Sanctuary

[Pickels]

We cruised once before on Princess, can’t recall which ship, but it was great!  On that cruise we reserved the Sanctuary;  does anyone know which Princess ships have the Sanctuary?  Thanks all!

All Princess ships have a Sanctuary apart from Majestic Princess which has the open-to-all Hollywood Conservatory instead.  Located in different locations depending on the ship, here is a list:

That's the cost for the loungers.  A Cabana can also be booked for $140 for a half day and $220 for a full day. This where you can book a covered area with sofa and loungers, TV with headphones, stocked mini-fridge and fruit platter.

Thank you! Happy Cruising!

Thanks all, love the Sanctuary, not worrying about chair hogs, and the service in the Sanctuary is top notch! Well worth the extra cost.

WOW! We are on a 22 day Cruise.

$40\day x 2 = $880\person X 2 = $1,760. 

Ops, I can save $220 x 2 = $440 since you can book the whole week at $30\day.

On Discovery Princess recently, some vloggers had to book the whole day for Glacier Bay and they paid  $60pp for a lounger. It was horribly wet and cold though and, although fully booked, it was almost empty for the duration.

On sky princess:

-how many can enjoy the Cabana?

-is there areas of sun in the Santuary - in essence, can u rent a cabana but still get some sun around you

 

 

thanking you in advance

Is the cabana worth it? I’m hoping to try it out during a port day but I’m not sure the upcharge will be worth it? Are the regular loungers shaded? ⛱️

Depends what you enjoy. It was quite relaxing to sit on a private sofa, work your way through the half bottle of spirits (we chose vodka) and cola and select from the fruit and nut nibbles. And yes we even listened to some of the music channels on the headphones for a while. The loungers tend to have greater protection from the sun too than the regular loungers (on Enchanted Princess) which suited our pale Brit complexions. 😁

I believe it's up to 4 people - you pay for the Cabana rental only.

On the more recent Royal class ships, I found the cabanas were less exposed to the sun than the loungers around the edges but it will depend on location and the position of the sun. For example, when we booked loungers for our port day in Crete on Sky Princess, the loungers were in the blazing sun on the day which wasn't apparent when we booked in Athens! So I made a point of booking Cabanas after that. You do get the sunlight but you don't get burned to a crisp!

One reason we dislike Sky Sanctuary is the lack of shade - more cabanas and fewer loungers.  Amount of shade in cabanas depends strongly on which way the ship is traveling.
