mferranti Posted July 26, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Are you talking about the one that only goes down?Why am I suddenly humming 'If I Were a Rich Man?' ;) Since I imagine most people who book Penthouses throw parties, I think it's some kind of area for the waiters to get fresh canapés & such out there with minimal delay.

Ericknow32 Posted July 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I have heard it is for staff only. Other than that I have no idea where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted July 27, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I think they are for very exclusive tours of the engine room. Penthouse Don will know. I'm not sure if a tip is required to use them though:) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted July 27, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2005 We've been in the PH twice on the Summit and the staircase is for the crew only. They use it to access the window cleaning equipment that hangs on the railing of the PH balcony. They clean the dining room windows with that equipment. I guess Celebrity didn't want to have their crew walking throught the PH to get to the window washers so they put the stairway as access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted July 27, 2005 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2005 It goes to the cabin that that person who decided they didn't want a nursing home but wanted to retire on a cruise ship lives in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertiger Posted July 27, 2005 #12 Share Posted July 27, 2005 it's the staircase that goes from the back of the ship to the front of the ship..or vice versa. :eek: depending on which way you want to go, but it only goes one way at a time so be careful! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm positive I've seen waiters use those stairs while serving parties in the suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty9 Posted July 27, 2005 #17 Share Posted July 27, 2005 With a butler's pantry that opens into the PH, there really isn't a need for waiters to use that stairway. There's a door that leads directly into the kitchen of the PH from the area where the butler receives all the food he serves to all the suites with butler service. I've only ever seen the blue-clad crew members/window washers using that stairway, and they're always very polite when they've come on the balcony when we've been out there sitting on the chairs. But, since we've never had a party in the PH, I really don't know if waiters use it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsea Posted August 3, 2005 #19 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I had always assumed those stairs were the emergency escape from the dining room below. Can't you imagine the fun of having 500 passengers flood your Penthouse balcony during dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
