Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise ship pools, they're really small.

On my first cruise, I thought the pools were going to be well proportionately large, but they're not.

And even if you just want to get a lounger and enjoy some fun in the sun without the water, those can be hard to come by, too.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Expect small pools on cruise ships.
Be prepared for crowding on sea days.
Plan ahead for sun loungers.
