gailgeorge Posted March 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Does the Grand Princess have a covered pool to be used when it is sailing in Alaska? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted March 2, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2013 You will find this, and so much else Princess info over on the Princess board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted March 3, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Is it like the HAL retractable glass roofs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 3, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Very similar -- we have sailed on the Grand a couple of times. Not all Princess ships have the retractable roofs over one pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 3, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks. We haven't sail Princess in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northshorecruisers Posted March 3, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yes, there is a retractable roof over the main pool on the Grand Princess. There is also an aft pool, but I don't know what they do with that in Alaska. On our Western Caribbean trip there were a couple times that a stage was put over it for a band to play at sailaway from a port or later in the evening.

sail7seas Posted March 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Probably same as the open to the air aft pools on HAL ships. DH actually was able to sit out on deck a few afternoons when we returned from touring. We had great weather in Alaska and the fresh air at the pool was delightful for him and some others. Certainly other times it would be rainy or cold or unpleasant and that area remains unused in those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraftyEC Posted March 4, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The Grand Princess has a fairly large pool, covered by a retractable dome, next to the buffet. On our most recent cruise (GP to the Canaries) I did see people eating in that area, and there is one area for smokers, but didn't see a single person actually in the main pool, even when it was open, but the weather was not, to say the least, good! The pool was drained at times because of high seas. I'm sure you will be a hardier lot on your Alaska cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
