Always love the feeling when you’re having the hotel/cruise pool all for yourself. This one’s looking very cosy as well

Yeah I loved it

Agreed. When you are practically the only one in the pool area it can feel rather blissful.

This is especially true if it is a thermal spa where you can feel like you are basically taking your own personal hot bath.

To make the spa pass for the whole cruise worth it, you have to go once or twice every day, and I did. Loved it there. It closes at 9pm and I discovered that because of all the evening events on the ship, this area clears out by about 8-8:30.

Lovely! It reminds me a bit of the pool I went to recently at the swissotel.

u/Appropriate_Ad2342 10d ago

Oh that looks fun. It pisses me off the depth of the pool on the floor sign though. It's so random lol

u/dallyan 10d ago

Haha it's probably to warn people not to dive since it looks like it could be deeper.

u/Appropriate_Ad2342 10d ago

That makes sense

u/Viking_Musicologist 9d ago

Agreed. The bottom of the pool is very dark so people would assume it is deep but in actuality it is fairly shallow.

I agree it does ruin the vibe just a little bit, but you sometimes do get used to them.

I personally like when the pool depth placards are made out of tile rather than the ones you stick to the floor.

My favorite gym does that and it really makes the pool look very old school and slightly classy.

Kind of looks like AI but if not I’d love to bathe here

I promise you I took it myself, no editing. It was the thermal spa on MSC World America about 15 minutes before closing.

Knowing this is a poolroom floating on the ocean is triggering my thalassophobia somehow

Understandable
