Sitting by the Pool at Night

[Amy from Delaware]

I assume the pool is closed at night, but is there any restriction to sitting or lounging in the pool area late at night?

Hi, your assumption is correct;)..the pools are closed at night.

As for sitting there? I don't know of any restrictions preventing you

from chilling out up on deck.:)

[Amy from Delaware]

Excellent! Thank you :)

[Lois R]

Your welcome:) but remember, once its late, no bars open and no lighting

up there either. (If you were thinking of reading a book or something)

Also something to keep in mind... sometimes the pools are emptied at night, so you may end up sitting next to an empty pool with no water! :p

[Amy from Delaware]

That's all fine with me. I tend to wake up in the midde of the night, and I think I'd like to sit quietly in the dark and look up at the sky or read (using my clip-on book light). I figured the pool area would be good for that.

The Sunset bar on good nights is open late ans has light.

You may also be disturbed by Security just to make sure you are okay....

I have, on many cruises sat in the lounge chairs late at night for star gazing and just to chill. It is absolutely no problem at all. Enjoy

That actually makes me feel even better about it! I cannot wait to get on the ship!! Only....4 months to go! :D

There are several quiet deck areas you can find for late-nught star gazing, or just chilling out listening to the waves. On one ship, we even found these slanted windows with ledges and lay back and just watched a series of shooting stars for over an hour. Here's a photo of us there, during the day (I hope it works).

On the other hand, you could sit on your balcony, but then the view would not be as expansive.

On the uppermost deck, they do run a rope through the chairs late at night to keep them in place.

Hey Tea4ular

 

What ship were you on?

Jack, not everyone books a balcony:rolleyes::eek:...there are those of us who

actually book windows and then there are people who even book

those insides too!

Hey Tea4ular

 

What ship were you on?

 

This was on the Carnival ship Elation. I have found quiet and remote spots (aka no traffic and few lights to obscure) on every ship I've been on.

I was hoping for an after dinner dip in the hot tub. What time are the pools and hot tubs open until?

On the Explorer last summer there was always a pool open. Usually the Solarium was one of them. We loved going up there for a swim, hot tub, and hang out with our group. We used the phone to ask for a bar waiter and one arrived in minutes. It was so nice, peaceful and we all enjoyed it.:eek:

I believe that Royal Caribbean keeps at least one hottub open late (if not 24 hours) but Celebrity does shut down the pools and hottubs at night. I am not sure what time, but it is somewhere between 8pm-10pm I believe that they close them down for the night. As others have mentioned, you can still hang out on deck (and sometimes they have a nighttime deck party), but no hottubs or pools open late.
