Ralph Lauren at Sea

The most stunning space on the Marina was the Owner's Suite on the back of Deck 9.  It was decorated by Susan Bednar Long of S.B. Long Interiors in collaboration with Ralph Lauren Home.  It looked like the interior of an elegant yacht but was also comfortable and cozy.  The bedroom was one of the rooms that had to adapt to the rules regarding flammable materials.  Susan originally wanted to upholster the walls in a heathered grey cashmere but had to find an alternative material.  The new ultra suede looks great nonetheless.  Owner Frank Del Rio and his wife were always out and about on the ship but if I had a suite this nice, I might never leave!

Dakota Jackson at Sea

Since the Marina was fully booked, we were only able to see the designer rooms and suites while we were docked in Nassau.  Dakota Jackson designed a few suites and we peeked into two of them.  We weren't given any specific details about the rooms but I assume much of the furniture came from Dakota Jackson's own line.   It was interesting that many of the suites had their own work out equipment even though there is a gym on board.  Enjoy!
