Summary of Ruby Princess Outdoor Amenities
Tour of the Ruby Princess Swimming Pools, Sanctuary, and Outdoor Youth Center
The outdoor common areas of the Ruby Princess are as inviting as the spaces found indoors. With two large swimming pools located on the Lido Deck—Neptune’s Pool and the Calypso Pool—there are numerous options for guests. The impressive 300 square foot, 69,000-watt “Movies Under the Stars” screen overlooks the Calypso Pool, featuring a variety of films and shows throughout the day. For those desiring a more tranquil outdoor environment, Neptune’s Pool offers a quieter retreat, or guests can opt for The Sanctuary, a serene area adjacent to the Lotus Spa, available for an additional fee ($10 for a half-day).
Additionally, aft on the Lido Deck presents one of the most enjoyable outdoor spots. The Outrigger Bar and Horizon Deck provide exceptional views of the Terrace Pool and the ship’s wake.
Children aboard the Ruby Princess can delight in their own outdoor area located at the Sports Deck, right behind the Youth Center.

Sanctuary for Relaxation
For those seeking solitude on the Ruby Princess, the Sanctuary offers a tranquil, spa-like environment featuring signature beverages, light meals, massages, attentive service, and calming entertainment.
During their time in the Sanctuary, guests will be attended to by Serenity Stewards, who provide complimentary chilled face towels, Evian water atomizers, and a menu that includes healthy beverages and light bites. These stewards also rent personal MP3 players loaded with curated playlists aimed at relaxation.
The Sanctuary boasts private outdoor cabanas where patrons can indulge in various exclusive Lotus Spa Services, such as Deep Tissue Muscle Massages or Full Body Massages suitable for couples. Short, rejuvenating massage sessions will also be available, focusing on specific areas like the back, shoulders, and neck.
While enjoying the exclusive services, guests can lounge in a lush, green setting enhanced by gentle breezes and soft ocean sounds, all complemented by serene spa music. Comfortable outdoor furniture, including double loungers for couples and deluxe chaise lounges, invites relaxation.
As the day comes to a close, guests can partake in sunset yoga sessions, offering a peaceful way to unwind amidst beautiful surroundings.
Guests in the Sanctuary are treated to a diverse selection of specialty drinks and snacks, thoughtfully created for this unique space. Daily offerings from the Serenity Stewards include healthy smoothies, energy drinks, flavored iced waters, and freshly squeezed lemonade. Additionally, a choice of light bites such as refreshing fruit skewers and lettuce-wrapped spring rolls adds to the indulgence.
However, patrons should note that access to this haven comes with a nominal charge of $10 per person for each period, with periods defined as morning (from 8 am to 12:30 pm) and afternoon (from 1 pm to 5 pm or later).
