The resort season in Cranz began on May 15 and ended on September 15. The season was divided into three stages: the pre-season (May — June), the season (July — August), and the post-season (September). The opening of the season was marked by the raising of the flag at the Corso Square.

There were certain rules for all vacationers that had to be strictly observed. Those who arrived at the resort had to notify the local authorities at once, otherwise, they faced a fine. Registration took place at the Resort Administration Office. All Cranz guests arriving on their own between May 15 and September 15 paid the so-called resort fee. During the pre-season and post-season, the resort fee amounted to 50% of the season fee. The arrival and departure days were counted together as one day. Housekeepers were counted as family members. In 1900, the resort fee for a stay of 3 to 14 days amounted to 5 marks per person and 10 marks for a family, for a stay of up to 6 weeks — 9 and 15 marks respectively, and for a stay of over 6 weeks — 12 and 20 marks respectively. The resort fee per person was increased if an adult was accompanied by a child under 12 years of age, and if there were several children, the family fee was charged. In 1929, the daily resort fee was 75 pfennigs per person, and the family fee for the entire vacation amounted to 60 marks. Resort fee bills were delivered to the guests by the resort personnel at the specified place of stay the day after the arrival.

Cranz visitors received resort passes. These documents gave them the right to attend specified areas equipped for swimming and to participate in various sports and entertainment events organized by the resort administration. The pass was accompanied by a key to the Strandkorb beach chair, assigned to the guest for the duration of the vacation.

During World War II, the resort administration also issued and distributed beach passes. Such a pass was provided free of charge to local residents and allowed them to visit the East and West Baths in accordance with curfew restrictions. Most likely, the displayed beach pass was issued in 1942–1944. It does not indicate a serial number or the amount of the resort fee, which also distinguishes the beach pass for local residents from the resort pass for Cranz visitors.
