Review summary

Very disappointed that there is no adult pool. Too many kids. The only days I could get near the pools with my mobility scooter were sea days. I need help to get into pool and never any room to get in. Families need their own pool and adults their own. I was very disappointed not to be able to use pools. Hot tubs r too warm for my illness and too many steps to get up to them if I could. Also disappointed on the # of accessible on shore tours! I would have gone on one if anything suited.

I agree about too many kids. I was on in March with 1700 unruly and rude kids. Celebrity is much better.

Glad you enjoyed most of the cruise but sorry about the pool situation and hot tub,, the pools are always full but they said there is an adult pool. Did you ask? The hot tubs are just that .. hot. But they are supposed to be, I have mobility issues and can’t do stairs so I can’t even them. I notice though some say adults only but you’ll still see kids in there taking up all the space. And babies should not be allowed in the pool if they’re still in diapers.

Did you consider the Solarium, which is Adults only?

If an adult pool is important to you, you should check that out at time of booking. Also, most people feel the hot tubs are not hot enough.
