Colo Cruiser Posted February 8, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Do any Princess ships have helicopter pads that you can access for sail away or any other time for viewing? None of their 17 ships have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsgirl Posted February 8, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Is there a place where you can sightsee from the front of the ship, where a normal landing pad would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsgirl Posted February 8, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well, on Serenade the Seas (RCI) has a helicopter pad that you can go out on at anytime. It was fantastic for scenic cruising in Alaska. I was thinking of trying Princess for Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on which Princess ship as to which viewing areas there are. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted February 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well, on Serenade the Seas (RCI) has a helicopter pad that you can go out on at anytime. It was fantastic for scenic cruising in Alaska. I was thinking of trying Princess for Alaska. Helicopters rarely, if ever, land on a ship. It's very dangerous and a very tricky maneuver, jeopardizing the helicopter's crew, the patient and the ship. Medevacs are almost always done by lowering a basket. Much safer for everyone. Thus, no helicopter pad on any Princess ship. If a medevac is needed, a section of the Lido is cleared out. Different Princess ships have better viewing areas. The best are the Coral and the Diamond with open, public decks both forward and aft on several decks. Skywalkers on the Grand class ships (except for the Grand) have an almost 360-degree view plus you can go outdoors for better viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bimmer09 Posted February 9, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2013 On a Grand Class ship you can watch from the tip of the curved bow-under cover, as it has a deck above it. Wind in your hair...and you won't get crushed by an unexpected helicopter. Norris Grand Class lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
