MOTB Posted May 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I have bad knees and much prefer swimming pools with steps you can walk down, with a handrail (as on Riviera) rather than pool ladders, which I can find very difficult, if not impossible. Photos of the pool on Nautica suggest that access to the pool is via a ladder. Can anyone confirm this and how easy it is for them please? I would be able to manage the jacuzzis, but would like to get in the pool for a swim if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid that access is via a ladder and definitely not too easy, once in swimming is a challenge, seven strokes lengthwise and nine if you take the diagonal. I am a keen swimmer but sad to say this is one thing small ships don’t do too well. Rosalyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTB Posted May 25, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Maybe I'll just stick to the jacuzzi - the cruise is round Britain during the second half of September, so I can't be sure it will be open-air swimming weather anyway! Might be OK if they are nice solid wide steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted May 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Have not been on Nautica but Regatta has wide steps & railings to hot tubs probably the same set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTB Posted May 25, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Thanks. Looks identical to the photo of the Nautica pool, but they are sister ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
