Jewel Of The Seas - Heated Pools?

[pilotboy1985]

Hi Everyone,

I've sailed on Mariner and Navigator a couple times and I found their pools to be a little chilly, so I'm assuming they don't heat them?

 

I'll be sailing on my first Radiance class ship (Jewel) and I'm curious if their pool will be any warmer? Will it be salt water like the Mariner and Navigator?

Pools are salt water and not heated.

I believe the Radiance class use desalinated sea water...Just off Radiance Alaska and the main pool was heated....

Solar heat...the sun will heat the pools quickly, if it's warm out!

One poster says no heated pool, one says heated pool... The plot thickens!

 

I guess I'll wait till November and see what happens. :)

Except for the hot tubs, there are no heated pools beyond which might be naturally heated by the sun or air.

There was definitely no "sun" heating our Radiance pool a few weeks ago in Alaska...and the main outdoor pool was heated ;)

 

Maybe the ROS is different than the other Radiance class pools. :confused:

We were on the Jewel a few years back doing a Transatlantic and the pool was very cold. A few of us spoke to the cruise director and the following day, the water had been heated considerably and remained that way for the rest of the cruise. So it seems they can heat the water if they want to.
