Somewhere to stand

[No Sea Legs!]

Thinking about when we arrive in port and sailing through interesting views, rather than looking sideways on, is there somewhere on the Sky Princess where there is a good view point facing forwards? 

On the Coral Princess we were able to stand on the Baja Deck, at the very front. 

Thank you.

I don't know of any forward facing viewing areas on the royal class ships, aside from the Sanctuary.

Yes, the forward facing suites, mini-suites, and balcony cabins.

Yes! Exactly why we booked one for our Norwegian affords cruise this summer. Can’t wait to take it all in from our forward facing balcony!

 

Really besides the forward facing cabins, the best forward views are probably from the Sanctuary.

On the Sky you are probably out of luck, unless you want to sit on your cabin and watch the bridgecam ;o(. The Sanctuary would be the only place I can think of and it's for booked passengers only. You might be able to see forward from the extreme upper deck (19?) but it is only from mid-ship, not forward. On the older ships (Ruby, Emerald etc) there actually is a great forward-facing observation deck which is accessed by going full forward on the Lido deck and walking  forward up a short flight of stairs. It's actually the roof of the bridge and makes a fantastic spot for sightseeing.  Sadly, AFAIK the newer ships don't have it.

No forward views. Aft views from the promenade deck and upper decks. Side views from the upper decks.

Thank you both, I am not surprised they have used every inch of space!

We have Aloha A414 (the last mini suite on that deck) midship - the exact place I wanted to be.

We are Port side.

We will be on a Norwegian cruise. 

Hints and tips are welcome. 

Thank you.
