Reigert2008 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Since the solarium pool on Freedom is listed as vaccinated only, have they been allowing those under 16 and vaccinated to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevendom57 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I thought that the solarium area was adult only. Sure, minors can walk through but cannot use the facilities there. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttMutt Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Correct, solarium is adult only. But age will not make a difference. Unvaxinated is unvaxinated, age does not excuse it. No covid vaccine is no entry even if the parents or other party members are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Op asked about vaccinated people that are under 16 — ie, are they bending the age rules for the unique situation of current sailing protocols Reigert2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, minors can walk through but cannot use the facilities there. Am I wrong? It is listed as Adults only (16 and older) but this really old post from @Matt in 2015 states that in rare cases that it could be opened up to 16 and under if they are directly supervised by and adult. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2015/11/16/everything-about-royal-caribbeans-solarium I was thinking that Covid could be a rare instance that causes it to be allowed only for vaccinated passengers even if they are under 16. it only came up since I was looking for the age limit in regards to our niece who will be cruising with our group and she is under 16 but fully vaccinated. Didn’t know if anyone who had cruised already had noticed what they were doing onboard. I seemed to remember that the age limit wasn’t necessarily 18, but couldn’t remember what it really was. Not a big deal, just something I thought of while on hold for something unrelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I saw no enforcement of vaccination status at the solarium, maybe i just didn't notice it though. So few kids were on board i didn't see any trying to use the solarium either but again no sign of enforcement. Said differently, there was no crew person at entrances and exits checking on anything, anybody that wanted to could walk into and through the solarium. Not sure if perhaps a lifeguard or the bartender was looking for the "I identify as vaccinated" bracelets but i didn't see anyone looking.

BrianB Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Good question. Especially with the reduced passenger capacity. I never saw anyone monitoring the entrances of the Solarium pre-Covid…just the sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Covid or not, Solarium has always been adults only, so no change. The main pool is open and available to all guests, vaccinated or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
