I like new technology a lot.  But at times it can really be annoying.  Like here on the Coral Princess for instance.  With great pride, Princess installed a brand new outdoor screen for movie watching out on the deck.
The downside of this piece of technological wizardry is of course, that there is no escape from the beast, or rather its massive sound system.  As you can see everybody is transfixed by the screen, showing a kids' movie by the way.  It's so damned intrusive!   So what to do?
Well, Princess has come up with a very nifty method to escape this intrusion and it's this -

Or to put it another way the notice board tells it more exactly -
Yes, once you pass through this little gate you enter a so-called sanctuary, where you can relax minus children and of course, the noise of the movie screen.  For a $20 fee of course. So that is the cost of silence.  Not a bad scheme for the owners of course.
