Some observers on the preliminary tour complained that the furniture in some of the lounges looked cheap and that deck chairs for the lowest-priced cabins were white plastic instead of the traditional teak. Victoria Mather, travel editor of the British magazine the Tatler, dismissed the pervasive Art Deco look as "Las Vegas"--kitschy instead of tasteful.
