lizinindy Posted May 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Leaving on the Crown Princess next month for the southbound Alaska itinerary. Will I be able to swim in any of the pools. I know the Crown doesn't have a retractable roof but maybe the pools will be heated enough to get in a few laps? Also, is there anyplace on board with a scale to keep track of all the pounds I'll be gaining...er....NOT gaining since I'll be swimming...a lot...I hope! (Just finished reading the food thread....my "no weight gain" prospects look dismal!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukesubsailor Posted May 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I have been on two Alaskan cruises in August. On both cruises there were times when it was warm enough to use the pools when we were in a port. Just don't count on it when the ship is cruising near the glaciers. We needed coats, caps and gloves then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostatsea200 Posted May 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Try the gym, it will help. We usually loose weight on a cruise, watching the portions of food we eat and all the extra walking in ports. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamanfs Posted May 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Usually there is a scale in the gym, at least the ships we have been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted May 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The pools are heated. And there will be a scale on every ship in the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted May 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The scales in the gym work while the ship is docked. They don't give an accurate weight sometimes if the ship is moving. One of my favorite memories from our first Alaskan cruise was watching the beautiful sunset in Skagway from the hot tubs at the back of the ship. The light kept shifting colors as it reflected off the mountain glaciers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtclimbermom Posted May 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The pools were plenty warm on the Coral Princess when we were in Alaska. Even when the weather was cold and drizzly, we were warm in the pools. My kids swam in the pool when the ship was in Glacier Bay. They now have a joke that they were swimming in Glacier Bay. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinEars Posted May 22, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Also try the Lotus Spa Pool. On one of our cruises to AK we swam in there during the morning and it was warm and wonderful. I just ducked into the nearby unused sauna to dry off and put my coverup back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
