vegas-c Posted December 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Do any of the Carnival ships have stair entry to the pools? My friend and I enjoy the pool but ladders are difficult. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted December 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I do not believe that any Carnival ships have steps to enter pools. Some other cruise line ships do tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only photo I have found so far that shows the view from where they start as you can see the railings on both sides at the bottom of the photo. Views of it are also in some Venezia videos that are online. The upcoming Carnival Firenze has the same style of lido pool and will have these steps as well.

Old Fart Cruisers Posted December 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Yes there are two sets of stairs and one ladder on the Venezia pool. The stairs are EXTREMELY slippery! I witnessed quite a few people falling on them. That top little 'platform' just below the water surface is the worst. It appears to have been added because of the big distance to the first actual stair. Also, as you enter from the stairs, you see a sign directly across from you that reads "Maximum Pool Depth 4' 9" " . That is actually the Minimum depth, and it's only 4'9" for a very small area right by that sign. The actual depth at the stairs is 6' 1" , as you can see in the picture picture taken from a different perspective. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People that would be using stairs to get into a pool are likely not those who want to go into the deepest end of any pool to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when the 6' 1' depth sign is not even visible from the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
