Yes, and no. One is always covered and the other has a sliding roof. Plus the Terrace pool at the after end.

Thanks for the info QB, but I don't think I'll be bothering with the terrace pool in December . I'm not that brave :)

It's heated, brave it!

The roof can only be closed when in port, apparently, so, if you set off for the Caribbean from Southampton in bad weather you may not have the roof open until you reach a port of call in warmer climes.

We are only doing a two night hope over to Belgium with a couple of friends Wolfie. But after a few beers who knows :D

It's usually lovely and warm in the covered pool so you won't have a problem being a brave little soldier Stephen ;)

I did a weekender a couple of years ago in November on Aurora and after getting aboard early and having lunch, my nephew and I went in the covered pool. It was great - and we had the whole pool to ourselves as I imagine that most people hadn't thought about packing a swimming costume.

Is it warm enough to sit under the covered pool in December on a Baltics cruise getting in & out of the pool or is it just the pool heated and freeze getting out?
