Do the Dream and Fantasy have a crew pool?

[mitsguy2001]

I know that on most current ships, including the Magic and Wonder, there is a crew pool located in the very far forward area of the ship. However, on the Dream and Fantasy, that appears to be the outdoor section of the Vibe teen club. Do the Dream and Fantasy have a crew pool somewhere else? Or does the crew not have a pool on those ships? That would be a shame, since the crew works hard, so they do deserve a pool.

No. The Dream and Fantasy do not have a crew pool.

I wonder if the crew prefer the Magic and Wonder for that reason. Or if the Dream and Fantasy have other recreational facilities that make up for the lack of a crew pool.

Crew prefer not to be aboard the Dream due to it's short sailings and quick turnover.
They can be challenging compared to the other vessels, which perform longer sailings.
Experienced veteran crew ask to be assigned to the Magic , Wonder, and Fantasy, never the Dream, IME.

Ironically, the longer the better for the crew and pax. IME

The Dream is a .........

It's all relative though.

From what I had heard the reason the Dream class doesn't have a pool is that the crew didn't use it that often. They basically didn't have time to use it. Not sure how true it is but it seems plausible. I've rarely seen crew in the crew pool on the Magic class and never in any real numbers. Usually 3-4 at any one time.

The Dream and Fantasy have a crew sundeck, but not pool, located on Deck 14 Aft. It's pretty well hidden, and most passengers don't even realize it's there.

I've only seen maybe 3 CM in total using the pool on our Wonder/Magic cruises. Yes, there could be more out there at times when I'm not watching, but, I agree that they don't have a lot of "down time" while onboard.

Man, 80 hour 7 day work weeks, no pool, no time for the pool if they have one, and sharing a room the size of a shoebox... The crew are saints for putting on a smile every day!

Previous responses confirm what various crew members have told us - that the pools were used so infrequently on Wonder and Magic that they weren't included at all on Dream and Fantasy. Also was told by crew that the main time they're used is on Wonder Alaska cruises where crew like to have their photo taken in the pool with icebergs as background!
