bahamaman Posted January 4, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2010 OK this may seem like a dumb question, but from what i have previously read all the pools on a cruise ship are salt water. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 4, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2010 They can pump the salt water out of the ocean. it is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandmrs_king Posted January 4, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Wow. I never knew that. I guess it makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 4, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2010 It is filtered----clear as freshwater, tho. Until you're in it, you won't know it's salt-water. There's a freshwater shower on deck, so you can rinse the salt water off, before you sun. (Otherwise, you tend to get a film of dried salt on you!!!)

Shifra Posted January 4, 2010 #7 Share Posted January 4, 2010 There are a few lines that have fresh water pools. Princess and I think also Holland America. There may be others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy Posted January 7, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Not all pools on all lines are saltwater; however, the saltwater is emptied each night and fresh saltwater pumped in each day, which we feel is much more sanitary for whatever reason.

Rare mitsugirly Posted January 18, 2010 #9 Share Posted January 18, 2010 :p I remember the first cruise I took. I couldn't wait to jump in the crystal clear water. YIKES! A mouth full of salt water caught me completely off guard! Then of course, the water was freezing as well and we couldn't hardly stand to be in it.
