"traditional" promenade deck
The wife and I are going on a Celebrity ship out of SJU in a couple weeks. It got me thinking, too late, how much I like the traditional promenade deck where one can walk, stroll, run, whatever, entirely on one deck around the ship, mid-deck, not the windy top levels. Can anyone enlighten me on whcih ships are best for this?

Most (maybe all?) of the Princess ships have the wrap around promenade deck. I really missed this on my recent Celebrity cruise. In addition to being a good place to walk on the Princess ships, the promenade deck is also a nice place to sit in a lounge chair and enjoy the ocean air while reading. The Celebrity ship had ZERO chairs on their partial promenade deck.
The Sun class, the R class, and Coral/Island twins all have single level promenade decks (the Sun class might require going through some doors at the back from what I can find, I've never been on one, so don't know).
