Royal Princess Adult Only Sanctuary and Retreat Pool & Bar, FULL Tour, Slow, with all Details!

Feb 27, 2023 while at the port of San Diego

The Retreat Pool & Bar is free, but the Sanctuary costs money

Up on the top deck, passengers will find that two of the line’s signature features - The Sanctuary and the line’s popular adults-only pool – have also been enhanced with new features including private cabanas for the first time.

In the Lotus Spa, cruisers will find a welcoming feel and contemporary, sophisticated décor, as well as more treatment rooms than any other Princess spa. New features include private Couples Villas and The Enclave – a thermal suite that is triple the size of any existing Lotus Spa. Here passengers can totally decompress with new relaxing options such as the Hammam (a Turkish-style steam room), the Caldarium (an herbal steam room), the Laconium (a dry heat sauna) and the line’s first-ever hydro-therapy pool.

Sanctuary
With a new look and feel, the larger Sanctuary features fresh décor plus two new private cabana options along with its plush loungers and Serenity Stewards. Meanwhile, the Retreat Pool provides a serene spot for a dip, along with its new poolside cabanas that offer an extra peaceful haven for passengers looking to recharge. The three new private cabana options will give passengers the opportunity to personalize their relaxation time. Cabana guests looking for a gourmet treat can order one of the ship’s new cabana picnic baskets, packed with artisan edibles paired with a premium wine. And, this area will turn into the “Chill Lounge” at night, offering passengers a relaxed outdoor space to enjoy the night with drinks and music.

Sanctuary and Retreat Pool Features:

The Sanctuary – This oasis of tranquility includes all the special touches that have made The Sanctuary so popular since it was first introduced in 2006, plus a number of new features. With a 20 percent larger space than on the line’s other ships, The Sanctuary adds four private Sanctuary Cabanas for more luxurious experience, plus two Lotus Spa Cabanas offering an elegant private space for a range of spa treatments. Featuring the air of a romantic hideaway under its distinctive white canopy cover, The Sanctuary design includes strategically placed rock gardens and special topiary planting with atmospheric lighting. These new elements create an inviting path leading to a new central pavilion. Passengers can relax on luxurious plush lounge chairs or circular daybeds, while Serenity Stewards provide healthy refreshments and music players with peaceful music. Space in The Sanctuary can be reserved for $20 for a half day/$40 for a full day, per person.

Sanctuary Cabanas – Within The Sanctuary, four new Sanctuary Cabanas offer an even more exclusive and special experience with amenities such as a personal television with noise-reducing wireless headphones, cushy sofas, luxurious robe and slippers, a welcome cocktail, and healthy snacks including nuts, and dried and fresh fruit. The cabana also features a fully stocked mini-bar with refreshing waters and sodas, as well as a choice of alcoholic options, including beer or wine. Sanctuary Cabanas are available beginning at $80 for a half day.

Lotus Spa Cabanas/Royal Indulgence Package – The two new, luxurious Lotus Spa Cabanas offer a truly special alfresco massage experience. These larger, enclosed areas provide added privacy, a comfortable resting area with a television and plush chairs, a treatment area with two massage tables for a refreshing couples massage and beautiful ocean views looking out over the front of the ship. A variety of customized packages are available for the Lotus Spa Cabanas, ranging from $320 to $3,000. The top of the line package is a “Royal Indulgence” package for four people. This exclusive experience provides the ultimate in pampering with all-day massages and gourmet food and beverage offerings.

Retreat Pool – Adjacent to The Sanctuary, the Retreat Pool provides an exclusive area for adults to relax and rejuvenate. The Retreat Pool on Royal Princess offers more space and seating than the adult pools on other Princess vessels, plus adds new Retreat Cabanas that can be reserved for an enhanced experience. These cabanas are the perfect way to enjoy private space poolside, or even add the indulgence of one of the ship’s special picnic baskets. The Retreat Pool is open to all adults, and Retreat Pool Cabana rental is available beginning at $50 for a half day. At night, this area turns into the “Chill Lounge,” offering passengers a relaxed outdoor space to enjoy the night with drinks and music.

I will be on the Royal Princess on March 12, 2023 sailing from Frisco to Hawaii. I will not be getting off the ship in Ensenada, Mexico thanks to your last video. Sorry about the loss of your iphone 12. Keep these great videos coming.

I totally agree that many videos move through to quickly and dont give you a good sense of what the area is like. Thanks for taking the time to do a longer video. I will be on Royal Princess in Sept, and it will be nice to have a sense of what to expect.

Thank you so much for posting this video! You are right on when you said that there aren’t a lot of videos that go into detail about the Sanctuary specifically on Royal. Will be on the Royal in June and I had looked before for a tour video and couldn’t find one.
