jbethel11 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Is it true that Solarium's Age Policy has changed from 16+ to 18+? Can anyone onboard recently confirm if this is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiralqueen Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I saw that topic on CC and it’s def one of the things I plan on checking out both on the signage and in the cruise planner when I board Grandeur tomorrow.

TheaFromCDA Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I’m just coming off Anthem of the Seas today (2019-Nov-23) and the solarium on here is still 16+. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone onboard recently confirm if this is true? Regardless of the posted age, our experience is that it is inconsistently enforced, especially during daylight hours. If there is a problem with an "open" pool, parents with kids have used the Solarium on many ships we've sailed. Personally, I would prefer some sort of "adult" area where one can relax.

WAAAYTOOO Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 There is a current thread on Cruise Critic. Apparently Explorer had a Cruise Compass showing that the Solarium age is 18. It has not been confirmed that is true or was a typo in the CC and other ships have not shown a similar age requirement. jbethel11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiralqueen Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 So on Grandeur now. Signage posted still says 16+. Cruise Compass says adults only, but I can’t remember if that’s always been the language used there. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicDay Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Since I do not have any real experience, only cruised once with RC(so far). Do they enforce it, last May on the HOS, they did not. There were kids all over the place, which was kinda weird, no pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSki Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Just off Mariner yesterday, signage all still said 16+. Never saw any kids in the pool but there were frequently kids on the daybeds with their adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just noticing the hours. Typo? Or hopefully really time enforced? jbethel11 and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaydenDeen Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Currently onboard Rhapsody and it’s still 16+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Martin Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 So that just looks like the age restriction is only for the pool/hot tub there. So no real adult area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were on there during the summer it had 18 on a bit of paper taped over the 16. Maybe this is a Europe or uk thing?

Nikkoo Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Also, to be honest our kids used to visit us all the time 4 x 14-16 and nobody batted and eye lid. I would say not ruthlessly enforces. But the 30 min rule with saving chairs was. Thankless task that guy had but he done well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is that the adults can prove that they're allowed to be in there. So basically if they behave no one would say anything.
