LDVinNC Posted February 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi. We will be on the Ryndam crossing from Tampa to Rotterdam leaving April 1st. I know it will be chilly on the Atlantic, and wonder if they are likely to close the cover over the Lido pool and if they do, will it be warm enough to swim? I'd appreciate any input.

IMO you should be able to utilize the Lido pool. The thing that may close it is rough seas. We did a TA on the Rotterdam last May from Fort Lauderdale to Rotterdam. We enjoyed nice weather for the first four days of the 8 day crossing until we sailed into a weather system that created thirty foot seas for the last four day prior to our first port in Cork, Ireland. The pool was than closed and access to the Promendade Desk was shut off at times. So depending on sea conditions you may be able to enjoy the aft and Lido pools.

Dive Master Posted February 22, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Lido pool was nicely heated on our Caribbean cruise last year.They also opened and closed the roof as needed.I am hoping for the same next week on the beautiful Ryndam.

Rare kazu Posted February 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You should be able to use the pool. We came back on the Prinsendam last November (it is the only HAL ship with the cover for the pool). The weather was so glorious people were in the pool and around it all the time:):) If you have smooth seas so they don't have to close the pool, then it should be very comfortable with the retractable roof. definitely pack a bathing suit - don't make my mistake :eek: i didn't last time, figuring it would be 'too cold' Have a great cruise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner2 Posted February 23, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2012 LDVinNC I'll certainly see you at the pool! I'm planning on swimming a lot on that cruise as well. See you at the Meet and Greet if not sooner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
