Blondie511 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Never seen a post before about how TINY the showers are on the ships! I am on Adventure of the Seas right now and it is so tiny my arms hit the walls while I wash up! I am a smallish 5’6” female at 130 pounds. I do not know how larger people do it. I have a photo of how much room there is. Will post when internet allows. Don’t worry, I am fully clothed in pic. LOL.!!!

marti314 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yes, this is how the cruise fits 4000 people in an area that would normally be approx 300 hotel rooms and keeps the prices reasonable given all of the other amenities included in the cruise cost.

twangster Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 It's an "efficient" shower. Just don't drop the soap... RWDW1204 and Bob_KY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the doors, but older ships have the curtains. As the cruise director usually jokes, they can cling to your rear when you least expect it. You have probably seen the posts about bringing magnetic hooks to hang things in the bathroom or main stateroom, such as wet swimsuits, lanyards, hand-washed laundry, etc. WannaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxboroCruiser Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Having lived with a curtain on the Empress last week, I'm really looking forward to a door on Adventure next year ;-) KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose City Cruiser Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Be thankful that it is not like some crew washrooms where the shower and toilet are in the same pod. princevaliantus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 But think about how much fun you can have pretending you're being beamed up by Scotty, and the shower water is the "snow" of the transporter effect!

suna Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I never did it but some people use the gym facilities since it's way larger than the one in the room.... JennyB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Affirming my infinity for the newer ships (or a Jr. suite on the older ships) since I am truly built like my namesake (the cartoon Viking) Fuzzywuzzy, FManke, JennyB and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannaCruise Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 At least the shower capsules are bigger on the newer ships like Symphony. I don't mind them (and like that they are enclosed with a door) but totally get what OP is saying. I am a small person like OP and they just fit me.

monctonguy Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 they sure are...I remember my first cruise on Majesty..couldn't believe it...now it just seems the norm(I haven't been able to afford a JS or above that have bathtubs)...... I do prefer the door to the curtain though....I am sure there are some ppl that cant shower all week...the pools and hot tubs are their way of getting "clean".lol RWDW1204 and GlowTheWeird 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FManke Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 We have a Jr suite for the first time with a tub next cruise. Being 6'1" 260, maybe I don't have to alternate between showering the front and then the back, day to day.

I wasn't aware that they offered that "type" of package. I always enjoy the Love & Marriage Show where couples talk about "sharing" the shower.

Good idea as RC frowns upon sharing of packages. Larry Muster, RWDW1204, JennyB and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
