Minda626 Posted December 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2018 My sister took me on my first cruise in December 2016 on Empress of the Seas, and I loved lounging on these hammocks and reading. I went on my second cruise last July on Mariner, and was (mildly) disappointed to find no hammocks. Don't worry, my trip wasn't ruined! That said, as we plan my next cruise, I'm curious, which ships, if any, still have hammocks. Can anyone fill me in?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ourusualbeach Posted December 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Indy and Mariner had a couple of hammocks added during their recent Amped drydock. Edited December 17, 2018 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted December 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) OP, welcome to CC. That kind of hammock is an Empress only thing I think. If you were on Mariner this July you would have seen this by the Skypad - I think there might be something functionally close to a hammock there: Edited December 17, 2018 by Biker19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted December 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) We were in port, side by side with the Marella Explorer last month. All of their balconies had hammocks on them. Edited December 17, 2018 by champagne123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo is of the kids climber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think you're right that there were hammocks in that kid zone, but being adults looking for a relaxing vacation, that was just not the right place for the same hammock experience as the Empress. Since I'm the sister Minda referenced, I can hijack her thread to ask are there other ships with good spots to relax away from screaming kids, such as the situation with the Empress hammocks that are on a top deck, away from all the other action?

Majesty and all Vision, Radiance, Voyager, and Freedom class ships have a long outside promenade with lounge chairs. Oasis class does have an outside promenade, but most of it is not wide enough for lounge chairs. The aft area has some chairs, but it won't be quiet if there's an aquatheater show going.
