LooseMetal Posted February 21 #1 Share Posted February 21 We've taken two Greek Islands cruises on the Jade, and REALLY enjoyed The Great Outdoors. Those are all relatively short hops. I'm curious to know how it is on the open sea. Is it sheltered enough to enjoy under "full steam" or does it get too windy? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Anoynmous Phoenix Posted February 21 #4 Share Posted February 21 in good weather it is always crowded, especially at "meal times". However if the weather isn't good people tend to go inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firstin87 Posted February 22 #5 Share Posted February 22 We've often enjoyed the Great Outdoors on sea days. Funny experience - on a Caribbean cruise in spring of 2023, there was a sudden torrential downpour, as often happens in that area, and almost an inch of rain suddenly fell. People sitting in the Great Outdoors, including us, just lifted their feet up and kept on eating and chatting. The water drained and evaporated fairly quickly. Once you get settled in the Great Outdoors, you don't want to leave - lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted February 22 #6 Share Posted February 22 It can get windy when underway if winds are just right, especially at the way back. But overall, we've had more good than bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asawi Posted February 22 #7 Share Posted February 22 I did a TA on Gem in December. Sitting down to eat never was much of a problem, but the wind took some of my potato chips one day. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamin jul Posted February 24 #8 Share Posted February 24 Does the Great Outdoors bar serve as a sunset bar like other cruise lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
