This space was formerly the first class dining room. Thanks to the rearward placement of the propulsion machinery, the two large dining rooms could be situated low in the ship. Decorative polychrome ceramic friezes inspired by the Odyssey of Homer were attached to the walls. They were designed by Nico Nagler, Amsterdam and made by De Porceleyne Fles, Delft. The woodwork was of olive in combination with rosewood. Ceramic stars and spheres were attached to the high ceiling which could be brightly illuminated by indirect lighting fixtures placed on the dome walls. These walls were themselves embellished with goldpainted frames.<\/p>\n

B-Deck – Vestibule:<\/strong>
\nOn the forward rosewood screen is a plaque depicting H. M. Queen Juliana sculpted by Pieter de Monchy, while on the aft rosewood screen is displayed the coat of arms of the City of Rotterdam, crafted in enameled metal by Nico Witteman.<\/p>\n

B-Deck – La Fontaine Dining Room:<\/strong>
\nDesign: J.A. van Tienhoven, Amsterdam
\nExecution: De Nijs Meubelfabriek NV, Rotterdam<\/p>\n

Formerly the tourist class dining room, the walls again boast decorative polychrome ceramic friezes which this time are inspired by the fables of Jean de la Fontaine (see also the description of the Odyssey Dining Room, above). The tourist class dining room could be expanded if desired by the use of two lateral extensions, decorated in light- toned Vynide and cherry wood with four metal sculptures after the design of Kees van Roemburg. The adjacent Grillroom has been transformed into a Captain’s dining room during the nineties. Now the room is used for storage.<\/p>\n
