Europe in mid. May .

[GOLDENBONNY]

Hi. I am looking for Mid .May-13-2016 cruise on Jewel out of Rome. Everything looks good for me but my 8 years old just told me that she wants to swim not to walk around :p . So big question come up - Will she be able to swim in pool? How warm water can be ? Is there closed pool or heated pool on Jewel?

 

ports are:

Marseilles

Barcelona

Palma De Mallorca

Malta

Messina

There is a closed pool on Jewel, in the Solarium, but it is limited to age 16 and over. There is a possibility they may allow younger ages in there for certain periods of time during the day, but they usually only do that for inclement weather. I would not count on it.

May is a terrific time to cruise the Mediterranean. You avoid the heat and humidity and the wall to wall crowds that you encounter in the height of the summer tourist season.

May usually is a wonderful month to go sightseeing in the Mediterranean, even if you might have a rainy day or two as well. But even if the sea has been warmer these last few years, it will still be a bit cool to really bathe in the Mediterranean sea. Depends a bit where you come from and if you're used to hop into the sea ! ;) In Norway and Scotland, for example, children played in the waves when we walked along the beach in sweater, jacket and woollen hat...:o

But it really is a good itinerary for exploring with an 8-year-old. There's lots to do and to experience and in the cities mentioned you might also find a pool to relax in. And Palma has good beaches and it will be warm, too.

My other option is HAL Oosterdam they have heated poll and roof for sure but I love Royal ports on call better and cruise line better for kids :o I guess :confused:

May is not a holiday month in Europe so I'm not sure if your daughter will meet many kids on the ships ( either Jewel or Oosterdam) anyway.

I have another suggestion for you to consider:

The Carnival Vista is a brand-new ship sailing the Med this season and they offer unbelievable knock-down prices ( at least here in Europe = 800-900$ for 10 day p.p. in a balcony cabin) and it will have super opportunities for kids and I liked the itinerary as well.

I haven't sailed Carnival before and haven't considered it, yet, but if I could go myself this time , I would!!

Whatever you choose in the end - happy sailing!!

A mild winter day where I live is around -10c. A fantastic summer day is +30c...

 

Med in May should be warm enough for a swim, unless you are used to tropical climate. If so, it might be a bit chill..

She will definitely be able to use the outdoor pool in May if it is sunny. Temperatures should be well over 20° C during the day.
