What are the new pool deck safety policies?

We’ll arrange the pool areas with sufficient space between furniture to allow for physical distancing. Crew will be posted on the pool deck to ensure pool and jacuzzi occupancy is appropriate, and easily accessible hand sanitizing stations and wipes dispensers will be available throughout. The housekeeping team will frequently clean surfaces in high-traffic pool and pool deck areas, with hourly cleaning during peak times, such as sea days. Sanitizing wipes will be available for all guests to wipe down chairs and loungers. Every evening all pool and deck furniture will be cleaned. Face masks are not required in pools or hot tubs, and guests should take care to maintain physical distance.

On sailings departing from 22 Nov, 2021 mask-off is allowed in indoor pool/ jacuzzis/ hot tubs, if all individuals are vaccinated, up to 5 passengers allowed. Unvaccinated children aged 12 years and below may be included within the group of 5 passengers if all the children are from the same household.  For outdoor pool/jacuzzis/hot tubs, masks-off is allowed for groups up to 5 passengers, irrespective of vaccination or test status.
