Thread: Fresh Water vs Salt Water Pools

It's great HAL offers both!

Which, if either, do you prefer?

It surprised me (after our first cruise on HAL) that all lines did not offer both!

Hi !

Just want to know how many pools on Noordam ?
Is there a adult pool only ?
Are they fresh or salt ? What is an hydropool ?
Is it worth the cost ?
In fact so many questions about this subject !!!

Thanks in advance for your answers !

Holacanada from Quebec city
Eurodam in harbour 3 days
Boarding Noordam in 50 days, 21 hours, 49 minutes and 31 seconds

Let's see, Lido, Sea view - lido is fresh, seaview is salt.
I don't think there is an adults only pool as such but I believe that the hydro pool is a kid free area.

Haven't sailed on the Noordam yet.

The aft pools on all HAL ships are supposed to be adults only. About a year ago HAL put up signs at the aft pool indicating this. Some parents with children have ignored the signs on some of the ships.

The hydro pool -- we don't use it -- never have and never will. It just doesn't interest us.

After watching adults take their babies into the pools with diapers -- don't use the pools anymore.

Makes no difference to me , salt or fresh water, its probably
cheaper if its salt water!!

At least it's not grandparents wearing Depends taking their diapered infant grandchildren into the pool ....

True!!

I voted no preference - as long as it is all recycled makes no mind to me...

As to the diapers/depends - does it really matter? I step into the pool to pee then step out, and I wear neither...

Seriously though, at least you know or hope most of it is staying in that thing..
