Ravenscroft Posted May 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2012 From looking at the deck plans of Quest, it appears that there aren't any shaded deck areas apart from around the pool. I'm fair skinned, that's the Curse of the Celts:eek:, and like to be in the shade. On sea days I often prefer a quieter area than the pool deck to read (and sleep!). I was just wondering if anyone can point me to a quiet deck area on the ship that has some shade, if such an area exists? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overlooked areas of quiet and serene areas are on Deck 10 and Deck 9 balcony areas and by the Sky Bar that face onto the pool are shaded. Also, the Aft Deck 5 pool area has shaded areas by the two jaccuzzis as well as Deck 11, the Retreat area where the Mini-Golf course is there are a couple of couches in the shade as well. Hope this helps you enjoy the outdoors and not fry like an egg.;):eek:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at the pictures of the Retreat and it does look rather appealing so I'm glad to read that there's some shade there. I assume the areas on Deck 10, Aft, are only accesible to those who are using the Spa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wripro Posted May 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I love the Deck Five area behind the bar. There is always shade and it's lovely to watch the wake of the ship as you are relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariner Posted May 28, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Deck 5 aft. However, much depends on the direction the ship is heading and the time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the sofas in the corner of the pool deck on the starboard side as they are tucked in under the deck above and provide a nice comfortable spot for people watching, reading, and you're still within view of any passing waiters ;):), but away from the general hubbub around the bar and grill areas. And there's the outside deck area at the back of Seabourn Square, but I think this might be a "smoking area", but when we were on the Quest we sat out there a few times totally smokefree.

Ravenscroft Posted May 28, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Deck Five aft sounds promising too. Fairbourne, you're getting to know me too well. Passing waiters (with full glasses of course) always a winner in my book. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairsin Posted June 6, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2012 We get plenty of sun in Arizona sowhen we were on our Quest holiday cruise we spent the sea days on the very comfortable wicker chaises on deck 9. This little terrace overlooks the pool area down below but as there is only room for a few people it is nice and semi-private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
