Crown Princess Pool and Sunbathing

The Crown Princess has 4 pools that are strategically located throughout the ship, and all pools are filled with freshwater. The Calypso Reef and Pool, located mid ship on Deck 15 (Lido Deck), boasts a 300 square foot Movie screen with movies shown throughout the day and evening. The Calypso has two adjoining whirlpools.

Located forward of the Calypso Reef and Pool on Deck 15 (Lido Deck) the Neptune Reef Pool has two whirlpools adjacent and is about the same depth as the Calypso Pool (approximately five feet in depth).

The Terrace Pool is located aft on Deck 14 (Riviera Deck). This is a good place to get away from the crowds. This pool is not as big as the others, and is designed for relaxation more than swimming. 

The little kids have a Paddling Pool, which is located adjacent to the Youth Center on Deck 17 (Sports Deck). Also, the teens have a small pool, which is adjacent to the Teen Center on Deck 17 (Sports Deck).

The adults only pool is the Lotus Pool, and it is located forward on Deck 16 (Sun Deck). Also, there is an adults only relaxation area known as the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is the choice for peace and quiet for adults only. Shaded lounge chairs are thickly padded for your comfort, and Serenity Stewards provide soft plush towels, smoothies, and MP3 players preloaded with songs with various themes that lend to the tranquil experience. The Sanctuary is located one deck up on Deck 17 (Sports Deck).

Sun bathing lounge chairs are available on Decks 14, 15, 16, and 17.

Crown Princess Pool and Sunbathing Tips:

• When arriving in the pool area, you will need to sign-out a towel. There will be a $22 charge per towel to your onboard account for each towel you fail to return. These are sturdy towels and if you want to purchase one, you can from the order form in your room.
• Babies & Infants in Pools: Princess's official policy is "no swim diapers, children must be potty trained." Princess stresses this point to all the families that bring their kids. We have not heard reports on whether or not the policy is strictly enforced.
• While Princess does its best to discourage this, sunbathers do show-up at 8 AM and try to hog the lounge chairs for the day.
• The Sanctuary"is not free. It costs 40 USD per person for a half day and 80 USD for a full day.
• Headphones are a must if a movie is playing in the Calypso Pool. Ask your Serenity Steward for details. The 40 USD fee for each half day block of time in the Sanctuary does cover the cost of MP3 Players.
• There's free popcorn at the Calypso Pool during the movie.
