Located near the centre of Deck 8 is Oriana Rhodes, the on board restaurant of celebrity chef Gary Rhodes and offers menus created especially for restaurant by Gary.
The room its self is actually a very unusual one for a restaurant as it was originally designed and built as the Curzon Room a music venue for passengers to listen to piano music, which was a successor to the popular Meridian Room on CANBERRA which served a similar purpose.
When the room was converted to a restaurant in late 2006 there was many passengers opposed to the change however in general the Oriana Rhodes has been a successful addition to the ship.

As the Curzon Room.
Oriana Rhodes is open for diners between 6pm and 9.30pm, as a speciality restaurant there is a £15.00 (17.00€) extra charge per person.
