Review summary

The cruise was mostly fine with the exception of the whirlpools. We were looking forward to using them on the cruise but the temperature was luke warm at best. I complained daily but nothing was done to heat them. The tepid temperature of the whirlpools seemed like it would make them a breeding ground for what ever bugs the ship could conjure. Maybe that's why they were over chlorinated also.

Yea I typically stay away from the pools and whirlpools on the ship. I get my fix at the hotel the day/night before I sail out. I'm cruising to see the beautiful beaches and ocean so I wait for that. I heard the pool and whirlpools in the spa are better but I don't want to pay that much extra just to use them. Not worth it to me.
