Emerald Princess outdoor lounging areas

[rebeltech8]

Hey everyone, 

 

This summer, we were on the Caribbean Princess for a Western Caribbean Cruise. This was post dry dock and we found two new areas to sit outside and relax. Both were near the aft and featured comfy chairs and couches.

 

We are planning a Hawaiian cruise on the Emerald Princess next spring and wondering if there are similar areas on this ship.  We enjoy sitting and visiting or reading on sea days, and we will have quite a few on this trip.  If these particular areas are not available, where on the Emerald are your favorite quiet places to hang out?

 

Thanks guys...

The Emerald's layout is very similar to the Caribbean. If you are speaking about the indoor lounges in back of Planks and Steamers, the Emerald also has these. The Emerald does not have the improved family area on deck 17 aft. The terrace pool is very popular, regular lounges, not padded. The lotus spa pool has padded lounges and is protected from the wind.  The weather crossing to and from Hawaii will probably not be tropical like you experienced in the Caribbean. Every time we have taken this trip we have had rocky seas and cool temps. On the Emerald the Adagio Lounge is a nice quiet location. There is also some seating outside of the lounge which is partially a smoking area. Many people sit on the padded chairs on the promenade deck.
