Sunandgames Posted June 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2023 For those who have accessed the Epic Posh from the Haven (as opposed to with purchased passes) can you tell me if there was age restricted signage and/or card scanners in place, and if so, if it was restricted to 16+ or 18+? I understand that for the few passengers purchasing a pass it serves as an 18+ Vibe alternative, but also that for haven passengers it serves as the typically 16+ sun deck. My 17 year old is not a big fan of kids and spent quite a bit of time lounging with me on the sun deck on her last couple cruises. She’s not going to be thrilled about being demoted, so I want to manage our expectations now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omahabob Posted June 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) 18+, but they don't always strictly enforce it. As Haven guests, you don't have to scan anything to enter. And since the Haven sundeck (which is what Posh is) has a 16+ limit, you have no worries. The very limited number of non-Haven guests may have to scan in. I'm not sure how that's handled.

I was just on the Epic in April and there were only 2 entrances/exits to the Posh Deck - both the doors from a deck and the elevator and to enter you needed to scan in your ship cabin card. I wasn't a Haven guest, I paid for access. Even Haven guests had to swipe their ID cards, otherwise anyone could enter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted June 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I think that all Haven sun decks are 16+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omahabob Posted June 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2023 From what some people are saying that's true unless the Haven pool is on the sun deck. If the pool is there, apparently the age limit does not apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a multi-story sundeck with bar and water feature. The Haven pool is separate and in the Haven courtyard. Next to the Haven sauna and steam room. Overlooked by the Haven gym. Also overlooked by the 2-story Haven lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it doesn't have a Vibe, they sell a limited number of passes to the Haven sun deck, and call it Posh. Or so I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the required age, in March, the age requirement was 18, not 16. We stayed in a Haven category and purchased passes for our extended family. They said the age rules are the same as the Vibe and not the Haven sundeck. On all deck plans, it is called Posh and not the Haven sundeck. However, your 17 year old will have no issue walking in with you., I just do not think her cabin card will unlock the door. This was OUR experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the deck plans on the Epic, there is a Posh deck area on Deck 18 and then on Deck 16, there is a Haven courtyard pool and spa. They are separate areas. Non Haven passengers who have purchased Posh deck access have access to the Posh deck (which is a multi deck sun deck with a bar) but they don't have access to the Haven courtyard and pool.
