Tutone56 Posted August 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hi everyone, I searched for this but couldn't find it - can you walk on Deck 8 in the early morning as opposed to using the track? I thought I read somewhere that the track is shorter and would require more laps? I'd prefer a longer circuit. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCMC100 Posted August 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Yes. Lots of people will walk around the ship a few times for exercise in the morning. The Waterfront, as it’s called, is open 24/7 weather permitting. It’s not marked like the jogging track but I suspect it is a slightly longer circuit. Walk to your heart’s content, you won’t be alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portia! Posted August 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Hi, You can definitely walk on the Waterfront on Deck 8 early in the morning. It isn't usually very busy except for a few others trying to get their steps in. You cannot run, however, just walk. The track is shorter and is in direct sunlight for most of the day. It can be quite busy. On some ships it passes by a smoking area, which isn't an issue on Deck 8. Deck 8 is also a good place to walk in the evening - nice for catching a sunset or watching the stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKR2011 Posted August 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Yes, absolutely walk around Deck 8. It was a favorite of mine when I sailed The Escape a few years ago. I love walking laps and watching the sunrise. However, you have to walk inside at one end as it is not a full promenade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to cut through the ship at the forward and aft elevator lobbies (short blast of air conditioning), but it is a nice circuit. You can do the same on Deck 7, but it is far less scenic.

I have a recollection of standing at the railing and looking down at the propeller churned water and being able to look down into the Manhattan Room. I think there is a plexiglass floor panel you can stand on for an even better view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quagmire0 Posted August 10, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Deck 8 is, by far, the best place on the ship most of the day. I don't think it was ever that crowded and it was usually a nice, quiet place to relax. Only downside is that it won't be a loop (unless you cut through) - you'll be swinging back and forth in a U pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis1209 Posted August 10, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 10, 2023 If you walk along the waterfront in the morning and see a guy passed out on a couch, please be quiet! I need my rest! Elvis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
