emnm2015 Posted August 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2016 We have read some older reviews that said the pool at Margaritavillle was not a good place for children. They said there were contests and behavior that would be inappropriate for children to be around. Has anybody been there more recently that can tell me if they would be comfortable having there children there? We were planning to use the pool, we just want to be able to plan ahead if that's not going to be a good option for us. Thanks!

OCruisers Posted August 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's a HUGE pool! You'll see people dancing in some areas of the pool but certainly nothing inappropriate. Take your children and have a great time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted August 31, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Unless you are extremely conservative, there shouldn't be anything most people would find over the top. Certainly nothing that isn't seen daily on reality shows on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluvncruzn Posted August 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The pool is huge and has several sections connected by walkways and bridges. There are sections that are far enough away that the kids can't even see the DJ and swim-up bar (which is where most of the craziness will be found). My kids have been several times and love the pool and flowrider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christisrisen Posted August 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I believe if there's anything wild going on it would be over by the bar, but the pool and it's areas are big. We'll be there with our 9 & 11 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino D Posted September 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I believe if there's anything wild going on it would be over by the bar, but the pool and it's areas are big. We'll be there with our 9 & 11 year old. This is what we experienced. The dancing contest, and other bar games and activities are all on the side where the bar is located. The pool is very large, and if sit away from the bar area, it will not effect your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrufy Posted September 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Have been there twice. First time two ships were in port. Margarettaville was crowded. People dancing by the dj shack and in the pool. Nothing outrageous. The second time only our ship was in port, and it was not crowded at all. We only stayed an hour, there were no people dancing. As others said, you can go to an area away from the partying crowd. Margaretaville is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I consider myself pretty conservative, but like the others said, it's not that outrageous. There are skimpy bikinis, dancing and drinking. Nothing more than they will see or hear on the ship. I would bring my kids, but I don't think I'd bring my parents. They are a tad more sheltered than me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santaa Posted September 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Just don't go during spring break and you and the kids will have a great tome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted September 30, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Unless there's more than one ship in port, the people in the pool will be the people from your ship. It's all going to depend on the clientele. We've done cruises where there were large groups of people traveling together that got pretty rowdy, and other times it was really tame. It's all going to depend on the ships passengers (and mix that with the staff and the tequila/rum/beer at the swim-up bar) as to whether it gets crazy. Like others said, Huge pool and just stay away from the bar area and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briitini Posted October 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I just got back from here and agree.. stay away from the bars and it's fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrufy Posted October 5, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Go towards the back of the pool where you can block out the bar and the dj booth. both of these areas are right when you enter the pool area. The kids will have a great time in the pool. We were there with 2 ships in port and there was a large crowd and a lot of adults parting, nothing x-rated. The second time there was only 1 ship in port, it was about a 1/4 of the other crowd, and it was a non parting group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
