Can anyone tell me if there is a fee to use the hydrotherapy pool in the spa area? And is it warm or cool? The Holland America catalog does not make it very clear what is complimentary and what there is a fee for. Those of you who have used the hydrotherapy pool, what did you think of it? I plan to cruise the Oosterdam this winter.
I have only cruised once before on Holland America's Veendam, and remember that the hot tubs by the pool were not very warm. Is the hot tub on the Oosterdam hot, and are the pools comfortably warm, or are they chilly? I don't like to freeze! Thanks!

I have not been yet, but this is information I've read about the pool. There is a fee to use the spa's pool. You can buy a pass, or just for a day. It was kind of expensive, by comparison to other ships, I thought, but can't remember the exact figure. It is heated, but maybe it is body temperature, not hot spa tub. Sorry not more help.

I was on the Zuiderdam in May/June. There was a $15/day fee to use the hydrotherapy pool. It was warm - supposedly body temperature. I didn't use the hot tubs so I can't comment on those.

Thanks for your input. $15 per day sounds like more than I care to spend for a few minutes in lukewarm water. I'm sure there will be enough free activities to enjoy on the ship.

I used the Oosterdam hydrotherapy pool and loved it. $15 and I spent several hours over the course of the day in there, very relaxing and very few other passengers
