Heated Pools on the NCL BLISS

[amberjohn]

We have never been able to swim in the pools on ships out of NY in the Fall/Winter.  I thought I read that the Bliss heats it's pools and the water in the water slides because because the ship is used for Alaska.  Does anyone know if the water is heated for swimming on cruises on the Bliss out of NY?  We are cruising in less than 2 weeks.

If the ship has the mechanicals to do it (and I believe the Bliss has them) I can't imagine they would be used selectively.  Just because they're not in Alaska I can't see it being decided not to heat the water if it needs to be.

Because the Bliss will be hitting warmer weather after a couple of days I didn't know if they saved a lot of money by not heating the pools (even though they have the mechanics).  I know that few if any ships heat the outdoor pools leaving Boston or NY?

The Bliss pools, water slides and the water feature in Spice H20 are heated.

The Bliss pool will get warmer as the day goes on with people drinking and using the pool as their personal bathroom!
