mizzoufinal4 Posted August 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Does Carnival have any ship with pools that have retractable roofs on them? Just wondering as we are thinking about going on a Jan. cruise and it could be a little cool for swimming even in florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doberdog2 Posted August 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Triumph used to, not sure since the upgrade to 2.0. Not sure how they used it. It seemed always open when we were on there a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some pics that I've seen and reviews that I've read, the Conquest has a retractable roof on the aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted August 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Conquest Class, Spirit Class, Splendor come to mind. Probably Triumph and Victory. No on Dream Class, Sunshine Class, Fantasy Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted August 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Legend has a retractable roof which was drawn over for our entire Baltic cruise (I think they did this because they cant move it when ship is moving). The temperature ranged from 65-75 and the pool was often busy and the less sheltered pools had people in them sometimes. However we did find that kids dominated the covered pool. I am also sure that the Splendor has an indoor pool as it was originally built for Costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob&Bonnie Posted August 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Glory aft pool had a retractable roof as of last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobberDog Posted August 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Triumph still has the aft retractable roof on it. They opened and closed it several times on our 5 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted August 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Glory aft pool had a retractable roof as of last summer As does Victory (as of Apr. 2011) can't see them removing it... And so does Valor, even though doing the Southern Caribbean route it'll get used only on very rainy days, I imagine. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted August 20, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2013 They can and do retract the cover while the ship is moving. It is warm enough in January to be in the pool on sea days sailing out of Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted August 20, 2013 #11 Share Posted August 20, 2013 when the roof is open and closing, be prepare to hear a lot of clucking. here is a video from the splendor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is warm enough in January to be in the pool on sea days sailing out of Florida. True, as we've seen it happen on a couple of our cruises. I think though that the sea and wind need to be at relatively calm levels before they will open/close the roof while under way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH himself said they could not do it while the ship was moving on the Baltic cruise before ours and Brent mentioned the same on our cruise as well that we just got off today. Possibly a new enforcement on Spirit ships as Baltic winds can be gentler than Caribbean ones....sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No on Dream Class, Sunshine Class, Fantasy Class. when the roof is open and closing, be prepare to hear a lot of clucking. here is a video from the splendor: That was neet. I think the aft-mounted retractable roofs (on Liberty, Victory et al) aren't quite as big, but I still want to see one of 'em "in action" someday. It was closed several times on Liberty due to rain but I never caught it rolling. I'm wondering how the decision to open/close is made, and if it's at the discretion of the bridge.
