Apex - is there any access to the outdoors on what used to be a promenade deck, ie underneath / next to the lifeboats?

Is there anything resembling a prom deck on Apex, or are the only opportunities to take a walk outside on the top deck jogging track?

You can certainly access parts of the outdoor Deck 5 but it doesn't allow passageway all around. Of course Decks 15 & 16 offer pathways which you can take the jogging track part way and then walk beyond towards the Sunset bar and then around to the Portside towards the Rooftop Grill and then past the Rooftop Garden to rejoin the jogging track.

On Apex you can almost walk from bow to stern on deck 5 on the port side not many places to sit, other than the smoking section aft outside Eden.  On the starboard side I think Raw on 5 gets in the way to walk bow to stern.

On Beyond and Ascent Fine Cut jets out all the way so you cannot walk bow to stern on the port side.

How many yards  would you estimate the ability to walk deck 5 on Beyond, please? I can always picture a football field, so yards makes sense to me.

You're missing the whole forward section where the theater is on Deck 5 to walk since there isn't a pathway.

I'm not missing anything, I said you can almost walk bow to stern on the port side.  You can not walk all the way around the ship on deck 5.  Eden in the aft and theater in the front prevent that.

That’s very useful, thanks. Sometimes the high decks are too cold and exposed to be pleasant, so it’s nice to know that one can access the outside without getting very wet or blown about. Can be fun to be a bit nearer the water too. Not interested in sitting out, so not an issue for us, and we can turn back before hitting the smoking section.
