Rare Murray's Pop Posted February 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Will be on the Grand in September to Alaska. Does anyone know if the Calypso pool is covered and heated on an Alaska cruise? Curious, as all of our many cruises in the past have only been warm weather cruises. Thanks!

The Calypso pool is covered (also with an upper deck) and no, I don't think the water was heated for Alaska ... burrrr!! Maybe I am just a wimp but it sure didn't feel heated when we went on her to Alaska in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted February 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2019 More often than not it is heated. But that's a relative term. I've experienced water that was warmer than the hottubs and water that felt like it was pulled straight out of the Pacific. Generally, the pools seem to be heated for Alaska itineraries.

Coffeeluvr05 Posted February 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Yep, covered and heated. It’s also a wave pool in rough seas 🤣 CC29F98F-0584-4C04-8205-0158C67A8FBF.MOV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate P.C Posted February 15, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hahah that is funny! I believe it is heated, but most of them should be for Alaska itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneyochem Posted February 18, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2019 We're on the Grand on the Alaskan cruise in May. I'll let you know! I too am a wimp (usually get a thermal spa pass on an Alaskan cruise) so am interested in knowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubi Posted February 19, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We learned years ago while swimming in one of the ship's pools, that if someone asks us if the pool is cold, the first thing we ask is where are you from? LOL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieMac67 Posted February 19, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I will be going to Alaska in May and I will let you have my spot in the pool. I live in Arizona and if my pool is cooler than 85 I will not go in it. But I will be happy to watch and see who turns blue. Ha Ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, life is hard when you cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live near Sacramento and during the summer our pool is usually over 85, and we are pretty much the same as you. Oh well.... will wait and see.

Rare Murray's Pop Posted February 20, 2019 Author #14 Share Posted February 20, 2019 So no thermal spa, but are the sauna and steam rooms available to all who use the gym? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, steam and sauna in the spa/gym area, open to anyone whether you use the gym or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMMariner Posted February 21, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 21, 2019 We were on the Golden last year for two weeks from Vancouver to Alaska and return. \ The pools were generally rather chilly. Very few adults went in. The pool by the gym seemed to be warmer than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdisney Posted February 24, 2019 #17 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I was on the Grand last July to Alaska. Hit the Calypso pool most mornings at 6:30 (they were still cleaning at 6am). It was pleasantly warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
