francarlson Posted November 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2023 When on Discovery Princess there were no deck chairs to sit & watch the horizon. I wonder if Princess is taking them away? I hear theer may be some on Crown as she is "older" I LOVE deck chairs & am sad about this. Amy info hive mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineforhealth Posted November 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The upper decks will have plenty away from the pool you will just need to pick out a good spot that will work. or plan on your own balcony especially the rear cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted November 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2023 When designed the two midship promenade deck areas were supposed to be Al Fresco dining areas. They probably never had lounge chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted November 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2023 When we were on Discovery last year there were areas outside on deck 7 Promenade deck aft of the exit doors near the Vista lounge that had loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted November 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2023 There are promenade deck chairs on Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevs904 Posted November 9, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Yes, the Crown and the other older ships have real promenades with plenty of chairs, loungers, and viewing space. The small spaces that they have on the Royal class ships are not a true promenade and are very disappointing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted November 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) This summer they took away the wooden chairs on the promenade deck and put in some cheap plasticky ones that are a few inches lower than the wooden ones. I have a bad knee and they were harder to get in and out of than the older ones. Edited November 9, 2023 by wolfie11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted November 9, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2023 We just disembarked from the discovery and she had some tables and chairs midship on deck 7 and also had some loungers all the way aft. I believe one side may be for smokers. We did see someone smoking out there but like I said, only on one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been on the Discovery but on other Royal class ships smoking is allowed outside the aft doors starboard side so I presume it is the same on the Discovery.

The smoker I saw was on the starboard side. They had loungers on both sides in the aft section and nobody was sitting on the port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our Enchanted cruise the aft port lounges were our favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found them while docked in San Francisco and it was such a nice day, we decided to take a walk while in town. Otherwise, it would have been the perfect place to sit and relax!

francarlson Posted November 11, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Thank you all. A balcony isn't as good for viewing the sea & sky as it is truncated on left & right so that is why I love deck chairs on Promenade. A big view. The loungers by the pool do not have a sea view. We board 1/7 & I hope they will still be there on Promenade. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
