Klstaack Posted May 24, 2016 #26 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Bit confused as part of the solarium had a pool last week with a small part with chairs in the water but the solarium at the very back also had a tiered one but all roped off with no water, so pools are there. Where did you see this? That pool sounds amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaPalms Posted May 24, 2016 #27 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Bit confused as part of the solarium had a pool last week with a small part with chairs in the water but the solarium at the very back also had a tiered one but all roped off with no water, so pools are there. I wish I could see a picture of it, I can't envision what you describe. Missus Makkem, are you referring to the "pools" that appear in the pictures below (posted by CruisenoviceUK on the Maiden Voyage thread)? Sorry but those are all hot tubs or whirlpools - not what we, or even Royal for that matter, consider a pool. Here are some pics from the Solarium. There are 3 hot tubs one each side then one at the front. There were also some hot tubs outside although not in use. Looking at these and the pictures heatherb1958's friend uploaded to http://s1327.photobucket.com/user/swintontraveller/library/Harmony%20of%20the%20seas%20Solarium?sort=3&page=1# showing the solarium areas, it does seem the only area where there's room for a pool to be added is where the leaf misters are and the strange area around it. Can it be done without dry dock? Can it be done without shutting down the solarium during a revenue cruise? Why would they leave the pool out to begin with if they intend to add it later??? Even for Royal, it just doesn't make sense. :confused: I think Royal decided to eliminate any plans for a pool here. And that makes even less sense. :( ~ Judy Edited May 24, 2016 by FloridaPalms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groucho Posted May 24, 2016 #28 Share Posted May 24, 2016 So my husband called C&A today to inquire about the "missing" pool in the Solarium on Harmony. He was told that there WILL be a pool in place for our sailing next Sept 2017. He of course didn't get any details and that's all I have, but I wanted to share the news. :) In my opinion, just more typical BS from Royal.

ChristieK0310 Posted May 24, 2016 #29 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I am on harmony now and have no idea where they would fit a pool in the solarium. there are three hot tubs although I haven't seen the one on the lowest level at the front open at all - seems to be a common theme unfortunately.

Rare little britain Posted May 24, 2016 #30 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The solarium is a huge disappointment after the wonderful area on Ovation. A bland space with rows of chairs and no pool..... Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but those are all hot tubs or whirlpools - not what we, or even Royal for that matter, consider a pool. I actually think Missus Makkem is mistakingly referring to a Quantum-class Solarium pool she saw recently. Those have the part with the chairs in the water and the tiered pools.

We will be cancelling because that is something we enjoy on the Oasis and allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted May 25, 2016 #43 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm late to this, I only just realized yesterday that there is no pool in the solarium. I've been watching people's periscopes and viewing photos and videos and just thought none of them had shown the pool or perhaps the area had been closed. How could there be NO pool at all?! That is mind boggling to me. The solarium pools on Oasis and Allure are already pathetic as it is, so they've done away with it entirely on Harmony? What do the deck plans say? I too saw the page on the RCI website which said there is a solarium pool. I'm on harmony next year so this is upsetting to me. [emoji30] I agree it looks like we will be cancelling our 2 cruises.

FloridaPalms Posted May 25, 2016 #44 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Terrible stupid decision on Royal's part. :mad: Kids get a greatly improved new water park and we get two misting leaves! :( ~ Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STANMELB Posted May 25, 2016 #45 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I agree it looks like we will be cancelling our 2 cruises. This along with the new decor and the changes to the loft showers in the Crown Lofts are very disappointing to us. However, we will keep our 04/2017 booking as we got a great price for a L1 Crown Loft, $4651. Hopefully they will keep the Suite Lounge and Coastal Kitchen perks the same as the Allure and Oasis.

Some people like slides. FWIW, on my recent trips on Enchantment and Brilliance, the solarium pool rarely had more than 5 people in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
