bailey57 Posted February 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Surely this is somewhere in forums, but can't seem to find it by key words... 😕 On Freedom, I see Serenity area forward decks 12 & 14 - am I correct there are hot tubs on 14? And is the aft pool Lido deck 9 for adults only, or open to all? Planning how best to avoid kids... Any tips welcome! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare maxandmolly Posted February 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Serenity is the only adults only area on Carnivals ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - kids hang at the aft Lido pool? I'm sure it was adults only on other Carnival ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but as I recall the aft pool is marked "Adults Only" and I've actually seen kids being told they can't be in that pool. There are rarely many kids in that area.

Just that aft pool on the Conquest Class ships is marked as adults only. The area as a whole isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaJ Posted February 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2023 We were on Freedom in July and the aft (Tides) pool was adults only. There are also 2 hot tubs back there too. My husband and I spent a lot of time there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bailey57 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Great - sounds like it'll be mostly adults, if not all. Thanks everyone! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the pizza pirate so they come for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabalon Posted February 6, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) In theory. When we were on Conquest, there were a number of kids in that pool for quite a while and then I guess one day someone finally decided to enforce it. Should have been done from the start - only because it led to lots of questions of "well, yesterday...." Didn't bother me, they were better behave than some of the adults, but can understand wanting to get away !!!!

bailey57 Posted February 6, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Lol - yeah, there is that 'adult' behavior thing... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted February 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2023 doesn't really matter how well behaved the kids may be, they're not allowed in the aft pool or hot tubs. Carnival has a major struggle with adult behavior, as we are all well aware. Not particularly relevant to this discussion however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Freedom this past December. The hot tubs didn't get very warm then, hopefully that has changed. If you get there fairly early in the day, you could potentially have the hot tub to yourself for awhile. We noticed they didn't get busy until later in the day.

I seem to recall the aft tubs were warmer. None *hot*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gotten used to the usual lukewarm hot tubs on Carnival -- and didn't really mind that, especially on a hot, sunny day -- but everyone remarked at how hot those side hot tubs were.
