Pool depth!

[Poppie55]

On the Riviera right now. For those asking in the past, the depth on this particular ship is 5’11”.

Great to have on these hot days!

You cannot stand or walk in the pool.  Would prefer a shallower pool to walk in.  Oceania is good in warmer climates. For cooler places, I prefer a pool that can be covered.

Does seem a bit odd that they didn't put a ledge around the pool underwater at say a foot or 2 above the bottom. Being 6'2" I can walk it, but others obviously can't.

 

The smaller pools on the R-class ships really too small to swim much, esp. if others are in it. Even the bigger pools on the O-class ships are rather small, though you can swim in them.

 

I wonder if there is something about the salt-water pool that makes O choose not to heat it. Odd to have an unheated pool on a cruise where the weather is cool. You see a... mostly empty pool nearly all the time with people out on loungers and pool chairs nearby.

I like the concept of a deeper pool as it means people don't stand in the middle with their cocktails whilst I am trying to swim 😂

Agree pool for me was too deep on Vista. 
Wouldn’t stand in it with my bevvie lol, but being a bit on the short side and not a good swimmer it was a bit of a downer in 38C plus weather. 
 

Maybe that was the goal of O lol.
