lido deck

Cruise ship terrace

A lido deck is the outdoor recreation area on a cruise ship, typically featuring swimming pools, hot tubs, lounge chairs, and bars.

The term comes from the Lido di Venezia, a famous Italian beach resort.

On most cruise ships, the lido deck serves as the social hub for sunbathing and poolside activities: We spent the afternoon on the lido deck.
