Lsimon Posted March 15, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2006 This is our first X cruise and DH would like to know if the pools are salt water or not and if they are heated? Melissa Salt water The Thalassotherapy pool (indoor) is like bath water - this pool is included on M Class, and a small charge on C Class - and adults only. We've never found the outdoor pools cold, but have only been in them in Caribbean, so not sure how they are in colder climates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissasneu Posted March 16, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Should have mentioned we will be on the Mercury. Any updates on the salt water would be appreciated. Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hajekfam Posted March 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2006 All the pools and hot tubs on Celebrity are salt water. The Mercury has an outdoor pool and an indoor pool aft. The thallassotherapy pool, located in the spa, is a heated mineral pool with jets that make it like a giant powerful whirlpool and there is charge for it unless you are in a suite or elite captain's club member. In Alaska, the water in the pools are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted March 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Salt water and yes, they are heated, but only to about 70-75 degrees. Had drinks with the third engineer whose job it was to take care of the pools. Great guy. When they do a dead head, no passengers, they turn off the heat. At that time they let the crew enjoy the ship. Cold water for crew, nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldminer1951 Posted March 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2006 On Galaxy last summer in the Med, they must have pumped subsurface salt water up to the pools as the water was quite cool while the air temp was in the upper 90's. It was refreshing. The water at the beaches in Greece and Turkey was much warmer. 'Miner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hajekfam Posted March 16, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Salt water and yes, they are heated, but only to about 70-75 degrees. Evidently, the heaters have been broken on all 11 of my Celebrity cruises as the water temperature felt nowhere near 75 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted March 16, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Body temp 98.6 air temp 88, 70-75 would seem cold. To me if you are in the Caribbean with temps in the 80's shouldn't the pool temp be there too. If you are using sea water of 78-80 to fill the pool shouldn't the temp be more? I don't know how they keep it that cool. I did a Mexican Riviera cruise and the day after sailing from San Diego the water felt no where near 70. Don't shoot the messenger, I just relaying the info from the man to monitors the pool. He was on the Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
