Someone who is currently sailing on the Crown posted this information
on cruise critics. According to him the $15 fee is for 4 hours in the
Sanctuary, morning or afternoon. Also from what I have read, there are
drinks/food served there, but there is a $3.oo service charge, it
isn't free. If they continue this policy, they won't have many people
in there at all.
