sarahksmom Posted July 25, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi, When you are at sea, are the pools full? We are going on the Enchantment and have at sea days and would like to swim. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted July 25, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2010 yes, they are full all the time unless they are being cleaned or serviced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella2 Posted July 25, 2010 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Do you mean are the pools filled with water or is the pool area filled with people? :confused: Yes and yes. :D Seriously, yes, the areas directly around the pools can get crowded on sea days, but you can almost always find a lounge chair on the pool or sun deck, if you are willing to be a little farther from the actual pool.

John Henry on CC Posted July 25, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks! My husband said they were empty unless you were inport. I could not believe it. Your husband is odd. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin J Posted July 25, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes they are full . FYI - Most are saltwater pools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom kaplan Posted July 25, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes they are full . FYI - Most are saltwater pools On the Enchantment, there are 2 main pools, 1 saltwater and 1 freshwater. Both are full of water all the time and as others have said, the areas around them are rather crowded while at sea but not unbearable. Additionally, there are 4 hot tubs in the pool area. The Solarium is the adult-only pool, separate from the others. It is saltwater and has its own hot tub. Enjoy!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 25, 2010 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Do not count on actually "swimming"...you can get in and get wet, but there will be too many folks to actually swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted July 25, 2010 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I think that cruise ship pools are one of the most disappointing aspects of the trip to some people ... they are almost by necessity small (or smaller than a lot of hotel pools we might be used to) and always crammed with people on sea days.

Bakincakes Posted July 25, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2010 If you go early in the am you can get a nice swim in before the mobs arrive.:) The same in the solarium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Prix Racer Posted July 25, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I do not believe someone asked this question. Have you seen the images ok the tv ads that show people in the pool at sea? How about the question: Do the workers live on the ship or does a helicopter pick them up every night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehfl Posted July 28, 2010 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yes, there is water in the pools except when cleaning, or during rough seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted July 28, 2010 #14 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The pools and the area around them are empty when it is cold out! Seriously though I have found the adult only pool to be relatively empty most of the time including the area around it (except for the chair hogs :rolleyes:). If swimming means to actually propel oneself through the water from one end of the pool to the other, it is not reasonably possible. The pools are shallow also.
