Which ships have fresh water pools?

The last 3 cruises I have been on were with Princess and all three had fresh water pools, so I figured that all the new ships had them. I must be very wrong because HAL, RCCL, and Celebrity seem to all have salt water pools.

Does anyone know which ships other than Princess have fresh water? Just curious. I'm a big swimmer and definately prefere them over the salty ones!

Thanks for your help,
Kevin

Kevin,

Salt water pools are typically the norm aboard ships. This is one reason why Princess likes
to advertise the fact that they have some fresh water pools.

Personally, I prefer the salt water pools.

Kipper,
I've sailed HAL 3 times and all of their ships have 2 pools, both are fresh water. They drain and clean them every other day
The QE2 is the only ship that I know of that has a true salt water pool.
