tipsygirl Posted November 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2021 We will be on Riviera in February. Any advice on a quiet outside area in the shade for lounging with a good book. Traveling in Concierage class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEASwim Posted November 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The Spa Terrace at the forward end of deck 14 would be my #1 recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted November 13, 2021 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The Sanctuary or the Patio on deck 14 The Spa terrace really does not have any shade sometimes you can get a lounger under the track on the pool deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted November 13, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 13, 2021 We love the Sanctuary .... great place to read, relax or snooze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted November 13, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2021 One more spot is the area outside of La Reserve. Downside to that is it is probably the busiest of the places mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's a question of how much shade you want. Edited November 13, 2021 by SEASwim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted November 13, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Always the promenade deck on Deck 5 or 6, I forget. Always quiet, and typically always shade. Since you’re closer to the water, it has more of a sailing feeling than the upper common areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 5 has the loungers but on Riviera I do not believe have outdoor spaces on those decks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CintiPam Posted November 14, 2021 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Where on Oceania ships are lounge chairs with pullover shades? (Am I actually that forgetful since my last cruise in March 2020?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a very fair freckled strawberry-blonde (at least in my younger years), I always am seeking out the shady spots onboard outdoors. I have enjoyed many quiet hours at the Sanctuary.

Rare ORV Posted November 14, 2021 #21 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Just one point about the Patio on deck 14. This is more or less above the smoking area, so, if you are bothered by smoke this would not be the place for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
