Small private pool in front of Magic

[plasmo]

Is the small square pool in the very front of the Magic a private pool? I saw people in it but was wondering who it was for.

Crew

That's the crew's pool

This is so funny me and my roommate from my magic days were talking about this pool yesterday. Neither of us ever went in there because it was empty, or really odd itineraries.
Here’s a couple of pictures: empty in the Caribbean, but ready to go in in freezing Northern Europe
Also, would never go in it on full show in front of the guests and the bridge

Those windows. Are those crew staterooms?

What windows?

 

[PrincessShmoo]

What windows?

I imagine they're asking about the window-like dark areas.

The openings in the side of the ship I guess.

Yes aren’t they?

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Yes aren’t they?

I don't know. I'm guessing not. The width of the ship there doesn't seem like it would be wide enough for crew quarters.
This is the Magic and you can see how wide the rail area is there


On the Wonder those openings aren't even there

I always thought this was odd too. I'm glad the crew has a place for a little exercise, fresh air, and to just relax, but it must be awkward trying to enjoy yourself and get away from the passengers when they can literally just stand there and watch you. Also if DCL is like the Disney parks I'm sure they stress the "Disney look" but I can imagine that's uncomfortable if you're hanging out in a bathing suit in full view of everyone, even if you're not on the clock.

And it can be so windy, even when docked. Its better post dry dock with a little more shelter. But still always felt on show.
But a massive perk having the area on certain itineraries/ports: Alaska/Panama/New York.

The flags on the deck stand for D-C-L. Just in case you wanted to know.

I think the openings are scuppers to help water drain from the deck. Maybe @Capt_BJ could give a more accurate answer.

I’d suspect similar as the wiki page for Rebecca Coriam’s disappearance mentions that crew can get in trouble for being in the area in bad weather due to the risk (I’d assume from waves so it would make sense to have extra drainage there).
