, Don McLean, Pablo Cruise, Ambrosia, WAR, Firefall, Orleans and more. Produced by StarVista Live, the cruise features daily concerts (on the pool stage, in intimate venues and in the main theater), artist Q & A’s, trivia contests, themed costume nights and other interactive events. It was, in a very real sense, a homecoming of sorts.

Look out for pool parties, dancing under the stars, karaoke and even a celebrity-led vow renewal ceremony. Exhilarating days of discovery deserve exceptional spaces to recharge. Celebrity’s range of luxurious accommodations has been artfully created to make your stay warm and welcoming. Every suite guest enjoys a personal butler, private restaurant and an exclusive lounge. Or, relax in our spa-inspired AquaClass® staterooms, with access to the "clean cuisine" of private restaurant Blu.

Just a few of the many superstar artists who have performed for us include Peter Frampton, Styx, Michael McDonald, Foreigner, America, Air Supply, Little River Band, THE ORCHESTRA starring Former Members of ELO, Grand Funk Railroad, and many more. I never cared much for wearing specialized outfits any time, especially the 70s, which were... I watched some Soul Train during the decade and remember a bit; it might do me good to go down memory lane. The 80s Cruise probably won't be available until after this year's cruise returns in mid-March. There's some chance I could book two of them, or perhaps one and another later in the year that catches my eye.

I made the executive decision not to book anything and take my chances with the waiting list (which isn't open yet, and probably won't be until cabin sales are opened to the public tomorrow). There's also a small chance that StarVista is holding what's left of the single cabins until they can be listed to the general public. I'm not optimistic that I'm going to get on this particular cruise, but life has taught me that anything can happen.

Rock & Romance Cruise announces 2023 lineup

And, of course, 2022 is another year with its own opportunities. So far, the 2025 artist lineup includes Air Supply, Kansas, John Lodge (The Moody Blues), The Orchestra, The Guess Who, Mark Farner, Melissa Manchester, Barry Goudreau (Boston), Rare Earth, Al McKay (Earth Wind & Fire), Atlanta Rhythm Section and more to be added. Looking ahead, we are setting our sights on the next sailing of the 70s Rock and Romance Cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel and Costa Maya on March 15 – 22, 2025, onboard Celebrity Summit. Visit the '70s Rock and Romance Cruise website to book this fully chartered sailing, which is sold by StarVista LIVE, LLC.

Combining a luxury vacation with their favorite music, guests on the ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise have the rare opportunity to watch multi-platinum superstars, GRAMMY winners and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees in intimate concert settings and interact with them throughout the eight day and seven-night trip. Dozens of special events and activities featuring the artists include wine tasting hosted by a superstar, behind the music Q&As, panel discussions that bring together several of the biggest icons of the era to share their insights and personal anecdotes, and nostalgic, unforgettable and wildly fun theme parties. The '70s was a time when Rock music was evolving, artists added a new intensity to their music about love, relationships and life. These songs became the soundtracks to our lives, and what better way to celebrate this music than reliving it LIVE while sailing the beautiful Caribbean with fans just like you on the Feel Good Party at Sea. Get up close and personal with these iconic artists in more than 25 celebrity led interactive events including Q&As and panel discussions, wine tasting, game shows, theme nights, pool parties and so much more!

These new venues combined with our award-winning Luminae are sure to please. Slip into new eXhale® bedding featuring CashmereSM mattresses that will surround you in luxury—literally.

Go back in time onboard the '70s Rock and Romance Cruise. You'll get a big dose of nostalgia while attending a mix of performances by '70s celebs and musicians, wearing your wildest bell bottoms and bonding with passengers who also lived through the groovy days of New Age and Nixon. The focal point of the lineup is, accordingly, '70s rock music, with a bunch of big names performing on the sailing. These themed musical cruises do remind me of big, extended music festivals like Woodstock (which I would have been far too young to appreciate at the time). And the UDC is touting their version of Studio 54.

In fact, all the references were warranted, from frequent tributes to the likes of Cher, Stevie Nicks, the Bee Gees, and the Blues Brothers, to artists and ensembles whose main purpose was to celebrate the music of the Beatles and the Eagles while filling in the gaps between the headliner’s shows. Costume contests, which frequently found cruisers adorned in bellbottoms, fright wigs and attire befitting an evening at Studio 54, drew the more adventurous, with frequent disco parties providing opportunity to revisit their vintage moves. To qualify for our “Military Rate” you must provide a copy of your DD-214 or a military ID.

If you have questions regarding a specific perk or amenity, you are welcome to contact the cruise line directly. If you speak with the cruise line, please make sure they understand that this is a full-ship charter. What I've quoted from you above is what I want from my music cruise(s) and also what the charter guys promise in their videos, e-mails, and websites. I can only hope that I can handle what I get.

Dig up those concert tees, platform shoes, bell bottoms and pantsuits and come rock the boat with us. The ‘70s Rock & Romance Cruise announces its 2023 lineup, featuring an exciting mix of chart-topping, influential and beloved artists who will join the weeklong cruise with fans. Former Eagles member Don Felder, The Orchestra starring former members of ELO, Jefferson Starship, Rick Wakeman of Yes, Foghat, Bay City Rollers, Exile, Climax Blues Band, Journey former lead vocalist Steve Augeri, Queen Nation, Bee Gees Gold, Boogie Wonder Band and The Newbees will all be onboard. The Hollies will make a special appearance with many more to be added in the coming months.

Similarly, independent shuttle services will likely end up being just as much — if not more — than a private ride. You’ll also have to wait on all the passengers heading to the port before you can leave. A nearby driver will confirm your pick up and arrive shortly. After the ride, you’ll rate the driver through the app and also confirm payment through your credit card. Uber/Lyft (Recommended) You can use Uber or Lyft to get to the port from the airport easily (see our guide here). Rates will actually be a little lower than a taxi, and most people prefer to use these rideshare services due to their lower cost and higher convenience.

