JRogers Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hello - our cruise ship will be leaving on Monday, Dec. 9th at 4 p.m. Will the pools on the ship be open after we board the cruise ship, and while we wait for the cruise ship to leave port? What do most people do after boarding and waiting for ship to leave port? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK2793 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Yes, the pools will be open. Bring your bathing suit in a your carryon because you may not get your luggage until late afternoon. Also, you cannot get into your room until about 1pm and will have to keep your carryon with your until then. Srp431 and ChessE4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will save you wasting time looking for your table when the entrance to the dining room will be crowded the first night.

KenCP Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Also if you have any dining packages booked make sure you visit one of the restaurants to make your reservations once you board to get the times you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 One caveat - they can't fill pools while the ship is in port. If they have had to empty a pool and did any maintenance sometimes they have to wait until they are back out to sea to refill the pool. Most times the pool is available upon boarding. Hot tubs too.

Experienced this (sort of) last week. Only one of the two main pools on Mariner were open. One was half full with the net over it. But Solarium and all the hot tubs were open, and plenty of room on the pool deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacharius Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Last cruise we just wore our swimsuits on to the ship and immediately grabbed a drink and were in the pool by, oh, 11am? I promptly sprained the heck out of my thumb getting in to the pool, but it was still a good way to start the cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
