swimming pool

[Mitch]

Can someone tell me the answer to this.

A friend told me that the pools close on the days that a ship is in port. I was hoping to swim on the days we weren't getting off the ship.

They might close one pool but most of the pools remain open on port days. We know that we’ll because we always stay on the ship to swim. Just check the hours on the cruise compass as they might vary on a port day.

And  port days are the best times to hit the water slides

There's definitely pools open on port days

While many of my fellow "shipmates" were dodging hucksters and pickpockets in Nassau, those were the days we could enjoy the pools best.

Agree.  We stayed on board on Symphony on Nassau day.  The pool was quite empty (maybe 2 other families there).  The main slide opened at 10am and the second 'toilet bowl' slide opened at 12pm.  Great time to use the pool / hot tubs.

What time do the pools close for the night?  Or is it specific ship to ship?

Depends, but they tend to keep at least one pool and/or hot tub open
