Golden Princess - Pool Hoist

Hi all

I am hoping someone may have cruised on the Golden Princess and have first hand knowledge regarding whether there is a hoist for pool access? I would love to have a swim as we will spend most of our cruise on-board rather than going ashore as we are travelling in familiar territory.

TIA

I didn't find out there was one on Golden until I had a chance to talk to someone who knew. He said that all Princess ships, at least the larger ones, had them available. There is a hoist that can be put in and used for the outside pool (by MUTS). Ask at the passenger service desk. If they say no, ask the hotel manager.

Don't bet on it actually working, or any of the crew knowing how to operate it though. That has been our experience on Princess with pool or hot tub lifts as well as lifts in other public areas of the ships.

Thanks - guess it will turn into a bit of an exercise either way.

For any one else requiring assistance there was a great response to my thread on the Princess Forum - with photos:
