KevinsCruising Posted November 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi, I have sailed the Gem but never in December. Are the pools heated when sailing out of NYC in December ?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amilicia Posted November 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I don't believe they are heated at all. I was on the Gem last week and the pools were cold all week. The hot tubs were nice and toasty and the waterslide water seemed to be quite a bit warmer than the pools too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusonvt Posted November 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Wouldn't these have to be slightly heated? I thought they emptied and re-filled each night with sea water, at least that is what happened on the Sun in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk218 Posted November 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2011 All NCL ships , 84.6 degrees all the time. Even in Alaska . ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinsCruising Posted November 24, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted November 24, 2011 84.6 in NYC would be nice ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted November 24, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Well they were freezing when cruising out of NYC in October. So I don't think they would make an exception for you folks in December. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some ship that I've missed, but the ones I've been on use unheated sea water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_sobe Posted November 26, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I dont know of any ships that have heated pools. But people would love them. Do they even fill the pools on Alaska cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every NCL cruise we have been on has had the pool heated. So say the kids and the temp is displayed on the TV in the cabin all day every day. Even in Alaska ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinakop Posted November 26, 2011 #13 Share Posted November 26, 2011 i know the courtyard haven's pool has a glass roof over the pool - wonder if it's heated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryanne Posted November 26, 2011 #14 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The pools were heated on the Jewel on our last cruise (Oct-Nov. '11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteRose Posted November 26, 2011 #15 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I know that on our Dec 08 cruise from NYC the NCL channel on the TV kept saying that the pools were heated to 84 degrees... I didn't try them until we got to Florida but there were some kids swimming. The hot tubs were heated and that was enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps across the pools were in the mid 80s in August on Star in Alaska. I was in them 5 of 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerintn Posted November 27, 2011 #20 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Please understand that a pool at 84 degrees will seem a bit cold (anything lower than your body temperature will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
