Cruise ship poolside theater

Cruise ship poolside theater

A cruise ship poolside theater is a giant LED screen, ranging from around 250 to 350 square feet (33 m2). It is complemented with a large, 50,000-80,000 watt sound system. The theater is usually placed facing the main swimming pool of a cruise ship. The theater can be used to display news, sporting events, poolside activities, concerts, and movies.

The poolside theater was first introduced in 2004 on the Caribbean Princess, and was built with or installed on other ships in Princess's fleet. Princess named their poolside theaters as "Movies Under The Stars", however, the theater is used all day. But, the "Movies Under The Stars" is also the name for the service that is used for showing movies in the nighttime. For the nighttime movies (weather permitting), cushions and blankets are placed over the deck chairs, and popcorn is provided.[1]

In 2005 Carnival Cruise Lines launched their first ship with a poolside theater, the Carnival Liberty. Carnival named their poolside theaters as "Carnival's Seaside Theater". Since the launch of the Carnival Liberty, currently every new cruise ship built by Carnival has the "Carnival Seaside Theater" added.[2] In 2005 and in 2006, Disney Cruise Lines has installed its own poolside theater during both ships refurbishments. Costa Cruises also has also introduced poolside theaters on its Concordia-class fleet.
