And this? This is a serious downgrade in the Atrium to me. Does it look any better in person. I think it's hideous compared to the custom blown glass that was there.
Chuck, I haven't wanted to say anything but the atrium chandelier does concern me as well. It lacks that "oooh" grandiose feeling the main chandeliers usually have. I'm sure @Disneyfalcon has some better, more detailed shots (if I know her at all ) so I'm still holding out hope. Then again, the atrium on the Magic is far more intimate than that of the new ships. If they did 1 massive chandelier any larger than what was previously there it might feel out of proportion to the space in both size and scale. I suppose I'd need to see it in person to truly get the overall feel.
Okay, I admit it. I didn't love the chandelier. It's not ugly at all, I just didn't walk in and say, "Wow, that's gorgeous!" It's pretty, just not amazing. I totally agree with Kelly, I think they decided to put something smaller up there. The other chandelier was so big for that little atrium, especially when you were on deck 5 looking at it. I think they wanted something with a smaller footprint.
