Are there lifeguards at pools on Norwegian ships?

As with many land-based hotels and resorts with swimming pools, Norwegian Cruise Line and all other major cruise lines provide conspicuous signage to alert guests that a lifeguard is not on duty. We also require that children under 12 are accompanied by an adult at all times. Close parental supervision of children is required at all Norwegian ship pools and whirlpools. It’s also safest to swim with a friend (rather than alone), especially when one’s swimming skills may not be the strongest. All swimmers in Norwegian pools must follow all rules posted in pool and hot tub/whirlpool areas and should take extra care with their own and their children’s safety.
