Dutchman Posted August 4, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Does anyone know how I can find out which ships have freshwater pools VS sea water? Would I have to go to each specific line that I may be interestd in sailing on to find this information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spcl4cs_gal Posted August 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I was under the impression the all of the Vista ships had fresh water in their pools...not too sure about the others though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoth Posted August 6, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2004 The Maasdam, Statendam, and Oosterdam each had fresh water pools when I sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillfrantic Posted August 6, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2004 All the Disney Cruise Line Pools are fresh water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillfrantic Posted August 6, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Things brings up a question about the Zuiderdam though. Are the pools heated? If not are they so warm from the weather than I shouldn't worry, or are they so cold, I'll never want to swim?:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted August 6, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Yes, the pools are heated. Sometimes they are too hot. On my last cruise, myself and a number of other pax asked to have the temperature turned down. The following day it was much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicnsue Posted August 11, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2004 We are planning our first HAL cruise, glad to hear the pools are fresh water. Are the pools open when we get on board? We like to carry on our suits and start the vacation with a drink and a swim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALCruiseStaff Posted August 11, 2004 #11 Share Posted August 11, 2004 S-Class ships generally have the outdoor AFT pool as a filtered salt water pool and the indoor midship pool on lido deck as a regular pool. both are clorinated due to sanitary reasons, the aft one has a hint of salt water. keep in mind, it's dependant on location and time of year...

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 11, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2004 :) I have rarely seen a pool open when we get on a ship. The nets are usually drawn over the pools until we leave port. Many are not filled until we get out into the open waters. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F5Loar Posted August 12, 2004 #13 Share Posted August 12, 2004 On our Maasdam in June the mid pool was fresh and the aft pool was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
