augies Posted June 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We are thinking about trying the sanctuary for the first time on the Crown in January. I can't find the price on the Princess website. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, I would appreciate any comments about the sanctuary on the Crown. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted June 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) All ships the same. $20 per chair per half-day. $40 for full day. If book for the full cruise, $30/day. IMO, Crown/Ruby/Emerald/Caribbean have about the best Sanctuaries due to plenty of shaded area as well as open are for sun lovers. Quiet and pretty decent wind break for the shaded area.

Betty in Cozumel Posted June 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2019 You have to pay to go to the quiet Adults-only area on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but there are plenty of places (area depends on the ship) that are quiet, usually free of kids and free. The Terrace pool is adults only, but sometimes the sign is ignored. The Lotus Spa/Lap Pool is adults only (never seen kids there). If there's an Adagio Bar &/or a Skywalker, not strictly adults only, but usually kid free. Most areas are generally "adults only" simply because there are few children (school holidays and some itineraries excepted) and most of them will be in the kid's club or one of the pools on Lido deck.

You only pay for the Sanctuary, where you pay for some service, a reserved nicely cushioned lounge in a place of your choice. Other adult areas are no charge. You will only find lots of youth during school vacation times and mostly on cruises that are a week or less long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet and pretty decent wind break for the shaded area. A photo posted by Host CJSKIDS of the new cushions on The Sanctuary loungers after the Caribbean’s recent shipyard maintenance shows a big change...10”-12” is now 1.5”-2” and is much less comfortable.

Steelers36 Posted June 15, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yes, I saw that post. I can report the cushions on REGAL last week were the same original ones. We did not use Sanctuary, but I did a walk-through on Day 1 to check it out for any changes from our last trip on Regal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauon Posted June 15, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It is worth every penny for the serene quiet area, as well as your own reserved chair. Comes free with the full suites. If you like to read and relax... this is the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have as many people and had plenty of areas that were "free and quiet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauon Posted June 15, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We book a suite or buy it everytime, not worth the risk of loud children or adults, chair hogs, etc.... To each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that full suites still have to pony up $$ for the Sanctuary...🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted June 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Sanctuary is not free for full suites. On some ships you get thermal spa access free with a full suite but that is not the Sanctuary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
