Deck layout and review

Review of VIVA Unique deck 2 (Ruby-Cabins-Restaurant)
Adjacent to the Main Dining Room/MDR is the Galley (kitchen and storage rooms for provisions).
The RIVERSIDE Restaurant is the ship's main dining venue (complimentary) featuring large floor-to-ceiling windows and a layout designed for efficiency rather than formality - flexible table arrangements (no fixed seating), modern, understated decor, calm daytime ambiance, and slightly more refined evening service. Filter coffee and tea are served at the table. The breakfast is buffet-style (self-service counter) plus a-la-carte options, with a wide continental selection (pastries, cold cuts, fruit, cereals), and a hot food station (eggs, bacon, pancakes/waffles, etc). The lunch is a light buffet (salads, a selection of meats) plus daily changing warm dishes (pasta, potatoes, a fish, and a meat dish), focusing on casual international cuisine. Desserts range from fresh fruits and sweets to various cheeses. The dinner is the highlight meal, fully served and multi-course, with a daily rotating menu - international dishes (fish, poultry, beef, vegetarian options), regional/itinerary-based specialties and gourmet desserts.
The RIVERSIDE Restaurant feels less intimate than the boat's two other specialty dining venues (VIVA's Trattoria and Moments/VIVA's Bistro).
Cruise cabins from 201 to 226, all of which are Ruby Deck French Balcony staterooms in categories Double Cabin (aft), Unique Suite (aft-midship) and Junior Suite (midship, adjacent to the Atrium).
Aft (at the stern) is a crew-only area.
An elevator/passenger lift (midship, in the Atrium) interconnects only two decks - Ruby and Diamond (2nd and 3rd floors).
