Do you refer to the decks by name or number?

[warmwinds]

I'm only familiar with the M class, but when someone talks about the Resort Deck or the Promenade Deck, I have to grab my brochure to see what they are talking about...yet say any deck number and I know immediately what's on it (especially 4, 5 & 10, I like to eat ;)

 

So how do you refer to the decks?

[LV2KruzCats]

I really don't know what the names of the different decks are ~~~ we know that cocktails at Michael's Club are on 4 ~~ we generally have dinner on deck 5. table for 2 on the railing ~~ cabin is deck 6 aft, and breakfast is deck 10 ~~ exercise is deck 10 and walking track is on 11 ~~~ who cares what the proper names are !! :D:D

By Number

 

And sometimes by what is on them (i.e., "meet me on the pool deck"), but very seldom if ever by the official deck name.

[The_Big_M]

Definitely by number. Having a name doesn't seem to add much benefit.

[bighairtexan]

both/either

I always say Lido deck.

[nps001]

Definitely by number. I always know when someone travels other lines if they refer to the "Lido" deck since Celebrity has no Lido deck, but rather a Resort Deck.

Solstice class has a Lido deck, the one with the Ocean view Cafe.

But I do prefer the Princess format which has alphabetic floors with corresponding name, Aloha, Baja, Caribe etc...., with current cruise ships having 10-16 decks trying to remember a number and what's on it is too confusing.

[Lois R]

Usually by the number as well or the name of the BAR on a specific

deck:D:):D.....unless you want food. Easy peasy...Bistro on 5:D...well

that says it all and so the Martini Bar is one deck down on 4;)

I always thought "Lido" was just a general term for "the deck has the

buffet on it";):D

But I agree with Joe, most of the Celebrity ship's use "resort deck"

as their term. I didn't realize the S class actually use LIDO.

[The_Big_M]

I had a staff member on Millennium refer me to the Lido deck and I was confused as to where he meant!

Hi All

For what it's worth : Per Wikipedia

A lido (pronounced /ˈliːdoʊ/ LEE-doe or /ˈlaɪdoʊ/ LYE-doe), in the United Kingdom and some other countries, refers to a public outdoor swimming pool and surrounding facilities, or part of a beach where people can swim, lie in the sun or participate in water sports.

 

On a cruise ship, outdoor pools and the surrounding facilities are referred to as the lido deck.

 

The term lido comes from Lido di Venezia on the sandy barrier beach that encloses the Lagoon of Venice, where sea-bathing took place from the later nineteenth century.

Number

[derf5585]

Definitely by number.

 

Secret agent man, They've given you a number and taken away your name

[smoosh21]

What do the elevators say? On Princess, the elevators give the name of the deck (Aloha, Baja, etc.) On RCI the elevators say the number (Deck 8)

[portofrome]

Definitely by number.

[BroncosFan2010]

Definitely refer by number. I have a hard time remembering which decks are which, although, after my first Celebrity cruise, that may change!

[Gonzo70]

The numbering system seems odd though, I never seem to be able to find the 13th floor on cruise ships. :confused:

Or cabin number 666

[cruise kitty]

On S class the resort deck is the one with pool, the lido deck is the one with the outdoor grill. I prefer numbers, just easier.

[emileg]

On Princess by deck name; on Celebrity by deck number.

 

Cunard has only numbers for its deck. On the QM2, the buffet is actually located on Deck 7, which would be considered the Promenade Deck on other ships.

 

On Holland America, I refer to the Promenade Deck and the Lido Deck by name and all the other decks by number.

[The Big Booper]

Always by deck #. And on RCI ships I never lose track of the days of the week when getting in the elevator. The first picture of the day is always the elevator floor which sets up a marker to split the days.

[Infi]

Name.

 

Minor pet peeve, but it gets me when people call the buffet area the Lido on Celebrity - it's not the Lido, it's the Oceanview Cafe (or Waterfall Cafe, or Ocean Cafe, etc. etc.) :o

[CruisinManiac]

How about deck number, and a then a deck name that starts with the letter that the number starts with.

 

Examples:

Deck One ~ Ocean, Deck Two ~ Twilight, Deck Three ~ Tuscany, Deck Four ~ Fortune, Deck Five ~ Fandango...etc. :D

[chessbriar]

Yes

That's amazing technology. The lights in the elevator send out different frequencies causing the crystals to align and change the day.

 

Has anyone ever seen the elevator faerie?
