danvan Posted May 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The promenade deck on the Freedom/voyager was pretty much THE place to relax, interact with the ocean, etc, well, looks like it won't be no more: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollon Posted May 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Confused - What are they doing? They're not getting rid of the promenade deck on the voyager of the seas are they?:eek: It looks like they made it a hallway. Could someone tell me what exactly they are doing? Thanks.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted May 9, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2009 It is Oasis promenade deck I believe. She wont have the promenade deck like on other ships, it is more enclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler80 Posted May 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Does Oasis's outside promenade deck look enclosed because of tarps/plastic hanging in the life boat openings due to it being a construction site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulfpk Posted May 9, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Half the exterior is currently covered by tarps in all the pictures I have seen. In this picture I see a railing and I can clearly see the tarp on the right side of the picture so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted May 9, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Yep, currently covered in tarps. I do think there will be sections that are enclosed. Have a look at the renderings of the ship. I think there will still be open areas however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted May 9, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The Oasis will not have the traditional outer promenade deck. The lifeboats are going to hang over the side of the ship and the view would be blocked in most places anyway. This is going to be the jogging track which is being moved from the upper decks down to deck five. There will be areas where there are no lifeboats and one can view the sea but don't expect any chairs on this deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...most of the ships' outside promenade have an oceanview because the lifeboats are hanging over it occupying 2 decks of the ship....the one on Oasis will be like Celebrity's Solstice Class which occupies only one deck because the boats are hanging behind the promenade and kind of over the ocean....my guess is there will be two open places on each side of the ship which are in front of the doors to the elevators halls just like on the Solstice....yes it is a very small area with a few chairs but also it was always empty with maybe 2 couples or 3 actually relaxing....awesome place to take pictures and have a drink before or after the show/dinner watching the sea...they also use it as gangway just like in other large ships....it is good it will be the jogging track....on the Solstice you could not run there it had to be by the Pools which I hate because there is always chairs and people standing in your way running :p Here you go some pics you can see it on the Solstice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200S Posted May 9, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 9, 2009 From the picture it is also apparent that the deck is not as wide as on other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danvan Posted May 9, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Well, i just found out that carnival ofund a much better solution to the lifeboats occupying 2 decks above the promenade: Don't get me wrong, this is not a pro-carnival post, voyager class is my favorite, and the promenade is amongst my favorite places in every ship, it just seems odd that unlike what they did with radiance class, they want to make everithing look inside.

Cruising89143 Posted May 9, 2009 #11 Share Posted May 9, 2009 And the glass railing for the promenade on the Dream is going to be head high. No standing and looking over the railing which for me ruins it. It's also not covered which coupled with the head high railing that cuts down on the wind will make it hot. There will be plenty of places to enjoy sea views on the Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobiecat01 Posted May 11, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2009 How disapointing! I have always loved the Prominade deck! I have a cruise habit of eating lunch, grabbing my book and heading to a lounge chair on the Prominade deck to "read". My only problem is the my DW is constantly nudging me because I snore while I "read". :D I guess I will have to find a new spot... to "read"... --------------------- Sea ya!

Tyler80 Posted May 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I've never sailed on any other ships besides Royal Caribbean's Voyager and Freedom class, so I don't understand not having lifeboats that hang from above the promenade deck so that they can swing out and lower to effeciently load people. This is sad that Oasis won't have this open Promenade deck. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted May 11, 2009 #14 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hopefully everyone will believe that there will be no open areas on the promenade deck. That way it will be completely deserted for ME :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilblah Posted May 13, 2009 #16 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Although im a little disappointed there wont be that much open space on the outdoor promenade, its not like there arent plenty of other spots where we can see the sea. The Solarium will have a great view unlike Voyager and Freedom class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
