I actually really like the table and sculptural dish thing, light fixture is fine, rest of it not so sure about. However, loathe to criticise any replacement of CCR furniture as it definitely needs it, so more of the same please, BA!

Cabanas? I have been in similar, ahem, "night clubs". ��

Anything is an improvement but when the newly opened business class outstation of CX in Singapore is streets ahead of the prime home base lounge of BA and this sort of Parisian gauche appears on top of a couple of sunbeds and granny's sofa, I despair, I really do.

Edited to add - not to mention carrying a car battery around to charge your phone

Oh my word... That is... (no good enough words to describe it come to mind)

The sofas are fine but I can imagine Barbara Cartland sitting on one of those chairs stroking her pekingese.

I quite like the look of those. Can anyone use them, or do they need to be booked/reserved ?

I’d definitely make a beeline for them if they were available.

I find a lot of solo travellers in CCR - I hope the area can't be blocked off for one person

No, I mean I'd expect people to share the area, as I would travelling solo. I wouldn't hog half a dozen seats to myself !

LOL. What a mishmash of design, styles, colors and patterns.
Kind of like someone went to the clearance section of a discount furniture outlet and said we'll take "one of these, one of those, etc...".

Indeed.

The pink/tartan sofas put me in mind of Crossroads Motel, I don't know why. But I shall reserve final judgement until seeing them first hand.

The terrace was empty when I was there at 1pm, though I can imagine the cabanas will easily get filled up with those N.America departures in the morning.

To me it’s just been done with bad, old fashioned, inconsistent, badly eclectic taste.

I will see how it looks in real like in a few weeks, but I will certainly give some feedback unless real life beats images.

"The very best in luxury interiors" and with "great service"? Jesus wept.
