Noworkforme23 Posted July 5 #1 Share Posted July 5 This will be our first time sailing on Celebrity and I like to research and watch videos on YouTube and such. We will be sailing on the Apex in December and almost all the videos I have seen online have zero umbrellas on the outdoor deck areas on the Apex????? I can’t find one video where there is deck umbrellas…. I will probably spend most of my time in the solarium, but do they just not have any deck chair umbrellas on this ship?? And why not???

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted July 5 #2 Share Posted July 5 What ships or cruiselines actually have them? I've sailed Disney, Royal, Holland America, and Celebrity and do not remember seeing "deck umbrellas" anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted July 5 #3 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I dont remember ever seeing umbrellas on any decks on Cruise lines we've sailed on either. Shady areas due to overhanging decks, yes. But even those are time of day dependant. Edited July 5 by mom says 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some ships have cabanas that can be rented but finding a space under an overhanging deck is what I look for to be in the shade. When you think about it umbrellas would be a bad idea. They could blow away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL has umbrellas and other cruise lines have them as well. I have seen them in videos on other Celebrity ships like the Ascent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would pose a safety hazard. You may be thinking of cabanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted July 5 #9 Share Posted July 5 The E class ships have a few deck umbrellas on the Retreat Sundeck. Unless I was dreaming I thought I saw some deck umbrella on one side of the pool deck on the Ascent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dock Posted July 5 #10 Share Posted July 5 Ascent had umbrellas on the Retreat pool deck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted July 5 #11 Share Posted July 5 Umbrellas need to be fixed in some way. Otherwise the would easily fly away with a nice breeze of wind. steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT on the pool deck. My guess is even those are only expanded when the ship is docked in port. I'd imagine the wind while cruising would be too much.

Sorry...I just figured since the OP said they would probably spend most of their time in the solarium they were interested in pools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah1212 Posted July 5 #20 Share Posted July 5 Ascent has always had large umbrellas around the pool deck. All of the E class ships also have them on the Retreat deck. They aren't open that often, even in port, due to the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The umbrellas are open on the Retreat Sun Deck when at sea unless it is very windy. Spent many hours under a umbrella on the Edge Tp this spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
