Norwegian Gem 10 day cruises... is the pool cleaned at any point?

I went on the Gem last summer (7 nights) and had a perfectly lovely time. My husband booked us for a 10 day cruise on her and I have one small concern... By the last full day of the cruise, the main pool was dirty and a bit stinky. Do they clean the pool (or drain and refill) at any point during the 10 days? Thank you!

When I worked for NCL, the policy was to drain and clean the pools at least once a week.

They will close it, drain it and scrub it if a child has an "accident" - #2- in the pool, or an adult "can't hold their liquor." :p Have seen that done a few times on our cruises!

I've seen it emptied and refilled on cruises. I've never experienced it looking dirty or smelly - and I've been on the Gem a lot.

We have never been on the Gem but have been on multiple other NCL ships and are late night people and always the last ones to leave the bar/club each night normally around 2AM and we walk by the pools and they have always been completely empty every night at that time so I could only assume all NCL ships do the same thing and drain and refill over night.

Thank you all. Hopefully that voyage was a fluke, quite relieved.
