Our cabin is close to the Terrace Deck

The first photo shows the distance from our cabin door to the door at the back of our deck (this is just one side of the ship; there is an identical one on the other side).

There are just 8 steps on the other side of that door, and we are on the open decks on the back of the ship, with a hot tub, two pools, an open bar, outdoor seating and the back of the buffet.

This location is why we can tolerate cruising for 90 100 days in an inside cabin. The aft decks become our balcony.

I will spare you the pool photos until turnaround day. Right now, on a sunny sea day, they are awash in swimsuit-attired human bodies, some of which are better left covered.