Terminal 2Renovated a few years ago, Terminal 2 is home to Princess Cruises. One of the unique features of the terminal is that it’s setup for Princess’ Ocean Medallion service, which is a wearable device that can replace your room keycard. The terminal offers 85,000 square feet of space, including about 21,000 square feet for passenger waiting, so you should never feel cramped. This site focuses on small-format cruises and ship-within-a-ship concepts on large cruise ships, including special cruise experiences you can enjoy during your next vacation. Knowing where to embark on your cruise is an important piece of info. Docking terminals are assigned based on the type and size of the vessel.

✦ Closest Airport to the Fort Lauderdale Cruise Port

At each terminal, the private Go Airport shuttle has a pick-up location with a small and easily identifiable stand in front. There is no direct public transit between Fort Lauderdale's airport and Port Everglades, but there are airport shuttles to Port Everglades. This followed Disney's decision to change homeporting to Port Everglades from Miami. RCG (which also owns Celebrity Cruises) homeported Celebrity Edge here, starting turnaround operations in 2018 (on December 1st).

The port has on-site parking facilities for cruise guests with two parking garages and several lots. Similar to Fort Lauderdale's airport, pre-booked cruise line transfer shuttles are also often available for passengers if they are arriving on the same day their cruise departs. All parking facilities at Port Everglades offer day rates along with short-term parking. Port Everglades does not currently offer pre-payment or parking reservations. Onsite payment may be made with cash, debit cards and credit cards.

The Tri-Rail commuter train also connects the city with Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County.

Where is the cruise port in Fort Lauderdale?

In other words, if you don’t want the possibility of having to wait around to board, then arrive later in the window. Before you can get onto the ship, you have to check in and pass through security. The good news is that it’s no big deal and in most cases can be done in 15 minutes or less. Given the location of the port, getting there is a breeze, especially if you are flying in. But even if you live in the area and plan on driving, you can still easily get to your ship and park at the port. We’ve covered all the ways to get to your cruise with our port transportation article.

On November 4, 2016, world's largest cruise ships (Royal Caribbean's Oasis-class vessels Allure, Oasis and Harmony) came together off Port Everglades for the first time.

The short drive is approximately ten minutes between the two. Find the best deals to make your cruise holiday really special without breaking your hotel budget.Once you have the kind of port hotels you want in mind, look for deals that fits your needs. Fort Lauderdale is a major shopping destination with shops catering to any taste and budget. Port Everglades is a short drive from many of the city’s top retail destinations. If you want to spent time along the coast, Fort Lauderdale Beach is a fantastic option. From affordable hotels to luxury beach resorts, all budgets are catered in the area.

It's been in business for more than 40 years and is a terrific place for a quintessential diner breakfast. At lunch and dinner, order Greek and Italian specialties as well as burgers, deli-style sandwiches and roast chicken. Fort Lauderdale is a cosmopolitan city with all types of restaurants, from casual diners to fine dining. You can find everything from Southern comfort food and local seafood dishes to Caribbean and Latin American cuisines, Asian fusion and more.

The waterway's depth is 43 ft (13 m), ranking it USA's deepest seaport on the Atlantic coast (south of Norfolk VA, not on the US East Coast in general). Port Everglades is one of the USA's main cruise departure (turnaround) ports for Caribbean roundtrip itineraries. Once off the ship, you will be steered to the arrival hall where you will pick up your luggage (if you have it) and then head through customs to be admitted back into the United States.

You can see a complete list of parking lots near the cruise port here. Have an oversized vehicle that doesn’t fit in a normal parking space? Parking at Port Everglades is comparable to other ports, though the costs can still add up. Then you’ll sail from Terminal 4, the last cruise terminal in the Northport area and right next to the Convention Center. This terminal was recently redone to honor Disney and features a “Finding Nemo” motif on your way to the ship.

The ship boasts a total of 18 decks, a capacity of over 7,000 people, a 22 knot cruising speed, a length of 1,188 feet and over 60 different amenities to enjoy while onboard. Once you fill out a form, Royal Caribbean will put your information on the “Bingo Buddy” list that they will send to everyone who wishes to participate. It’s up to you to contact potential bingo buddies, and once you find the one for you, simply notify Royal Caribbean, and they will book the two of you in the cabin of your choice.

We were sitting around a vast table strewn with paint bottles, brushes and other artistic accoutrements during a complimentary painting class in the purpose-built Artist Loft on Marina – one of only two such studios on any mainstream cruise ship; the other of which is on Marina’s sister, Riviera. • AIR TRANSPORTATION IS NOT INCLUDED.• The above rates include port taxes, government fees, entrance into the World Championship Bingo Tournament.• Rates are per person (U.S. Dollars) based on double occupancy and subject to change.• Price does not include entry into Slots or Blackjack Tournaments.

But time enough for that later – first, it was on to the culinary centre, just a few paces from the Artist Loft, to awaken my latent culinary goddess. Under the watchful eye of chef Noelle, the class recreated well-loved dishes from Marina’s popular Asian fusion restaurant, Red Ginger – my favourite – including its signature miso-glazed sea bass and lobster pad Thai (Oceania has a reputation as the “foodie’s cruise line”, and it is certainly deserved). “You’re doing just fine,” he said encouragingly as he dashed between us offering creative support.

The temptation to splurge and squirt every one of the colours was irresistible and my abstract creation soon took on a life of its own, as I tipped the canvas this way and that, watching the paints meld and flood with childlike glee. I was utterly absorbed, and very sorry when our session came to an end and the canvasses were put aside to dry.

BLACKJACK TOURNAMENT
