Which way do you walk around the promenade deck

[rapata]

This question is a little like which is the correct way to put toilet paper on the holder:D

 

Is there a commonly accepted "correct" direction to walk around the promenade deck when doing laps .... i.e. clockwise or counterclockwise or do we just go with the flow at any particular time.

counterclockwise / go with the flow

As you walk/run ....leave your old Canadian pennies on the track.

One per lap.

Counter-clockwise, Olympic runner style...

 

 

... but not the same speed. :D

If one walks clockwise, one gets to see all the folks heading in the opposite direction...some would say it is best to "keep to the left"...old habits die hard...

I'm usually walk counter clockwise and we were always taught to walk to the right.

As a first timer on a cruise ship, I would have never thought about which way to walk around the promenade deck. Now I know.

 

As for the correct way to put toilet paper on the holder? Over of course... This way you can see the pattern on the paper. :D

No right or wrong, although most persons do seem to go counterclockwise. No running on the promenade. People sitting in lounge chairs, hanging over the rail looking, and just strolling. Do it any way you want.

I do it the opposite way (clockwise) to everyone else for that reason, say hello etc to fellow travelers.

 

We drive on the left and go clockwise round roundabouts.

Counter clockwise, pass to the outside. Same as any [foot race, horse race, motor vehicle race, dance promenade, take your pick.]

 

Toilet paper goes over. Under = abomination.

Counter-clockwise is how Nascar does it....it MUST be right! (or left...lol!)

And how many crashes are there in Nascar!!

[NittanyCruise]

Depends on which hemisphere the ship is in...

I would walk like an Egyptian! :)

[gma_pat]

We go counter - as for TP - don't care which way - just that it is there ;)

Forward

Forward

 

That is a very good point.

Depending on the ship, there are arrows pointing the direction you should walk. They point anti- clockwise.

Fairly certain you walk on the left while in Bermuda or other British heritage ports and on the right for all others! :-P

For me, it depends on where I came from. If I started forward & starboard side, I would go keep going straight (clockwise). If I started aft & starboard side, I would also keep going straight (counter-clockwise).

 

And yes, sometimes even walking *backwards* depending on which way the wind was blowing!

[philip_eunice1]

Just keep inside the rail

And......frequently during the some days a small portion of the promenade is closed off for maintenance being performed, with a rope blocking access. Then walkers have to reverse course and resume the opposite direction.

You can stroll around the promenade however the hell you please to stroll around the promenade.

When I was in the Navy we had an acronym we used to remember the way to get to General Quarters- FUSSPAD. It means "Foward and Up, Starboard Side, Port Aft and Down". When you have 6000 sailors all running to get to battle stations it helps if everyone is going in the same direction.

 

So when I am walking on the Promenade deck I walk forward on the starboard side and aft on the port side. Which is a rather long way of saying "counter-clockwise":o.

The proper way is with a drink in hand!
