So you remember those weird 'cone like' structures near the pool on that diagram. I think we may have found the answer on the Solstice:

Those look like shower booths for giants. SO far the pool area seems nice, but a little plain...add more sculptures, plants, color

Or beds for amorous couples complete with curtains/drapes! Is that a 'real' waterfall overlooking the pool?

It's a nice piece of design, though.

It looks like Cabanas, so another revenue generating area on the pool deck!

They have the same on Oceania too

I think a more appropriate area for cabanas would be the solarium, its alot more quiet and calm over there. It just takes up deck space at the main pool area, that and they look really wierd, how about shortening those canvas drapes about 10 feet.

maybe I am goofy, but I think they look cool right where they are. They remond me of something out of the Delano Hotel in South Beach. I think this will end up being a really spectactular ship. As to more color, the passengers themselves will add that.

They look nice but I wonder how they will be affected by the wind when the ship is moving. Any flapping will be annoying and eventually lead to damage.
