City of Myconos [San Marco]

[TSS QUEEN ANNA MARIA]

Henry, our newcomer friend Nikolas 64 informed us that the aft extension on the top deck of City of Myconos (the one sloping one with the long windows) housed the casino due to lack of space elsewhere, a location which for me is odd as in all cruiseships the casino is always located in the most crowded area of the ship for obvious reasons. I wonder on the sister ship City of Andros which did not have similar layout on the top deck where was the casino located? Any deck plans to solve the mystery? Or it did'nt have one?

QAM you are right from what I can remember the casino on the City of Mykonos was located in a corner of the Main Lounge. They might have changed it later to the top deck but cannot be sure. I will check deck plans when I get home and get back to you on this one.

QAM The only deck plan I have of the City of Andros does not show the top most deck (same as the one posted by Nikolas64) so cannot really tell however I can confirm that in the case of the City of Mykonos the top lounge was used as a disco as can be clearly seen from the deck plan below.

The second page is from a 1991 brochure and all the photos are of the City of Mykonos. Here you will see that the top left hand corner photo shows the main lounge with the casino section located in the front right hand side corner (it is separated by a partition).

The third page contains photos of the City of Rhodos except for the bottom right hand side one which is the casino on the City of Mykonos. The slanting windows with the gap in the middle is proof of this (since the windows in the top lounge did not have a space in the middle).

So to recap I suppose that the same arrangement applied on the City of Andros however at some point they might have used the top lounge as the casino especially if the disco was under utilised.

Thank you Henry for your help. So initially it was a disco and in the 90's as Nikolas 64 informs us, was redone housing the casino. We are trying to see whether the casino of City of Andros was situated on the main deck behind the forward lounge separated by a partition. Remember, the City of Andros did not have that top deck extension the Myconos had, so the casino must be a deck lower.

Να δούμε το San Marco κατά την διάρκεια των δοκιμαστικών του πριν παραδοθεί στην Adriatica με την αρχική του ογκώδη τσιμινιέρα η οποία αντικαταστάθηκε με την γνώριμη φάλτσα κοντύτερη τσιμινιέρα.
