Hello,
Good question. 
The lifeboats are located on F Deck (Deck 8). This is just above the main promenade deck which extends out the side of the vessel by some 3.75 metres. The lifeboat are on the same deck as many of today's modern cruises ships, including the Ventura and Azura. 
The only reason I think they look so low is the fact that I have added a whole additional deck of balcony staterooms and a shorter forward deck of balcony staterooms. The reason Verona has so many balcony staterooms is because I know that Mickey Arision (Chairman of Carnival Corporations) love his balconies.
The original plan was to have the lifeboats hang out the side of the Promenade Deck, like on the Oasis of the Seas. But I thought this made the ship to top heavy, so I decided to change it.  |
