SLSD Posted October 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I really loved sailing on the Encore, but agree with others that more shade is needed on the decks. I'm thinking specifically about the hot tub and surrounding deck on the bow end of Deck 7. No shade at all--and this made it difficult to spend much time there. It would be easy to put up a shade area on at least one side of the surrounding deck. Now, I'm wondering if the lack of shade an attempt to make people interested in paying extra for The Retreat? Two problems there: 1. It is supposed to be an inclusive cruise and 2. Most people don't want to spend ALL DAY in one place--especially if there is not a sea view. So---what is the best way to persuade Seabourn to add more shade to their decks on Encore (and Ovation) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galeforce9 Posted October 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The issue with shade at the bow end is that it spoils the look of the ship and would be subject to extremely high winds when sailing. Perhaps there could be temporary shade put out when in port? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLSD Posted October 19, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I like the idea of temporary shade. If you ask for a shade umbrella on a stand---will you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted October 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I like the idea of temporary shade. If you ask for a shade umbrella on a stand---will you get it? Just tell them to deliver the umbrella with your caviar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLSD Posted October 19, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 19, 2017 wripo, I LOVE that idea. I'll them that you suggested it LOL! Seriously, I did like the ship very much, but broiled on Deck 7 at the hot tub. I am NOT a sunbather, but like to be out on the deck and in the water. We had Long Island Iced Teas in the hot tub. It's a nice area--small enough to chat with those there who want to chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
