Promenade deck?

[39august]

Which deck offers an outside deck for walking around Silhouette please? I can't tell from deck plans. I don't mean the walking "track" on the higher deck.

There is no deck with a complete circular promenade -- if you mean one that goes all the way around the ship.

 

You can access the exterior deck from doors deck 5, but the only way to get from the port side to the starboard side is to re-enter the ship. The open deck area brings you alongside the lifeboats.

 

The port side is generally where you will find the smoking areas as well.

Deck 5, where the lifeboats are. Sadly, it does not go all the way around, and most of the view is blocked by the lifeboats. A great loss for those of us who love promenade decks.

Too bad! We just got off Allure and my husband hated that walking track on the life boat deck. No view. Seems like on Princess ships many years ago you had to re-enter the ship to access the other side.

I totally agree with you. I love the S-class ships, but the lack of a true promenade deck is one of their few negatives.

 

OP: Here's Deck 5 on the Eclipse, the Silhouette is the same:

Ugh! That's even worse than Oasis class!

Bummer! I love a true promenade!

We like the promenade decks on Celebrity's M-class ships.

 

Although they don't wrap around at the ends, they provide a nice quiet, uncrowded, unobstructed area for walking and enjoying the views, or just sitting in a lounger and reading or daydreaming.

 

 

Some call it the biggest balcony on the ship.
