Good place to read a book on the Beyond?

[zitsky]

Cruising in May.  I see the Sunset Bar and Martini Lounge.  Any place to sit for a few hours and read a book?

Haven't been on Beyond, but on Edge ( which is similar)  I liked to sit in Eden when there weren't any events going on. Sometimes in the main area, sometimes up the ramp. It's a pretty and peaceful spot

Everyone is different.   Pretty much all the bar areas are great in the mornings, but I prefer my own cabin.

Ok I will check out Eden.

There are seating areas outside of Eden as well, weather permitting.

My happy place to read on board is at the pool.

There are many nice places to have a quiet read.   It all depends on the time of day/night. 
 

The Eden can be a nice place but it does get noisy as they do have activities and rehearsals there.  The port deck outside of Eden can be a nice place but it is a smoking area.  For us the chairs looked nice but weren’t very comfortable. 

 

The Atrium can be quiet during the day time. 

 

It is best to look around, find a comfortable chair and enjoy.   If it gets noisy move to somewhere else. There is no guaranteed quiet place except for your cabin and even that depends on your neighbors.  

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I remember the lounge on the Equinox but the Beyond is quite different.  Yes I certainly would move somewhere if it got noisy.  I may spend time at the pool but I can get tired of that.  It’s nice to have an alternative.

The ramp in Eden during the day is the best quiet hangout spot with the best views.

Ok thanks.  Good to know there are views.  I’ve looked at the website briefly.  Not sure what Eden is exactly?  A bar/lounge maybe?

It's an entire area (aft) of E-class ships. There's a specialty restaurant, a bar, a cafe (serving breakfast and lunch when open), and various seating areas.

Any idea when that bar opens up?  I’ll check the website.

I would check the app or daily planner when on board.

When I was on Edge, in the upper area of Eden there were some big round comfy lounge things - perfect for curling up with a book and reading. And far enough away from most of the action I was never bothered by things going on in the lower section.

Good point.  I’ll check the app.  Maybe it will show early.

Have you tried a tried a stall in the rest room?

 

Next thread title :What is the best stall in a rest room?"

[Jim_Iain]

There are lots of quiet secluded places all around the edge of Eden on the walkway that  goes around aft between floors.
