We loved the Navigators Verandah- instead of it being open with rails it is metal and has a huge porthole opening. But what makes it really special is how it is decorated. Teak chair, table, and upholstered bench. It has a mariner map on one wall, nautical flags and a compass. It is more of a sitting room feel that a deck. It is wonderful though! I wish that we had one for this cruise but I am letting DD take a friend and they only sleep 3 so we are in a porthole room.
