Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'promenade' (a leisurely walk) with 'deck' (a ship’s platform): it denotes a deck intended for walking. This noun+noun compositional pattern (modifier indicating purpose/location of the head noun) is regular in English and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Promenade deck comes from promenade, a word for a 'walk', and deck, the ship's open floor. It paints the simple picture of a deck where passengers walk to enjoy the sea, so it means 'a deck on a passenger ship where people walk for pleasure'.
