bdever Posted May 29, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Even with capacity limits, how do you think this is going to be accomplished? Will passengers reserve pool/jacuzzi time? What about the Havana Experience on Vista, Horizon and Mardi Gras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted May 29, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Maybe there will be a time limit, like 20 minutes. And/or sign up times so one group goes in, 20 minutes later they exit and another goes in. Personally I just get a quick rinse off in the outdoor shower to cool down when I'm sunning. Like all the other rules, I bet this will be modified as things ease up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondello Posted May 29, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2021 You have a much better chance of actually be able to enjoy a hot tub if you have access to the Havana area on the Vista class ships. Seems to me that the usual suspects treat the hot tubs as their personal bar stool and they will get up when they're good and ready. I very rarely even use the plunge pools and have never seen an empty hot tub on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only vision that came to me from this is some fat hairy dude, almost drunk, that is getting out because he peed in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNcruising02 Posted May 29, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Maybe a crew member will stand there and give people in each family/traveling group 30 minutes. I guess crew members will have to stand by the pools to make sure people keep their distance. Hot tubs and pools lost their appeal to me after noticing people drinking and not getting out for a long time. Ugh. We have a pool at home, so I will stick to ours. The chairs outside should be easy for distancing and the same with tables inside. With reduced capacity, there should be a lot less issues with being able to keep people at a distance. Maybe by fall the "social distancing" will go away for everyone. I wish my cruise was in November and not August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted May 29, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised if pools and hot tubs were closed on non-vaccinated cruises. Certainly for the restart and first few cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan58 Posted May 29, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I truly believe that some drastic measures will be examined and/or enacted. This is a real safety factor in the works. Maybe even closing off all activities if passengers can't or wont follow the rules. Sometimes we need to be redirected and made believers as adults. Wouldn't surprise me if these areas are deemed "off limits" until further notice. Still much work to do to ensure our Safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prismism Posted May 30, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 30, 2021 If you're still worried about distancing yourself socially then don't get into a hot tub with other people. Boom, problem solved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevethepirate Posted May 30, 2021 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Because non-vaccinated passengers are going to want to go mask free. Their thinking is about themselves and not the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we enjoy cruising, with a whole bunch of restrictions, it wouldn't be the same nor worth the money. We'll wait until cruising gets back to the way it use to be before we shell out a good chunk of money to only get half of what we use to get. I guess that's the adult in me. I can wait.
