Pools, hot tubs and water play areas3 findings

  • Item 10Deck 17 - Dome Pool

  • Item 10Deck 17 - Lido Pool

    The shepherd's hook was not placed in a prominent location making it visible from the full perimeter of the pool.

    During the construction inspection, it was documented that the dome pool's filtered and halogenated supply line only enters the inside/forward area of the dome pool. When the glass wall is raised, the filtered, and disinfected water does not mix properly with the outside aft-most area water of the pool creating inconsistent halogen and pH values that fall below the expected ranges detailed in the 2018 Operations Manual. It was also noted that passengers have access to this pool while the glass wall is raised creating a potentially hazardous environment. I was discussed during the construction inspection that this issue would be addressed in the corrective action statement and remedied on the ship prior to this pool being opened; however, this pool has been fully operational creating challenges for the staff and crew designated to operate this facility properly.
