Poll: Keep Adult Only Pool Areas Yes or No?

I'm on the Horizon TA. My first. And we booked the Havana balcony. Now it'll probably be too chilly to swim, but will love the space!

And hot tubs!

That's good to know. When we were on the Breeze July 2nd kids were still allowed in the aft pool. Maybe it will just take time to roll it back on all the ships.

The aft pool on Breeze has always been family friendly which is the only thing about this ship I didn't like. Love kids, but like adult time too!! Serenity is great but impossible to find a chair unless you camp out at dawn!;p

I agree with you, Pat. We are going on the Breeze in December because I wanted my adult kids to be able to enjoy the ropes course. Lack of an adult pool on Breeze almost made me book Freedom instead. Then, the talk started about Freedom's aft pool being family friendly, so I figured what difference does it make now. Well, of course, now it's back to aft adult I hear. I just really wish Breeze's aft pool could be adult as well. Anyway, I think the kids will enjoy the ropes course and the slides are different on Breeze as well.

I agree with the person who said there should be age brackets. Traveling with my 12 year old, it would be nice to be able to go into the adult only area. At that age they aren't unruly, screaming, splashing in the hot tubs etc...

Well, many would not be unruly, but some 12-yr olds certainly could be.

Carnival HAS established a precedent for using age 12 as a cutoff -- in the Havana area on Vista -- so who knows? Maybe they could change their policy to allow "Mature-acting children ages 12 and up." :)

College students & young adults 21+ can also get unruly. Perhaps it should be mature and acting persons 12 and up. LOL [emoji23]

There you go! One reason I don't want to do those short cruises, I hear there are too many drunk obnoxious people. Peoples opinion of "mature" and "well behaved" may be different though [emoji5]

The beards and bean counters at Carnival have decided that families and newbies (blue cards) are where their marketing efforts are going to be. If you wish for an adults only pool on their new builds (Vista & Horizon) you need to pay extra to stay in the Havana area. Which we will gladly do next September out of NYC and the following February out of Miami.

Hopefully they keep the Havana area on all their new ships, I will GLADLY pay the up charge for an area like this

It looks like it will probably be an area on their new builds since they slightly increased the number of Havana cabins comparing the numbers currently available on the Vista versus future availability on the Horizon, obviously to generate additional dollars.

Whether it will be in the same area of the ship on the next generation LNG class is of course pure speculation at this point.

So glad I got a Havana Room on the Horizon TA. As of now only suites left.

RCCL cancelled a cruise and many jumped to Horizon.

Glad to report it is back to adults only on Conquest as per my personal experience last month :D

I voted yes, but whatever results you get from this will be greatly skewed based on the CC posters, which I imagine the majority would vote yes. In all reality, CCL will keep doing whatever it feels it needs to do family/kid friendly wise to gain market share.

I'm happy with the serenity deck. The Spirit Class the aft pool is the serenity deck. Does this mean kids are welcome on the serenity deck? A little confusing.

From the overwhelming response they received maybe partially from here, but also from the many emails, FB posts, and phone calls, their policy of making the Aft pools family friendly all the time has been reversed.

Is that posted somewhere/all ships?

JH had posted it a while back and it is available for viewing in the FunTimes. This is from last month on Conquest. The full version of the FunTimes in case anyone is interested can be seen here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2538649

It seems that most people want to have an adults only pool, even those who have kids with them on the cruise.

That's what I gather as well. Even when my boys were little, we did spend time with them at the midship pool, but it was nice to get away for a little bit to the aft one when they were in Camp Carnival.

The Spirit class ships have Serenity area with a small pool. Those ships were not affected by Carnival's decision. The aft pool, because it's part of serenity, always was adults only.

No, this has nothing to do with Serenity and was only for the Conquest Class ships plus Victory and Splendor.

LOOOOVEED it when the aft pool was adults only. Regardless hanging around the aft pool is my fave spot. The only time I've ever found it crowded with kids is when the main pool was closed temporarily. Otherwise it's generally been mostly adults in my experience.

I think most people like an adult only area. I do!

We have a Havana cabin on deck 7 very close to the stairs for quick trips to the pool and bar. Can't wait for the TA. We aren't flying over. Doing a TA on NCL Star to get to Barcelona
