Mediterranean cruise end of May - use of pools

Will be on the RC Symphony of the Seas for the May 27th sailing through June 3rd, departing from Barcelona. It may be a stupid question because obviously the weather can change at a moments notice, but hoping for those cruisers that have sailed within this time frame and in this area of the world - what are the chances that we would use the pools. I am assuming that if it's too cool for the pool, the hot tubs will be packed . . .

You have a very good chance of using the pool during this timeframe. I like this time of the year to sail the Med.

according to the AccuWeather website, the average historical temperature for Barcelona on May 27: high 73F/low 61F

...which is virtually identical to most of your home state that time of year: Nashville 80/61; Chattanooga 82/61; Knoxville 80/59.

So unless you consider it too cool to go swimming at home in May, you will be fine on the Western Med, which is much more temperate than the rest of Europe.

OP is not sailing HAL, however, for anyone who may b e, the main pool on HAL ships, is under a retractable roof. they often open and close the roof in Aalaska as those roofs make it possible for swimming on most itinneraries.

You can definitely use the pools during this time of year. Weather should be nice.

The pools will be fine...

But then again I am the girl who was in the unheated pool in the Baltics.

Must be the British temperament .

Does your ship have heated pools? If they're heated, you can swim when it's freezing outside. (Getting out isn't much fun.)

I have sailed there in early June, I did use the pools a lot, but some days at sea the wind factory made it cooler.

I believe that the Symphony has a covered adult pool complex (on the pool deck)....so even if the weather is not great....adults do have access to a pool.

We sailed the Med the end of May a number of years ago. It was hotter than blazes when we went and we loved having the pool available. My 2 boys were in it all the time.
