Pools on the Millennium

[cruiserw/kids]

We cruised with Princess recently and really enjoyed the fresh water pools. We are considering cruising on the Millennium and are trying to find out if the pools on-board are fresh water or salt water. Can anyone answer? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

They are "treated" salt water pools. If you use the "T" pool in the spa area bring an old suit as it will fade your suit. I have never used the main pool so I am not sure if it will fade your suit or not.

T pool on Constellation definitely salty and chloriny, and definitely will fade your suit. Might also give you a nice rash, as my wife and I and friends found out.

If you rinse of in the shower after a swim you & your suit will be fine................

Did that every time, still had fading and itchy rash.

Oh gosh Nightmare. I will say you must have very sensitive skin, but I just dipped to cool, showered & went back to my sunbed doing the other side. Salt water is not the troubles but the bleach, as I call it to disinfect the water. Maybe a bit too much when you were in it. Will report when we return......

Ahhh, we don't dip to cool, we go into the T pool or hottub and just stay there for an hour or two, whenever possible. Perhaps it's the lengthy stay that caused the problem!

It is definitely the amount of time that you were in the pool. That has happened to me before as well. If you limit you time in the pool to 10 or 15 minutes at a time, you probably won't have that same problem.
