rbpierce Posted February 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hey all, a couple quick questions. I am a long-time Disney cruiser, looking to try RC for the first time. A big attraction for me is the pool deck, so if someone has time I'd love to get some feedback on it. One of the things I really enjoy about the Disney pool decks are the running movies, so when I am sunning and tired of reading I can watch a movie and veg. I see that AotS has a poolside screen as well- can someone tell me how often it shows movies, what kind, is the audio audible, etc? Also, is there enough poolside seating or will I have to stalk a seat for an hour waiting for someone to get up? Finally just curious what the overall pooldeck vibe is? Crazy drunks? Kids running around? Clean? Cluttered? etc. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2017 They do show movies on the pool big screen, but our experience has been that while we do see an occasional movie being shown in the afternoon, most movies are shown in the evening. No problem getting seating around the pool for evening movies, however if it's a sunny sea day, you will have to get to the pool deck early to get a lounger.

cb at sea Posted February 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2017 What the "vibe" is depends on the passengers. Shorter cruises have more "partiers" than longer trips. On sea days, the pool is packed....from 8am until about 3-4 in the afternoon....loungers around the immediate pool area are are-to-arm....very tight. Go up a deck and you'll have more space.

We were on a few weeks ago and during the day, there was a constant feed of funny and cool videos being shown but no sound. It was entertaining to watch. There weren't really that many crazy drunks around the pool that I remember. There aren't too many kids on the cruises we take on Adventure because usually it's in January right after they all go back to school. There are always seats available unless like Bob said, it is a sunny sea day. The chairs are a premium! Here is a cool pic that my husband took one night as we were leaving port. The movie screen is on the side that you can't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpierce Posted February 22, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks guys (and great pic :) ). When they do show videos, is the audio for the video audible on deck? And what kind of videos are shown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted February 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2017 On Jewel recently during the day there was often a strange mix of motocross, skate boarding etc with no sound. Most of the time it was odd stuff.... Sent from my LG-D850 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks guys (and great pic :) ). When they do show videos, is the audio for the video audible on deck? And what kind of videos are shown? For us. the audio was turned down (but still audible) when they are showing the non-movie videos. Turned way up for movies.

And what kind of videos are shown? For movies, yes the audio is on. For the 2 weeks we were on, the videos didn't have sound. The videos of cute pets, people doing crazy stunts, and things like that. It was amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nator555 Posted February 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 22, 2017 How does everyone rate the pool service? Is it hard to flag a waiter down for a drink? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kampinguru Posted February 23, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2017 You can usually get a pool waiter with no issue. The movie they played during the evening was Grease and they played it during the day twice too. Mostly it was cool video's or "fail" videos. No sound during the day with the videos but the movie did have sound during the day when played and it came over the pool speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
