What happens to Royal Promenade when it rains?

[BoiiMcFly]

I see the new Mega ships such as the Harmony of the Seas having an open promenade. Is it able to close when it rains or how does it deal with the weather to prevent flooding?

 

PS. I love the central parks they have on the ships now.

Central Park is not the Royal Promenande. Only the Boardwalk and Central Park is open. The Royal Promenade is still inside. You walk through a set of doors at the end of the Royal Promenade to access Central Park/Boardwalk

The Royal Promenade is on deck 5 of all Oasis Class Ships and is fully enclosed.

 

Central Park and the Boardwalk are not part of the Royal Promenade and are fully open. When it rains you get wet same as on any other open deck.

sorry am not familiar with all the exact names. I guess I am referring to the Boardwalk and Central park. The new ships have lots of open spaces, so I was just wondering how they dealt with heavy rain?

They have drain lines to deal with it.:D

Same as any open deck on a ship...the water is drained through floor drains and scuppers.

[BoiiMcFly]

Yes that makes sense :D

If I remember correctly, there are umbrellas at either end of Central Park that you can use. I may be dreaming though...

I remember being on oasis and we were walking to Chops Grille (central park) for a dinner reservation. It was raining pretty good. We walked on the sides to get there. I can't remember if the sides are covered, but I think we walked pretty close to the side so we wouldn't get wet.

You're not dreaming.

You are not dreaming, you are correct. At both ends there is a holder with several umbrellas you can use.

At least thats what we experienced on Allure.

Umbrellas were definitely there on Oasis last September

You are correct - you're not dreaming (unless it's dreaming about being on board and walking thru Central Park).:)

This is true, sadly my wife and had to use them once.

That's what the kids' clubs are for. When it rains they hand all the kids bailing buckets and the game of the day is 'bail out the ship'!:D

Nope, you're not dreaming. We did see umbrellas at the entrances to Central Park;):D

Saw them on Allure

[harryfat1]

Umbrellas on the Allure outside of Central Park.

 

 

 

 

Central park from above on a rainy day

 

 

 

 

Boardwalk all empty during raining time

 

 

 

 

What dummy takes a picture of the drainage area? That’d be me

To answer the OP's question:

 

It gets really crowded. On the Voyager class ships that is hehehe.

You're not dreaming, they are outside all the restaurants and at the entrances to the park.

[xpcdoojk]

Yeah, grab an umbrella and walk through, drop umbrella in stand on the other end.

 

Easy Peasy

Ugh...that would be me:D

I was fascinated with everything in Central Park. I bet there are a lot of people who don't even notice the brass stands with magnified scenes(dioramma miniatures???) in the top' date=' but I took pics of those too...LOL

Don't kid yourself. When it rains on the big ships, the promenade gets pretty crowded too. ;)
