rubrrick Posted March 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We liked the peek-a-boo bridge on Explorer. Which other ships have a peek-a-boo bridge? As far as I know......just the Voyager Class ships have peek-a-boo bridges. Actually, that was a trivia question on the Mariner a few weeks ago.......and that was the correct answer.:) Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted March 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Just to add, the PAB window is only open when the sun is up. I've seen it closed when there were tours on the bridge or during other activities when the Captain or watch officer wanted it closed. It is a really neat area to go see the bridge though if you don't get invited to see it up close and personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv4dacruise Posted March 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I thought it was only available on the first 3 Voyager class (Voyager, Explorer and Adventure) and not on the latter 2 (Navigator and Mariner). So ALL Voyager class have them?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsdos Posted March 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2009 What deck is it on Dave? Is it on deck 11 above the bridge? Hey... not Dave... but, yes it is the deck above the bridge. Just go up the deck 11 and keep walking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schplinky Posted March 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Apparently, they discontinued them on future ships because the Captains hated how people would bang on the glass so they would turrn for a picture. I'm not sure if this is true but we have heard this several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a sign next to the viewing area: "Please do not bang or tap on the windows" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schplinky Posted March 1, 2009 #14 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I have seen a sign next to the viewing area: "Please do not bang or tap on the windows" ;) Yes. Sadly, I think that sign has caused more people to tap it than it has prevented!!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted March 1, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yes. Sadly, I think that sign has caused more people to tap it than it has prevented!!! :o It reminded me of those "Please do not feed the animals" signs in the zoo! Captain Johnny specifically mentioned (last month - I can't believe that it's March already, and I can say "last month" :eek:) how annoying it is to the bridge personnel when people bang/tap on the glass.

dutchess43 Posted March 1, 2009 #17 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Now that I know what deck the peek a boo bridge is on. Does anyone know how do you get to the helipad & what deck that is on? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted March 1, 2009 #18 Share Posted March 1, 2009 What deck is it on Dave? Is it on deck 11 above the bridge? Yes. You go thru Solarium, and exit at the outside sliding doors at the bow end of the solarium and walk forward on an outter deck. Then you will see it. It's easily noted from the front of the gym as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schplinky Posted March 1, 2009 #23 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Now that I know what deck the peek a boo bridge is on. Does anyone know how do you get to the helipad & what deck that is on? Thanks. The easiest way to get to the helipad (on Voyager/Freedom class) is to go to the lounge at the front of deck 5 and then, once in the lounge, you go outdoors via the doors on either side of the bar. As someone else said, you can go on deck 4 (promenade) and walk forward. There are outdoor stairs there to take you to deck 5. The helipad is not always open but when it is, we like to go have a look. There is even seating out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
