Adult only area(FOS)

[deanswife1990]

Does the Freedom of the Seas have the adult only area on the outdoor deck like Carnival? The Adult Serenity area is one of the few things I really enjoy about Carnival.

Yes. The Solarium is an adults only pool area. It has it's own bar, and the Freedom class ships have hot tubs cantalevered (sp) over the side of the ships in that area. Very nice spot to catch a sunset.

As stated, yes it does. The FOS Solarium is very nice. The pool even has underwater stools you can sit on.

No problem. Here are a couple more:

 

 

The cantilevered jacuzzi...there is one on each side:

Depends what you mean by "adult area". RCL doesn't allow topless in any public area of their ship but as the previous poster indicated the Solarium is designated as adults only.

Sometimes it can take a while to get a chair. It is a favored spot.

Good luck with that. It is a lovely area but half the ship has the same idea!

LOL. I don't want to be topless and I'm sure no one else does either.

I'm a early riser so maybe I will get lucky at least one morning.

Is there a charge to use the solarium pool area?

We were able to get chairs to relax for a while after breakfast. We never saw any available later in the afternoon.

If your an early riser, you shouldn't have any problem.

I have a 17.5 year old son. How will they know how old he is? Do you need to show your card? He will be the youngest of our entire group and I am hoping the cruise line will allow him in the pool area. Anyone?

He'll be fine - it's 16 and above for that area.

Thanks. I was really worried he would be left out. For some reason, I thought adult areas were 18 and over.

My daughter never cared for the adult only area because she said it was too quiet.

[Caleo]

On our late September FOS sailing, the bartenders and wait staff were very active making sure that kids were not in the Solarium, or chair hogs weren't in full force.

The Solarium Pool onboard Freedom of the Seas is a wonderful area to relax and bask in the quiet sun or hide out in the shade (if you're sensative to the sun). The cantilivered whirlpools are complete unbelieveable, not to mention huge! As others have stated the area has it's own bar, the Solarium Bar, and is near a pool towel exchange area. I found myself going to the Solarium Pool daily after stopping by "Sprinkles" to get my daily soft serve ice cream cone. I never did use the pool or whirlpools in the Solarium, but I enjoyed sitting in the wicker chairs and looking out the windows eating my ice cream. Ah, the memories. :)

 

One thing to note, on my sailing I noticed several "Deck Staff" personell in yellow shirts making sure no one was saving deck chairs. In the Solarium area they kept an eye on the children situation. As others have said, anyone 16 and older is welcome to enjoy the Solarium Pool area. Enjoy!

There's no point in something being logical ;):eek::D

[akcruz]

Just another note, the Solarium is a pass through to get from one end of the ship to other so kids do walk thru.

 

However, Freedom is the only ship where I have actually seen a child asked to leave a hot tub in the Solarium. I don't think the kids but hit the seat before someone from the ship was over to remind him it was an adult area.

My DH was the only "child" at the Solarium pool the last time :) He was doing cannon balls in the pool :D

I go topless all of the time at the pool.
