Guppy99 Posted June 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I'm considering a transatlantic on the Mary 2. I viewed the website, but its not clear to me whether there is an indoor pool/solarium which is heated on board. Can someone who has been on her before let me know?

Mudhen Posted June 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2022 There are two outdoor pools and a number of hot tubs, but to my knowledge, there is no indoor pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppy, There is a indoor pool called the Pavilion Pool on Deck 12 by the Elevator Bank B. Also has a Bar. The band that plays in the G32 Disco plays there during the day. Also you lay around and also play Table Tennis. If you sail on a day which is just right they will open the Retractable Roof to the open air. And yes there are other pools on the rear decks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldBear Posted June 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The other indoor pool is on deck 7, as part of the spa's thermal suite [extra cost for admission, included with *some* spa services] Back in 2017 on our westbound crossing there were folks using the 'Terrace' pool and hot tubs on deck 8, even when high winds had closed access to the deck 7 promenade.

BigMac1953 Posted June 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The indoor, deck 12 pool, is very popular with children. It's really a play pool and not for serious swimmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I quite like being adults only. But...I'm not a swimmer...more of a bouncer. Don't like splashing, jumping, and loud noise at the pool though.

Rare s.s.France Posted June 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2022 On my transatlantics, Ive done many, I never saw many children. I often used the deck 12 indoor pool. I never saw many children there. But I avoided the holiday season, I normally travelled may or october / november. The Deck 12 Pool is deep enough but of course of limited size. As far as I remember the outdoor pools aft are heated, too. But in the cold winds only the very brave made it across the deck into the pool....

ace2542 Posted June 17, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It is not heated on Deck 12th - at least it wasn't back in 2019 - and it is good watch the waves in the pool as they give an indiction as to the rocking of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare D&N Posted June 17, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Last week Pavilion Pool and hot tubs were working. Pool was just warm enough to swim round in circles but chilly if just standing in it. Hot tubs were lovely. There weren't many young children on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my QM2 trips have been NYC-Caribbean and I've never seen the roof open. If they are opening it that's great but I had concluded that there was a technical issue preventing the roof from opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably how much power it would take to open and close likely thousands of kwh. It apparently takes 30k kwh to open and close the roof of an english soccer stadium which is why they sometimes don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opened it around 8AM then pool opened to passengers 10AM. Once on traveling and 2 times standing still off the coast of St. Thomas. It was more crowded than the outside ones with music and the bar opened. People were coming and going from the Sun Deck 13 to a splash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your sailing is multi segment, check how many days the pass applies. In 2019, we were sailing on a NYC-Hamburg round trip, and bought a 7 day pass. We used the first three days on the eastbound crossing. When we attempted to use the pass between Hamburg & Southampton the spa folks told us it was expired. The folks at the Purser's desk were able to straighten things out so we didn't loose the other four days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
