Atrium vs Grand Hall

[Sleepyluke]

This ,ay seem simple but I can’t really seem to find the difference. Why did the new ships become grand halls vs atrium? All have multi level views and similar area and styling to an extent. Just curious what the real difference is.

Well, according to AI: An atrium is a large, often multi-story, open-air or sky-lit central space in a building, characterized by natural light and sometimes a glass roof. A grand hall is a large, opulent, and often enclosed, monumental room or entryway designed for ceremonial, social, or welcoming purposes. Atriums focus on light/volume, while grand halls focus on regal atmosphere.

The Grand Hall on the Wish class ships has a dedicated stage with a balcony above it, both for use of the Cast Members when doing events, shows, presentations, etc. The Atrium on the older ships is a bit smaller (I believe) and they use the raised entrance to a main dining room as a make-shift stage. Not big differences, but worth noting.

They have a stage.

The atrium was meant to welcome you and greet you to the ship. It wasn’t meant to be a gathering place but more of the ship’s hello as you passed through to the other parts of the ship slowly it became part of entertainment.

Which is what the Grand Hall combines the introduction to the ship but also a place where they can hold small forms of entertainment. Grand Hall gives off more of theatrical vibe.
