Externally, little visible change has taken place aboard REMBRANDT. Her wood decking is quite beautifully maintained, and all the cherished nooks and crannies remain intact: the sheltered Bridge Deck and Sun Deck sports areas; the little used Boat Deck promenades; the Upper Promenade forward observation area; and the beautifully terraced after decks.
Off limits areas such as the aft Sun Deck are looking a bit tired, but then crew areas are often not as well tended. There also appears to be a minor soot problem aft of the uptakes, so be cautioned if you are dressed in your best whites.
The upper view on this page is facing forward along the open expanse of REMBRANDT's starboard Upper Promenade Deck. Unlike many newer ships, this level provides a fully encircling passage (enclosed up front for inclement weather) that is popular for strollers and exercisers alike. Few ships today devote precious space to this traditional configuration, much to the detriment of the voyage experience.
The image below is looking forward toward the uptakes from aft Promenade Deck. The inviting Lido Terrace and pool are in the foreground. One minor recent change is the broadening of the black band at the top of the uptakes.
