Are pools on Regal heated for UK cruises in August?

Are pools heated on Regal for summer UK sailings? 

[satxdiver]

I have never seen a heated pool on any Princess ship so far.  They rely on the sun to heat their pools.  I will be watching this thread to see if anyone can offer better response.

I have never seen a heated pool on any cruise ship on any line.  Heated hot tubs,

No

Heated pools multiply bacteria, so no it’s a health hazard.

Really? Where are you getting your info from? Most ships have some form of heating or even hot pools. Celebrity, Carnival and even Princess.

So you haven't been on a Princess ship so far. You must be kiddin.

Yes, some pools might be 'heated'.  I would suspect covered 'indoor' pools on ships where these are available.  (none on the Regal)  Know that this will be what Princess calls 'heated'.

We last sailed REGAL, and it was January...  Even though the weather was reasonable warm for the first 2-3 days,  the pools were chilly!   (cooler weather at Fort Lauderdale than further south...)

 

August should be the warmest month...  Maybe that will help.

Don't know about the Regal in August but last November on the Sky out of Southampton the Retreat pool was heated, not sure about the other pools.

While heating a pool is not a health hazard, most ships only heat pools to about 75*F (24*C), unless they are intended to be a heated (therapy) pool.
