Creator's Key Takeaways
It's a peaceful escape compared with the main pools with comfortable cushioned lounges and a calmer atmosphere.
My advice is to go along and give it a try at least once, even if you just want to watch others wipe out for a bit of entertainment.
It's a brilliant casual option on a sea day if you don't fancy the buffet.
It's one of the best secret spots on board, perfect for sailaways.
