Rare Illbcruzn4life Posted October 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Are the pools on the ships that sail from Florida all have 6 foot depths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 11, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Adult pools...I believe yes. However, on Armonia each pool has a very shallow end that is 9-10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to prevent people from standing shoulder to shoulder in the pool for hours while drinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser man 60 Posted October 12, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2019 On the newer ships the pools are deeper about 2m or more, except for kids pools. It's as most people want to use the pools to swim and if shallow you get loads of guests standing around drinking all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll do it. Can't stand around in the pool if it's over your head. Innovative! maybe it'll become an industry standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashna Posted October 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 12, 2019 On sea days, our June Allure cruise had folks standing right next to each other. You could not even get by them to walk to the other side. By noontime, the pool water was looking rather strange so we just used the pool in the early morning. A six foot pool would have been useful.

Abovethesod Posted October 13, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Both main Seaside pools on decks 16 and 7 are 6ft 5" deep.. Not so much swimming as large lounge pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashna Posted October 13, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Do they allow loungers? We have these portable ones that we bring along on travel for trips to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashna Posted October 13, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 13, 2019 On our last HAL cruise, a woman swam in the pool with a huge blow up flamingo. She must have kept it in her room as she used it in the pool every sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansOfTravels Posted October 13, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Now that you mention bringing a floating lounger .... that may be the plan for my next MSC cruise 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted October 14, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Don't know about some of the other ships but on the Divina, the back most pool, which is adults only is ( I think) about 4 and 1/2 ft deep. I'm about 5'9" and it comes up to my chest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the MSC pools I'd have a hard time walking to the other side even if they were empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 14, 2019 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I am hoping to be able to stand in pools , figure I have a 50/50 shot at 6’4” with extremely large feet 😁😁. I will find out in 7 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojoand8 Posted October 14, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 14, 2019 This July on the Seaside, in the Yacht Club, the people still stayed in the pool drinking. They just hung onto the sides. They blocked the stairs. You couldn’t even get into the pool unless you kept saying “excuse me” and wiggled your way in. The middle of the pool was empty. A float of some sort would’ve been a great idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
