Breakaway Pools.....Are They heated?

[dongordon]

Now that people are sailing out of NYC on the Breakaway with some chilly weather,

I was wondering if anyone noticed if the pools are heated.

I know that the hot tubs are always heated.

 

Thanks.

The pools have been heated on every Norwegian ship I have ever sailed, so I would think that it is safe to expect the pools on the Breakaway to be heated as well.

Typically they post the various pool temps on one of the ship's informational channels. Not sure if they do that on BA.

I know that because I have been in them, but you never know with new ships. Sometimes, they change things a little. :)

Just hoping this is not one of them. It could be very cold water for me in January on the first day at sea! :D

What will they think of next? :D

Highly unlikely that the pools on the Breakaway are not heated.

 

Can you imagine the reviews and all the complaints!

They were not heated on the Sept. 8 sailing.

Wow! I'm glad you posted. To me it's really surprising that the pools are not heated. That's something I would not be happy about.

 

Thanks!

A very valid point, and a change I certainly hope they never make. Considering the ship is designed to sail from NY year round, it would be a very foolish cutback! :eek:

Was it warm enough outdoors that heating wasn't necessary? Also, I'm curious, did they broadcast the temperature of all the pools on the TV?

agree with younglegend

The pool was not heated on our Sept 8th sailing....in fact the pool water was a tad to cold for me even then :(

[cruisecritiquer]

Not heated in September would be a bit different than not heated in December. That's for sure! :eek: But, I would like to know when they start. We have booked for end of Sept 2014.

Not heating the pools? Breakaways answer to over crowding?? LOL

Safe sailing

They were heated on my sailing in May and the water slides are also heated.

[Winston Wolf]

I thought I remembered seeing that the pools were no heated, but the slides are. Maybe during Gambee's video tour?

The only ship I've ever been on where the pools have been heated was the Disney Magic - and that was in June sailing out of NYC! I don't remember any of the NCL pools being heated but I haven't sailed with them since 2005.

I've been on the Gem and Breakaway. Neither of the pools were heated. The slides on the BA were heated and felt like bathwater.

[dongordon]

When I was on the Gem and the Jewel, the pools were heated when I went cruising on both in the winter leaving from NYC.

 

I did not notice that until the second day at sea and I met someone who told me he was in the pool the first day at sea.

 

It is not very warm, but warm enough to swim. It was certainly not the freezing temperature of the ocean in the winter. :)

It was warm enough so heating was not necessary. Not sure about the broadcast on TV. I never noticed, but also wasn't looking.

I'd like to know if the pool in the spa is heated. I'm new here. Hi everyone!

[ttnc4me]

Is the Breakaway salt also?

[younglegend]

main pools are salt water. haven is fresh water

Sailed on Jewel from NYC in November '12 and pools were heated to 82F. Sailed Gem from NYC in April '13 and pools were heated to 82F. I guess its all about time of year and location, location and location. :D
