amyhphoto Posted April 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2019 What are the hours of the suite sun deck on Symphony? I read somewhere that the bar is rarely open. Is the hot tub “hot” or cool. Is it hard to get a cabana or lounge chair? Can you use the hot tub at night? Any info would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying you think it's empty often? I used it in 2010 on Allure and it was a ghost town most days but I assumed with the addition of the hot tub and the fancy seating that there would be more people using it.

Haven't done Symphony, but it was empty every day on Harmony. Cabanas were hit or miss, but I'm pretty sure they dont exist on Symphony. Oasis was empty during day in March. We've never been up there at night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieJo Posted April 18, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2019 FYI - We were on Symphony last month and the Suite Sun Deck was closed due to wind. This was on a sea day. Sorry, can't answer about the other days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted April 18, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Allure has a hot tub on suite deck? Really, That's new since 2017. Safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry I meant that Allure didn't have a hot tub in 2010, so I assumed that since Symphony added a hot tub, the sun deck would be more crowded.

Milwaukee Eight Posted April 18, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 18, 2019 On both trips on Harmony, the kids had figured out how to open the gate at the bottom of the stairs to use the hot tub. They were NOT Suite Guests. It was easy to get a drink at the bar and a seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffles2 Posted April 18, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) No, Allure does not have a hot tub there....unless they have gotten it in the past three months. The suite lounge area has almost always been pretty empty every time I have used it (on all four ships). Nice.

Dr. Pam Posted April 18, 2019 #21 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I was just on the Symphony on the March 30 sailing. Yes, there is a hot tub and it is hot! Put my hand in and that was a no go! 😲It is situated close to the bar, so those who decided to brave the hot water would have refreshments close at hand. 😄 Regarding availability of loungers, etc. on sea days it was obvious that the chair hogs also reside in suites. 😏 To my dismay, it seemed that there was no monitoring of the situation. We decided to stay on the ship in Nassau, and had a chance to enjoy the Suite deck. Also, I should mention that when we were up there on a sea day and finally found a place to park, it was quite breezy. Ladies, I might suggest bringing a hat that fits securely on your head with not too large of a brim! Also, Suite Deck entrance was very secure. Enjoy!

lovelife Posted April 19, 2019 #24 Share Posted April 19, 2019 This huge area is at the front of Symphony's suite sun deck. These six or so beds are there but chair hogs always claimed them during my two cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
