Ever slept above-deck under-the-stars?

[Trin1103]

Total shot in the dark here - has anybody ever spent the night on a cruise (specifically Carnival) above-deck (i.e. on Serenity or the Sun Deck) under the stars?

 

This is something we'd love to do on a cruise - but we're not sure of the regulations LOL.

Did that many times as a teenager 35 years ago. Woke up one morning to the splash of water. 2 crew members were up one deck mopping and emptied the pails onto my deck about 10 feet away from me. We all had a good laugh about it.

[gogetter]

Yes i did it and it is ok. Don't worry no one will bother you!

[Trin1103]

Really????!? I mean - REALLY really?!?!???

 

OMG.........DH will be beside himself with excitement when I show him this thread!!! Thanks guys!!

always wanted to, but they stack and lock up all the chairs at night.

I have done it and it is wonderful!!! Just be prepared to be woken up at 5 am or earlier with the workers doing their jobs around you.

That's something that never occurred to me...but I think sleeping with the balcony door open is close enough to under the stars as I need to be. If Carnival has no problem with it - have fun! I would imagine that there is some normal cleaning and maintenance that will be going on around you though.

Does passed out on the balcony count?? Actually I was just needing "some air", and sat down to enjoy a lightening storm miles off... and fell asleep. Was a very restful night, and the "air" clear me right up! :D

only if you want that humid air in your bedding, which makes it kinda stink.

Not on a cruise ship but on a tramp steamer- our room was tiny and my son got claustrophobic. So we slept on deck for 10 days. Ah the tropics!

[marshhawk]

We tried on the Heritage MWA, but the decks are so close to the water, that a mist falls over you and you just get really really damp. I think we will try this on our next cruise-there can't be many bugs at sea? Right? I once had a star shining in my cabin window so bright it woke me up, so I am really looking forward to this.

Some people look at them as stacks of lounge chairs ....some people look at them as privacy :) :) :)

[jhale]

I'm a night owl and have seen several people sleeping on open decks. Some with empty buckets and glasses around them which makes me think they were maybe "sleeping it off" lol.

[babyher]

i didn't tell dw! :D

She had such a fear of that boat getting loose and us falling into the ocean and getting set adrift *LOL*

Last cruise The husband next cabin to us got Kick out of his cabin the 2nd night at sea by his wife. He spent the next three days of the Lido deck sleeping. He got to friendly with another couple's wife

Have also have seen people sleeping off the one to many DODs on the upper decks

Also DW fell asleep on our Aft Bal. on our Dec 06 cruise and got woken up around 4:30 AM when they turn on the splinkers to wash the upper decks rail windows, You should have heard the noise she made:rolleyes:

Does this also inc. the following Sleeping in the Well deck of a Landing Craft Mech. (LCM8) in Viet Nam while on a support/supply mission:confused:

If they do they must do it really late at night on the Dream we walked at sat up there at night.

[ecn81126]

We cruised on the Glory last December and they asked us to leave the Serenity area at 11pm. They roped off the area each evening and reopened it around 6am.

It's one of my favorite parts of cruising. At home I use the AC two or three days during the summer. I'll take fresh air over AC any day - humidity or not.
