Chipshot from Michigan Posted December 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Our two children will need to spend some time studying during our cruise. Other than our cabins, what quiet space options exist on the Wind Surf? Some ships have libraries and other spaces where passengers are usually less vocal. I don't see anything like that on the deck plan. Outdoors appears to be an option, depending on conditions and materials being studied. Thanks in advance for your assistance. https://windstarcruises-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/yachts/deck_plans/Wind_Surf_Renovation_deck_plan.7.18.19.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted December 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2019 During the day there is very little activity in the lounge. After the tours gather and depart really no one uses it. I have often seen people reading in quiet there. There will be people walking through but that is about it. The decks are long and there are people who find deck chairs In really quiet areas where they can nap or read. They are in the shade because they are under the Veranda Deck. When we have crossed the Atlantic on the Surf we have aaked crew members to bring us a deck chatr to the bow, very quiet out there. Good question. Happy Sailing.

Chipshot from Michigan Posted December 8, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Thanks, Strenz. We have excursions/plans every day but never all day. The kids are accomplished at carving out study time. Most of our cruising has been expedition/adventure, with limited post-dinner activity, so they may be inclined to use evenings. Hopefully they'll still have energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted December 8, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The evening they will probably have to study in their rooms because the Compass Rose has a duo playing until late as does the lounge. Have a great cruise. We adore the Surf, on her in 1/18. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipshot from Michigan Posted December 9, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted December 9, 2019 That's what we expected. This will be our second time on the Wind Surf (the first was in 1998). She's on her way to the Caribbean from Europe, so apparently her renovations are complete. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:369798/zoom:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunatetail Posted December 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The Yacht Club is another option. Always quiet and never crowded. I have never seen more than a few people there. Don't think the ship gets many studiers. Kudos to them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted December 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yacht club is quiet. During the day, the lounge is quiet. There are some small areas on the sides that might work. Stella Bistro is empty except at dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgesmom Posted December 26, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 26, 2019 If they are looking for an evening location, there is a small room above the Compass Rose which was formerly a cigar bar, and some tables outside of that. There is a light inside and out up there, although I expect all of their studies are electronic so they probably won't need it. Its often completely empty (but not always) after dinner. They'll probably get a bit of music from below, but most young people I know wouldn't object. Lounge is a perfect idea if you do happen to have some day time on the ship.

Chipshot from Michigan Posted December 30, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Thanks for all the help, everyone. Our son hunkered down in his cabin (he found the desk well sized and lit) while our daughter used a mix of Bridge Deck lounge chairs, Veranda tables, Yacht Club, and Compass Rose. Yes, they also had plenty of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
