Carnival Pride Pool area

We will traveling in the winter out of Baltimore on the Pride.  I see there is a retractable roof over one of the pools, does that roof make it warm enough to swim and or sunbathe?

Thanks so much!

It gets very humid in there and feels like a sauna. You won't be sunbathing through a glass roof. People use the pool and hot tubs there.

We're not really pool people, but we do some sunbathing. All of our cruises on the Pride have been in February so weather can vary. It's cool on the first full sea day (Mon.), but for us, on most of our cruises, it's usually nice enough to sit at the outdoor pool by midday Tues. There was one February cruise that it was lightly snowing when we left Baltimore, and when we returned there was quite a bit of snow that had to be cleared from the parking lot and cars. 

 

Anyway, I only recall the roof being closed over the pool on one cruise for a day or so. On another Pride cruise they tried to close it but only were able to close it halfway due to a mechanical issue. We'll be on the Pride again in 2020 (Feb.). Maybe other folks who have been on the Pride in the winter might have a better answer for you, but that's been our experience. Have a nice time on the Pride...we love it!!!!

I have cruised 2 ships in the past with retractable roofs, and it gets very warm in there. As someone mentioned, like a sauna. So much, it may lull you to sleep! 😎

Great, thank you for the replies, I enjoy a nice sauna so I might enjoy it!
