Kfamilycruise Posted July 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2017 There are actually two pools. One is for enjoying and the other is for relaxing on the chairs. It's a great way to stay cooler while you are in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingmom Posted July 4, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hmm. I only saw the hot tubs being used on the Breakaway. I Felt it appeared too public in the middle of the Haven. Sort of made me want to go to the main pool until I saw the crowds[emoji33]Maybe it was just the time of year and the itinerary. Good to know it is used and not a waste of space Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclops32 Posted July 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I should not use the lounge chairs. I think that they are waste of space, a bigger pool should have been much better. I agree. I was the only one that I saw use those chairs and only for 5 mins. I did see several people in the deeper pool Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apietros Posted July 4, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I use both the pool and the lounge chairs in water. My favorite part of sea days. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 4, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2017 We have used the pool on the BA. It is small - maybe if 10 people standing in it the pool would be full. It is also only like 3' 7" deep. My DS and I used it late at night and on fireworks night (when it still existed) we could see them from the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted July 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The challenge is that those loungers are right next to the tables people are dining at. Not very inviting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyndepet Posted July 5, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2017 On our last two Breakaway Haven sailings, the only people we ever saw on the loungers in the pool were kids running and jumping all over them! They were having a great time ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san92103 Posted July 5, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2017 When I sailed Haven in the Jade, I would use it. And I would joke to my Wife that "there are 3,000 people on board and I am LITERALLY the only person in the pool!" Yea, I know we paid for it. But still, yes i used it, and yes you should, too!

Kattus Posted July 5, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I used the Haven pool when we were on the BA in May; was nice being able to swim short laps and do the backstroke without bumping into anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lay on the water, you can almost touch both ends of the pool at the same time. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CateW Posted July 6, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 6, 2017 :confused:Does anybody actually use the haven pool? With the lounge chairs in the middle, I have never seen it put to use. We did the 14 night sailing on the Breakaway on 1/29/17. I never saw anyone in the pool, day or night. It might have been used at some point on port days had they opened the retractable roof which was closed the entire time. I didn't use any pool or hot tub on this trip:mad: but the Caribbean water in all 8 ports was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, one backstroke and you are at the other end of the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san92103 Posted July 6, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 6, 2017 How deep are the ones on breakaway and similar size ships? 3'? Not counting the pools with chairs Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh0603 Posted July 6, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 6, 2017 We used the Haven pool on the Getaway last September. I would say at least 3 or 4 times. Often there was at least one other person in the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted July 6, 2017 #18 Share Posted July 6, 2017 We couldn't get near the Haven pool on the Getaway last June. Filled with kids and I didn't see their parents anywhere:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceIn Posted July 6, 2017 #19 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It looks like they somewhat improved the design of the Haven pool with the Escape - there is only one section with the loungers, and the actual pool is longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanny Posted July 8, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 8, 2017 we were on the Breakaway last year and loved the Haven pool. We used it daily. My Granddaughter turned two on the cruise so the lounge area was perfect for her. We also took her into the "big" pool, which yes is small, but not bad when a couple of children came in and a family of three came in afterwards. The regular children's pool on the top deck was out of order almost the entire cruise... I think it was open one day, but was SO crowded... we liked the privacy of the Haven :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
