BonVoyage20 Posted April 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm pretty sure that they're salt, as well as the pools. At least on the cruises I've been on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentinel0 Posted April 20, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks. I know Oasis has the Aquatheater pool which is freshwater (although apparently still not open to the public :confused: -correct me if I'm wrong there). I was just wondering if we'd have to head back to the room for a quick rinse in the shower after getting out of the hot tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matsitter Posted April 20, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2010 They are not salt water. They are fairly heavily chlorinated fresh water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nydoll1 Posted April 20, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I think they are fresh water too. We were in the cantilevered one A LOT on our cruise -- once I found out they will bring you drinks while you are in there I was hooked. Didnt taste the water either but usually can tell when its salt water and feel it on me afterwards, didnt get the sense it was. That tub is amazing, the view is incredible. Did some of the other tubs too but go for the cantilevered ones, and get a drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserccl Posted April 20, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The only salt water pool is the beach pool. All the others are fresh. (4 times on Oasis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewersfan Posted April 20, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Does anyone know how old you have to be to go in the cantelivered hot tubs? I thought I read somewhere you have to be 16. One son is 13, the other 16. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathyemma Posted April 20, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thank God they are fresh water - if I enter salt water I break out in hives head to toe!!! I am so much fun at the beach! Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeship Posted April 20, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2010 How often is the water changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mareng Posted April 20, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Water is changed daily in the spas along with a deep clean of the bath and filters in accordance with USPHS/CDC requirements, also the daily logs of the halogen and pH levels are kept on file on board for each pool and bath and PW system for a minimum of 12 months for inspecton by the CDC/SPHS officers.

matsitter Posted April 20, 2010 #15 Share Posted April 20, 2010 There truly seem to be enough hot tubs to go around and the week of April 3rd they were always clean and very hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewersfan Posted April 21, 2010 #16 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Just spoke directly with RCI and they said 16 is the minimum age for the solarium hot tubs; not 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWOL Posted April 21, 2010 #17 Share Posted April 21, 2010 They are not in the adult only area so anyone can use them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagsalong Posted April 21, 2010 #18 Share Posted April 21, 2010 They are not in the adult only area so anyone can use them!!! Yes, indeed. They have the same age rules as the other hot tubs around the pools. Children are allowed if accompanied buy an adult. We saw kids in the Cantelivered hot tubs many times.

AlBell509 Posted April 22, 2010 #21 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry 'bout that... Who thought 16 was adult?! Go figure!! You'd think an area just for adults would only allow be for adults! :confused::D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foureyedbuzzard Posted April 23, 2010 #23 Share Posted April 23, 2010 My understanding is that pools and hot tubs are open 24 hours except when they are shut down for cleaning / maintenance. That usually does occur at night though, so don't expect all of them to be open late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
