Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas features a total of four major swimming pools, designed to accommodate various weather conditions as the ship frequently sails in cooler climates like Alaska and New Zealand. The main outdoor pool is the focal point of the upper deck, perfect for sunny days and outdoor movies on the giant screen. For those seeking a climate-controlled environment, there is a large indoor pool with a retractable glass roof, ensuring guests can swim even in the chilly waters of the North Pacific. Additionally, the Solarium—an adults-only sanctuary at the front of the ship—houses a series of cascading tiered pools and whirlpools in a serene, glass-enclosed space. For younger travelers, the Splashaway Bay aqua park includes smaller splash pools and interactive water features. Scattered around these main swimming areas are several heated whirlpools, providing plenty of options for relaxation. This variety ensures that regardless of the outside temperature, there is always an inviting body of water available for the ship’s 4,000+ passengers.
