Outdoor spaces on Queen Elizabeth

Deck 3 is the Promenade Deck, where you can take an uninterrupted stroll along the perimeter of the ship. Feel the sea breeze kiss your skin as you marvel at the vastness of the ocean stretching as far as the horizon, perhaps on a walk during a balmy Caribbean evening. Or you could find yourself hypnotised by the rhythmic waves in Alaska – just remember to keep an eye out for wildlife as you gaze.

If you’re looking for a blend of relaxation and recreation, the Lido Deck is a real oasis. Spend time sunbathing on loungers by the pool, taking a dip to escape the heat of the sun whenever you need to. Perhaps get lost in your holiday read, perfectly paired with a cocktail when the mood strikes. The Lido Deck is also home to a bar and grill, so refreshments are never far away.

On deck 11 you’ll find a host of fun activities to try your hand at. Among your choices are bowls, croquet, and deck tennis. You could also practice your swing in the golf nets or feel like part of the action in giant chess! Come along just for fun and to test your skills, or perhaps join a tournament if you’re feeling confident. The Games Deck is a great place to come if you’d like to meet some like-minded new friends.

Spanning across decks 11 and 12, the Grills Terrace is a peaceful sanctuary reserved for Princess and Queens Grill guests. Access the space with your suite key and find yourself in a pretty, Mediterranean-style patio complete with ornate, characterful tables and chairs. Or you could wander up to the next level and choose a cushiony lounger to call yours for a few hours. A team of helpful wait staff are on hand to serve nibbles and refreshments here.

Located on deck 9, the Pavilion pool is the largest of the two outdoor pools on board. Here you can challenge yourself with multiple lengths, or perhaps just jump in to have fun and cool down. Surrounding the pool, you’ll find plenty of sun loungers and other seating options where you can relax, read a book, chat with new friends, and perhaps sip on something sparkling to celebrate your holiday.
