herbanrenewal Posted September 7 #1 Share Posted September 7 I was looking at deck plans for Dawn. I'll be on b2b from Cape Town to Doha in January. I see on deck 11 it shows a lap pool near the thermal spa. Is this pool available for anyone, or just for Thermal spa? I swim laps for exercise 3 times a week at home. I'd love to actually be able to swim laps during the cruise. In all the cruises I've done (Diamond after this b2b) I've never seen a lap pool on any NCL ship.

It is for exclusive use by Thermal Suite pass holders. And, a lot of time on shorter cruises, people are just standing in the water chatting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis1138 Posted September 7 #5 Share Posted September 7 It's not a lap pool, it's a thalassotherapy pool with hand holds and jets on the side. The one on the Prima is super-narrow and there was this one person who was swimming short laps in it, despite there being people at many of the jets attempting to relax. It was very silly.

The one on the Dawn isn't like that, it is a small lap pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious. Are they taken up by people standing around talking, drinking, etc., or are they too deep for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Dawn, it is “advertised” as a lap pool. Luke warm, not hot. No jets. “Mineral water”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastpitchdad Posted September 8 #12 Share Posted September 8 I just got off the Dawn and did see people doing laps (one was clearly a very high level swimmer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
