QueenofEverything Posted August 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The pool in the Yacht Club is salt water. I think they all are, but I'm not sure. The hot tubs are fresh water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Best Cat Mom Posted August 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The Jacuzzi in the Thermal Spa is salt water. Not sure about any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadaboutgal Posted August 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Just a note: ship pools that are "salt" water are chlorinated just as many home pools that are salt water are chlorinated. In salt water pools, the natural process of electrolysis turns the salt into chlorine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DipBrat Posted August 30, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Just a note: ship pools that are "salt" water are chlorinated just as many home pools that are salt water are chlorinated. In salt water pools, the natural process of electrolysis turns the salt into chlorine. Ship salt water pools are different than your home or condo "salt water pool". Your home salt water pool is using salt to create chlorine. It ends up with a lower amount for a chemistry reason I don't understand but still smells and feels like a pool though better than others. On cruise ships that use salt water they take sea water and put it in their pools. It feels like swimming in the ocean. I understand if they are in port and can't circulate it with fresh ocean or sea water they need to start to add chlorine but maybe this is a US only regulation as on Med cruises with salt water pools I have been on I never smelled any chlorine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mygreyhound66 Posted August 31, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I would love a concrete answer since I am on the davina out of Rome this October coming back to Miami. I am extremely allergic to bromine, so usually don’t use the hot tubs on cruises. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted August 31, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2018 What we found fascinating was a recent discussion (somewhere on CC) about how it is not necessary to add chlorine to salt water pools. It is possible to simply convert some of the salt water to chlorine (a process similar to electrolysis) which saves having to manually add chemicals. For some strange reason we find those chlorinated systems less bothersome when we are in the water....then pools where they simply dump-in chlorinated salts (which burn my eyes).

Traveler-14344 Posted August 31, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Used the Jungle Pool a lot during our cruise last May. I was using goggles when swimming so it didn't bothered my eyes but I noticed my black underpants faded (compared to the ones I didn't use in the pool) a bit after not rinsing them thoroughly. This makes me think that there might be some kind of chemical (bleaching agent perhaps) used to produce the salt water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxsillyx Posted September 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Is the pool heated during the winter months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojogingerwood Posted June 14, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I would never have thought to ask but I expect its obvious when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
