Children's program/pools on Caribbean Princess

[cruisebermuda]

Hello! A few quick questions about the Caribbean Princess children's programs (specifially the 3-7 age group)

 

What are the hours? Are they different on port/non port days?

At what times do extra charges apply, i.e. late night?

 

What is the pool? Is it a 1 foot deep pool? Is there a slide? I heard something about a splash pool too...

 

Thanks in advance!

OK, if no one knows...maybe someone has the link to the kids program patters? :)

Fun Zone hours on sea days: 09:00 - 12:00, 2pm - 5pm, 7pm- 10pm.

Port days the program is available from 8:00am - 5:00pm. They will take the kids to lunch in the buffet.

Late night group kid-sitting is from 10:00 pm - 1:00 am, at $5.00 per child/per hour.

Cheers.

I have never seen a shallow pool on Princess that is less than about 3 feet deep. Princess does not have slides in their pools either, Carnival though is famous for their pool slides. ;)

Not sure about the CB, but the picture below is of the kiddie pool on the Crown Princess.

Thanks!! That's the pool pic I have been looking for...I am sure it's a similar one. We have been on another princess with the same one (can't remember which ship...maybe the Grand?) and it was about 1 foot deep.

Thanks!! Do you know if you leave a port by 4 or 5, do they open that night from 7-10pm?

Ahhh... it must be in the Fun Zone, where I've never been or seen. :( No matter what, I'm pretty sure the child must be 100% potty trained, no swim diapers.

Yes, on a port day when it is open from 8-5, they will re-open as per normal and resume activities from 7pm - 10pm.

This is what the kiddie pool looks like on the Caribbean Princess.

And from a review of a recent cruise on the CB:

 

"Also, the kiddie pool, which only has about a foot of water...."
