Princess Cruises–Special Deck Amenities

Which Ships: Grand Princess, Star Princess,Golden Princess, Caribbean Princess,Diamond Princess, Sapphire Princess, Crown Princess, Emerald Princess and Ruby Princess

Sun Deck: If you want to be in the heart of the action, stick to the Calypso Reef and Neptune's Reef areas amidships. Key components include large pools, hot tubs, bars, silly pool games, musical entertainment and dining options. Plus, all ships, save for Caribbean Princess, Crown Princess, Ruby Princess and Emerald Princess, feature a sliding-glass roof that covers the Calypso Reef and pool. This is particularly useful in Alaska and Europe's Baltic during inclement weather. At night, the Calypso area is transformed into a swim-in cinema scenario. And we refer again to the fabulous Movies Under the Stars feature, available on most Princess ships.

Plus, spa pools, nestled in the courtyard of each Lotus Spa, offer a swim-against-the-current feature.

Distinctions: On Crown Princess, the line went a step further and introduced the concept of The Sanctuary, an adults-only haven with pampering services and at-your-deck-chair drink and snack delivery. The idea proved so popular that The Sanctuary can be found on all Princess ships (except Ocean Princess and Pacific Princess). And if you want to kick back and relax without paying a premium, there's also the Terrace pool area -- definitely off the big-ship beaten path -- tucked away aft.

Poolside Dining: You can have pizza at the Neptune and burgers at Trident Grill. At the Sanctuary, healthful fare, such as tuna pate and fruit drinks, is available for a small service fee.
