Regal Quiet Spots Outside?

[EZ2CY]

Now that hubby has finally retired I’ve managed to convince him to come cruise with me. We’re booked on the Regal in January. It’s a beautiful ship, but not exactly a small one. I would like to make sure hubby doesn’t feel even remotely overwhelmed by the 3500 plus head count. I’m wondering if there are any parts of the Regal, other than our balcony, that are a little more quiet and away from the madding crowd. I’m especially interested in outside spaces, since we live in a cold, gray climate and need some sun and fresh air by January. Help anyone?

The promenade deck midship has outdoor sitting areas that are quite nice. Also aft on the promenade too. We spent many hours out there watching the waves and reading.

There is quiet seating outside on the promenade deck also the back of horizon terrace and the sun deck above the retreat pool. Enjoy!

Thanks Daisy and Cruisin'! That helps a lot. Really looking forward to this trip.

The back of the Horizon Terrace is really a jewel...both tables for dining and some comfy couches...a lovely place

The padded teak loungers on the Promenade deck aft, both port and starboard are a great place to read, relax and watch the sea go buy and nap. :D

Thanks Sunset and Mom33. Great suggestions!

For sure tour the ship at different times. You'll find all kinds of quiet little spots. The promenade deck has some nice areas with chairs and tables or loungers. Sometimes there are NO people hanging out. Sometimes, like outside of Crooners around happy hour, some will enjoy their drinks in the chairs right outside the bar. On sea days, if not interested in sun around the pool, we find spots where we just enjoy a book. Or...just staying on the balcony is a treat for DH. Enjoy your cruise!

Be aware that these areas are not covered, so bring sun screen.

One side or other is in the shade at some time of the day. :)

A nice tour of deck 7.

 

Shhh.... don't tell anyone else about this deck.

Thanks everyone. Looks like there are some wonderful spots to just sit outside and relax. Just realized we'll be able to see the spot on the Promenade just outside of Crooners from our deck! :)

On our Royal TA last spring, the areas shown in this video were barred to pax: "Crew Only" signs + chain across the openings to them.
