Norweigan Fjords-Outdoor Pool Space

[Nodrog2024]

I am traveling to the Norweigan Fjords in May with Celebrity.

The weather won't be sunny enough for outdoor bathing, what happens to this space during cold weather cruises?

I haven’t sailed celebrity but on other lines if there’s an indoor pool or a pool with a retractable roof it will be busy.  Otherwise people mostly stay indoors.

Obviously I don't have a crystal ball to predict the weather.  Thanks for your message!

@Nodrog2024 Welcome to Cruise Critic!   Celebrity Apex has the Solarium with a swimming pool. I haven't cruised on Apex but that looks like a great spot to enjoy with the enclosed area even in the cold weather!!   You will love Norway.  Have a great trip!

At least for me, I find outdoor pools to often be too cold to lie down near on cruises other than Caribbean ones (or to other warm locales).  We had many beautiful weather days in Norway when I sailed there in May which were lovely for walking, but not so much for putting on a bathing suit and lying near a pool, especially on a high ship deck that can be quite windy.  I think the wind on the decks are why I haven't seen cruise ships repurpose that outdoor space, but if anyone has seen it they can let us know.
