By day, the AquaTheater functions as a pool and lounge area. Passengers can swim in the kidney-shaped
pool, which will be the largest and deepest (almost 18 feet deep) freshwater pool at sea or
sunbathe on loungers along the tiered platforms surrounding the pool. SCUBA lessons will also be
offered in the pool during the afternoon. A daytime show, Splish Splash, will be more comedic in
nature (and aimed at the family).
The pool holds 135,000 gallons of water and was revealed the original concept proposed a pool
four times as large as the present one -- a plan squashed when the shipyard explained just how
much that would weigh. You don’t want to have that heavy an aft, RCL spokesman says.
