missme2 Posted March 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Are the pools on AOS salt water? Just out of curiosity, why are some salt and others fresh water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted March 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Are the pools on AOS salt water? Just out of curiosity, why are some salt and others fresh water? Yup - the pools on the AOS are all salt water :( Personally, I prefer either fresh or chlorinated. I'm not sure which, if any of RCI's ships actually have fresh water??

JENANDGENE Posted March 14, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have also not run into any pools on RCI that were not salt water, however I have heard rumor that the children's pools may be...also the hot tubs are chlorinated (alas, I will not get to sit in these for hours on end this time due to pregnancy :() ~~Jen going Platinum May 7 on Adventure!!

You know what? You're right! The children's pool on the Radiance and the AOS were not salt water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RN7997 Posted March 14, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Oh I am glad to hear that. My little guy does not care for salt water in his face so he will be happy. This was a shocker to me last year on my 1st cruise. I did not expect to taste salt when I jumped into the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missme2 Posted March 14, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Does anybody no why they use salt water? Is it the cost to keep chlorinating pool water? Just curious. I don't care for salt water pools either. In fact, I didn't even get in the pool last year for that reason. Oh well....can't please everbody :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 14, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2006 It's much easier to clean: just drain and refill. No caustic chemicals and an unlimited supply of salt water! (Better for your swimsuit, too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachlovergirl Posted March 14, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Princess' pools are fresh water, while RCI's pools are saltwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well....can't please everbody :D What did you do when you went to one of the beaches in the Caribbean? I wouldn't stay out of the water because it was either salt or fresh water, but an overly chlorinated pool can be just as objectionable and problematic as one filled with salt water, and the salt water provides a poor swimmer like me with more buoyancy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
