39august Posted April 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I see many comments that there is no forward view open deck for non-Retreat guests on S class ships. That is not true. You just have to know where to look. There is an open forward deck with some loungers on deck 12 outside the gym. Just go in the gym to the front door. and voila! Forward view deck and loungers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted April 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2023 That is quite true. Usually it takes a while for passengers to discover that area. On the other hand, during our last S class cruise, it got mighty crowded there when we sailed through Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E..not so much Insider tip for those on Edge class ships: take the spa tour on embarkation day right before Sail Away and you can stand out on the deck in front of the spa. There are no chairs or loungers but if you want a forward view on Sail Away you can do it here if you aren't in the Retreat. I don't know if you would be able to go here at other times unless you had access to the spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
