Pools on the Dawn

[MarYSol]

This is our first Cruise on NCL - I know Royal Caribbean allows guests to swim prior to leaving the Pier. Are the pools on the Dawn open on sailing day, or do we have to wait until we are at sea? WE are sailing on 9/19 and I would like to know if I should pack my bathing suit on my carry-on, or just leave it for the next day. Thanks

also... are there slides at the pool area?

There are no slides in the main poot area, though the kiddie area has two of them, both dinosaurs that you may have seen in pictures, at the rear of the ship.

 

I think the pool is open upon boarding, but not positive. We head to Venetian for a nice lunch, shrimp scampi is my favorite.

The outdoor pool was open last year upon embarkation... I am not sure about the indoor lap pool...

Take your bathing suit in your carry on. even if the pool isn't open I keep see on these boards how nice it is to be in the hot tub for sail away on the Dawn, Pat

just back from the dawn. the pool was open and alot of people were swimming as we were pulling out of port.

[MarYSol]

Thanks for your quick replies - I will DEFINITELY pack my bathing suit in my carry on - will love to be by the pool or hot tub with a little drink as we are pulling away! Thanks again - now all we need is some prayers to keep those nasty hurricanes away and mostly away from Florida and all the residents there.

Hi. No slides in the adult pools, but two in the kids pool area. I tried em both and I didn't exactly slide down. LOL.

Is the pool open at night? I like swimming in the evenings when the lights of the pool are on.

[smeyer418]

the main pool is normally drained every night. The lap pool is open until late...

[minivanmama]

I wonder why they drain it every night?

[Welove2cruise2]

They clean them every night!:)
