Less "in your face" if you can't see inside, or really know what is inside unless you do research, or even are merely aware there's a reserved area. I would wager many pax on ships with specifically designed "ship within ship" areas will know what's in the enclosed areas, or even know there is one unless it's on a general ship map.
Ponant and Explora don’t have segregated areas? What do you call reserved pool side tables?
The reserved tables are not all the time. and on Ponant the reserved table is actually the one in the shade and hence farthest away from the pool. I did not see any reserved spots of any sort on Explora (the larger suites have lots of private-to-suite facilities such as hot tubs). Not reserved all the time and a very tiny area. Really not that different from reserved tables at a restaurant.
