aquilegia Posted June 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2023 We're on Sky Princess shortly. On sea days we often like to find a quiet spot to read for an hour or so but looking at the deck plans I'm not sure where to find one. On Crown and similar ships, we've always gone to Skywalkers. Is there somewhere like that on Sky Princess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie15 Posted June 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2023 They opened up cielo or solely dining room for quiet reading on our cruise earlier this month. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted June 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Any open venue such as Crown Grill without any activities will generally be quiet. The Take 5 lounge (6-fwd portside) has not had many events scheduled there. Look at the Princess Patter to see which venues have nothing scheduled.

SCX22 Posted June 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Take 5 is usually pretty quiet in the mornings and early afternoons. Surprisingly, the Retreat Pool area on Deck 17 and the terrace area above it on Deck 18 were pretty quiet when I was on board this past April. This all depends on the crowd that will be joining you at the time that you will be using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there somewhere like that on Sky Princess? We sailed on her with 4400 people last Nov/Dec and we found the Crown Grill Bar to be a very peaceful place to sit by a window and chill. Sometimes at night they had live music, but it was always mellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquilegia Posted June 29, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Thank you all for your useful suggestions. It looks as though finding somewhere quiet won't be a problem. Edited June 29, 2023 by aquilegia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx200gps Posted June 29, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2023 We've been on the Sky three times in the last year or so. As mentioned previously, your two best bets would the Crown Grill bar and Take 5. We always used Take 5 as it is a separate area with virtually no through traffic and there is plenty of window seating and tables for two to watch the sea go by. Occasionally Take 5 is used for a quiet lecture, or for some very loud game show, but generally us beautifully quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG&Lcruisingnewbies Posted June 29, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thank you for asking the question and all the answers. I was wondering if I would be able to find a quiet spot when I need to recharge, other than going back to cabin. Pleased to see that I can 😃 The Cruise in August I’m on looks to be full. I’m guessing, like ours, many of the cabins that can accommodate more than 2 people will be because it’s summer holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are numerous AC outlets with North American plugs scattered around Take 5 and I never had any problem finding a big window chair right next to one. I always prefer to run my tablet off AC power whenever it's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely meant Myself 😂 however, seriously, I hadn’t thought about charging my devices outside the cabin silly me. thanks for that info about the AC outlets. I now know I can chill out and read while I charge my iPhone, so it’s fully ready for the next million photos I’ll take on it! 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye10640 Posted June 29, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) For a generally quiet outdoor area, try the outdoor deck area aft on deck 7. There are outdoor exits back near Vista lounge and during the day there are chairs and small tables set out.
