leaveitallbehind Posted June 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Deck 5 is a promenade deck on the outside that you can walk around most of the ship. I would imaging you could comfortably read there as well - always see chairs with people doing just that on other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLeesburg Posted June 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2013 They also have a library in case it's raining or too cold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted June 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2013 They also have a library in case it's raining or too cold... Isn't that one of the areas that was replaced with the POV staterooms during her refurbishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLeesburg Posted June 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2013 God I hope not. I thought I saw pictures of it - but they could have been pre refurbishment. I was really looking forward to sitting there and reading a good book (have not picked one out yet, but still have a few months to find the perfect one).

Same thing on deck 8 - the lounge and C&A area are also gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaveitallbehind Posted June 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 18, 2013 There is an RCI on line and "Next Cruise" desk on deck 4 - did they not replace the lounge and C & A area on deck 8? (Don't know if what was the lounge was also an internet area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't know if what was the lounge was also an internet area). Sounds like what they did on Rhapsody. The LA had a partition separating her office from the Centrum. I spent some time there trying to book a cruise and it was a bit difficult to do business with all the noise in the Centrum area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the old areas on 7 & 8 that are now the POV's from our maiden Grandeur in '96 (cobwebs not withstanding) and figured that the locations on 4 are where the lounge and old C & A area wound up. Looking forward to sailing on her a 2nd time next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaBear55 Posted June 18, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 18, 2013 is there a deck outside you can sit and read(not at pool). thanks There are also places on the deck above the solarium that are quiet and good for reading. The library area is a set of bookcases by the next cruise office area. Although there are a few chairs their often the art auction pieces are on display there. We ended up reading in the Viking Lounge off hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbandeegrl Posted June 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Last time we sailed GoS, there were chairs going around the aft of the pool deck, completely away from the pool area chaos. Distractingly beautiful view from there though! ; ) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
