Are the pools typically busy at opening time? 8 AM?
The pools aren't super busy at opening time (except embarkation day). This is because people are generally slow to get going in the mornings. So they'll either be at breakfast at 9am or on their way to an excursion.
I find the same to also be the truth during diner times as well, for obvious reasons. My son has closed down the Mickey slide, worn out the stairs to the aquaduck during these late nights!We literally had the pool to ourselves on a port day last summer. Our excursion started a little later. My kid had his own personal lifeguard for at least an hour!
Do you remember if this was a port day or an at sea day?This is from a recent Dream Navigator

Yes, unexpected closures occasionally happen. The Aquaduck was completely closed for 2 of the sea days during our Eastern Fantasy cruise, due to high winds.We did a 3 night Fantasy last July and I tried to take DH on the aquaduck at about 1030 (this was Nassau day which was our "sea day"). A lifeguard was posted at the entrance saying it was closed for 60-90 minutes for safety training.
