Do cruiseships have fresh-water pools?

Yes, mainly for sanitation reasons, and because salt water can cause all kinds of filtration and pump problems.

Water wastage will never be a problem, EVER.\nWe have abundant resources, and if those ever began to dry up, which they won't because of rain collection, we have desalinization plants that filter the salt out of ocean water and purify it so it is drinkable.\n\nBy the way I love that word, "wastage."

swim in shades or full covered swim suite

There is theory that says perhaps the fresh water aquifers under that area of the ocean rupture into the salt water, making the water less boyant.  That would sink ships loaded with cargo or near their max weight limit.  Yet it does not account for lost planes.  So who knows?

I don't want ot come across as a kn*b or anything but what do you mean - for use in what way? There are desalination plants that turn salt water in fresh water, marine life tends to prefer salt water...\n\nFlippantly (which no doubt will get me no points) all water is immediately available for use.

Carnival Cruise Lines are awesome...they have a children world, dutyfree shopping mall inside, pools, spas, and it is a lot less expensive than disney cruise ships! If Carnival doesn't satisfy you, try Royal Cruise Lines, but I highly recommend Carnival cruise lines...go to carnivacruise.com for more information! It also depends on where you want to cruise to! Good luck and happy cruising!

Go to a local pool store. Bring a sample of your water in and have them check it out and give you the goods to keep it clean and clear

Swimming Pools & Sea-Clubs\nWomen and families may prefer to go to the facilities operated by TEC, all of which have supervised bathing, swimming pools, cafeterias, shaded areas with tables, showers and changing rooms, gardens and play areas for children, though moderate entry fees are charged.\n   The Swimming Complex (tel: 562 2600) in Shaab on Arabian Gulf Street contains an Olympic-size pool and a diving pool for youth and adult use only. There is a family section with a beginners' pool and two pools for the under-fives. The complex also has a swimming school and cafeteria as well as a billiards and snooker hall.\n   The Aqua-Park (tel: 243 1960-3) is beside Kuwait Towers. Its main attractions are the water slide and artificial wave pools. There are also kids pools, as well as restaurants.\nTEC runs three sea clubs, Shaab Sea Club (tel: 564 1953), Ras al-Ardh (tel: 574 0977) in Ras Salmiyah, and Fahaheel Marine Club (tel: 372 4073). The clubs have swimming pools, and basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, and amusement halls. Shaab and Ras al-Ardh have bowling alleys, fitness centres, a sauna, a swimming school, and amusement halls. Shaab also has a karate gym, while Ras al-Ardh has table tennis. All three clubs have gardens, each with a theatre and cafeteria. Ras al-Ardh has a billiards hall and a ball room, while Shaab caters to nautical members with a 200-berth anchorage for boats (maximum 15-foot) and related services.\n   TEC operates three beaches, Messilah Beach (tel: 5650642) just off the Fahaheel Expressway and Oqeilah near Fintas(tel: 3900583), and Fahaheel (tel: 3719496), where bathers are supervised by trained life-guards. These beaches have cafeterias and open theatres. Messilah also has a swimming pool for adults and two for children, as well as children's entertainment such as a spider's web climbing pole and a train.\n\n\nSalary and Cost of Living \nThere is no legal minimum wage in the private sector. An informal two-tiered labor market ensures high wages for Kuwaiti nationals, most of who are in government white collar or executive positions, while foreign workers, even those in skilled positions, receive substantially lower wages. Recently a visiting Bangladeshi Foreign Minister reported that the Bangladeshi domestic workers earn as little as 20 KD (1 KD = 140 IRS Approx.) per month. There is no legal minimum wage in the country. Non citizens do not receive the same social benefits as citizens and must pay fees for education and health care, which are provided free for all citizens. Private sector wages range from as much 2,500 to 3,000 dinars each month for top managers of large companies to between 200 to 300 dinars for other skilled professionals and no skilled workers. The public sector minimum wage provides a decent standard of living for a worker and family. Wages of unskilled workers in the private sector do not always provide a decent standard of living, with housemaids often making less than 40 dinars per month. To be eligible to sponsor family members for residency, government and private sector workers must receive a minimum wage of 400 dinars per month.\n\nEmployers often exploit workers' willingness to accept substandard conditions. Some foreign workers, especially unskilled or semiskilled South Asian workers, live and work much like indentured servants, are unaware of their legal rights, and generally lack the means to pursue a legal remedy. They frequently face contractual disputes and poor working conditions, and may face physical and sexual abuse. Most are in debt to their employers before they arrive in the country and have little choice but to accept the employer's conditions, even if they breach the contractual terms. It is not uncommon for wages to be withheld for a period of months, or to be decreased substantially. Many foreign workers are forced to live in "housing camps," which generally are overcrowded and lack adequate cooking and bathroom facil

Most rivers are fresh water.

There are a few, but this one has a fairly good reputation:\n\nhttp://www.offshore-sailing.com/cruising-course-live-aboard.asp\n\nHope this helps!

depends....if one water is lighter, like salt water is lighter than fresh water, then yes\nif they are the same type of water, then no

I have done it twice at Sea World Orlando. It is not just specifically swimming with dolphins though it was a trainer for a day and marine mammal keeper program. All of the Seaworlds have these programs and there is a SeaWorld Texas in San Antionio and SeaWorld California in San Deigo. California also has Marineland. The other one I know about is the Discovery Cove in Orlando Florida which is specifically designed for people who want to swim with dolphins.

Yes; they need to, in order to maintain their internal ion/water balance (osmoregulation). Marine fish have to drink constantly to avoid dehydration; they have special cells in their gills to excrete the excess chloride.\nFreshwater fish face the opposite problem: their bodies tend to let water in and their internal ionic concentrations tend to become diluted. Therefore they drink water, retain the ions and afterwards excrete large volumes of very diluted urine. And they also have special cells in their gills for osmoregulation.

Through evaporation, the water evaporates into the air and leaves the salt behind.\n\nWhen the water in the air condenses and comes back to earth as rain or snow or dew, it is again fresh water until it flows into a body of saltwater where it again mixes with the salt.\n\nSalt can also be removed through a variety of chemical and/or electrolytic "desalination" processes, but I assume you mean naturally.\n\nThe principal methods of mass conversion of salt water to fresh water (for providing drinking water in a desert environment or onboard a ship at sea) is done through either distillation, in which the salt water is boiled leaving the salt behind and the steam recondensed to form liquid water, or through a process called osmosis where the water flows through a membrane or material that the salt will not pass through.\n\n=== EDIT ===\n\nYes, a bit of research confirms that the principal method of converting saltwater to freshawater onboard a ship is either a flash-type evaporator (primarily used on older ships and nuclear powered ships) or a reverse-osmosis plant (used on more modern ships).  Both types are also used on US Navy bases where freshwater is not readily available.\n\nThe evaporator basically pre-heats the saltwater to near boiling, and then injects it into a vacuum chamber where it immediately flashes into steam except for a small amount of "brine" left over -- the steam is run through cooled pipes where it condenses into water, and the leftover brine is pumped back overboard.\n\nThe reverse-osmosis uses high pressures to force the water through a membrane which the salt cannot pass through.  Again, the leftover "brine" is pumped back into the ocean since it is just seawater with some of the water removed.

Yes. The salt water is denser and thus easier to float on. I have tried this in the Great Salt Lake and experienced it first hand.
