Answer 7

Usually yes.  Often they are emptied out each night and refilled fresh each morning.  Also emptied out in any kind of storm.

Answer 8

Yes they are.  And they drain them at night.  It really isn't bad.  We couldn't tell the difference unless we went under the water.  I loved the pools and the water slide.  Have a great trip!

Answer 9

Carnival and Royal Carribbean both have Salt Water pools.  Also, all of the whirlpools/hot tubs on Carnival are also salt water, with the exception of the whirlpools in/around the gym.

Princess has freshwater pools, and I think Disney might also, but I'm not sure.
