cle-guy Posted June 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can someone tell me what cabins still have shower curtains? Am I correct that ALL Solstice class ships have glass doors in all cabins? Am I correct that on M-Class only Aqua and above have doors, but Concierge and below still have curtains? What about Century? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted June 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yes you are correct. All S class ships have the glass doors. I can't speak to M class although when I was in CC on Summit it did have a shower curtain but that was a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted June 19, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Our Infinity shower had a curtain in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare C-Dragons Posted June 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2014 On S-class ships, Sky Suites have shower curtains, as they have bath tubs. Concierge class cabins have glass doors (showers only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandav Posted June 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Summit 6136 concierge cabin has a curtain. Eclipse 9298 concierge cabin has a glass door. The shower cubicle on the Summit is a good size and the curtain is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 19, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Our Infinity shower had a curtain in Feb. Likewise (Concierge balcony Cabin).:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cle-guy Posted June 20, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Allright, so we've confirmed: All S class have glass doors except the Celebrity suite due to its whirlpool tub. M Class have Glass doors in Aqua and above except Celebrity Suite also has curtain due to whirlpool tub, and Concierge and below have a curtain. Now does anyone know the details on Century...

Ma Bell Posted June 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The showers are all large enough that clinging shower curtains are not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor G Posted June 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Now does anyone know the details on Century... I was on Century in February. In my standard veranda cabin there was a shower curtain. Also the Sky Suite had a curtain because of the bathtub. I don't know about other cabins. Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkgourmet Posted June 20, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Okay, I just HAVE to ask. Why does it matter? Would anybody actually use the type of covering on the shower as a reason to book (or not book) a certain cruise ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monicajay Posted June 20, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Okay, I just HAVE to ask. Why does it matter? Would anybody actually use the type of covering on the shower as a reason to book (or not book) a certain cruise ship? Shower curtains sometimes stick to you. This is often caused by the ceiling fans that try to draw the air and moisture from the bathroom. Since I only ever book cabins with 'curtains' we have found a solution. Just for the time you are in the shower. Take a single sheet of paper and lay it across the fan. This will not get sucked up into the fan but will decrease the suction enough that you can have a comfortable shower without the curtain trying to stick to you.

jkgourmet Posted June 20, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Uh, well, I can honestly say that I don't think that I've ever had a shower curtain sticking to my body. Not on a cruise, hotel room or home shower. But thanks for the reply. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anybody actually use the type of covering on the shower as a reason to book (or not book) a certain cruise ship? Actually, yes. I will never sail the NCL Epic again because the toilet and shower have glass doors and are in the cabin! :eek: Therefore, if I needed to go to the bathroom, my wife sitting on the bed could see a silhouette of my on the toilet and hear every sound. In effect, no privacy whatsoever. Now, if the toilet and shower were inside of a proper bathroom, then it wouldn't matter but this is not the case on the NCL Epic.

cle-guy Posted June 20, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Okay, I just HAVE to ask. Why does it matter? Would anybody actually use the type of covering on the shower as a reason to book (or not book) a certain cruise ship? Yes, maybe not ship, but cabin on a ship. I'd prefer to upgrade to a higher category if it's available without a curtain. I now seek hotels with showers rather than shower/tub combo's for example. I just really enjoy my shower time and like a nice roomy comfortable shower. :D I also find shower curtains not held inside a high tub often make a huge mess on the floor as the water stream can push the curtain outside the lip of the shower letting water pool on the floor.

Out to sea! Posted June 20, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) REALLY????? Is that the way ALL of the cabins are on the Epic? Eww! As far as I know for normal cabins, yes. Probably not for the suites. To give a mental picture of the layout, take a rectangular room. By the door, to the right put a small room that is the toilet (with glass). To the left, the shower (with glass). Then quite a bit of your small counter is taken by the sink. Not a good layout at all. Edited June 20, 2014 by Out to sea!

cle-guy Posted June 20, 2014 Author #19 Share Posted June 20, 2014 REALLY????? Is that the way ALL of the cabins are on the Epic? Eww! Here's a Youtube video of the Epic bathroom configuration. Looks like toilet room and shower have frosted glass, but there's also a curtain to pull across the entire "space" if you really want privacy. The shower is 5' or more across in width, quite roomy.

That curtain won't have much of an effect on unpleasant odors escaping from the toilet area into the sleeping areas ( :eek: ), steamy air from the shower when the door is opened, or the sounds of a person using the sink. And those thin glass panels certainly won't block out any noises from the toilet (who wants to hear THAT) and shower. This might be fine for a single, but certainly not for a couple. A lousy configuration. Edited June 20, 2014 by boogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted June 20, 2014 #22 Share Posted June 20, 2014 You obviously have not cruised with Princess! Or you are wafer thin? Yes, the standard cabin showers on Princess are about the smallest out there...and that shower curtain feels like it is attacking you....funny, yes?? True, most definitely!! So, I recall having a shower curtain on the Century a couple of months ago, however, the shower is decent sized so not as big of an issue as you would have with a teenie tiny shower. The shower was rectangular shaped and had a tile divider between the sink and shower on one end and the curtain for shower opening -- so once in the shower, curtain and a tile divider and the shower was about twice the size of the ones on some ships. That shower curtain did fly at me from time to time, though...so if that bothers you, you may want to see if there are other cabins without the curtain...but you could always step up really close to the shower head. We were in a CC veranda cabin on deck 9 if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgourmet Posted June 20, 2014 #23 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) You obviously have not cruised with Princess! Or you are wafer thin? Yes, I have, and I WAS. :) over a decade ago. As far as those NCL Epic bathrooms, well, we weren't entirely thrilled with NCL in the first place. This just adds one more reason to keep them near the bottom of our preferred cruise company list (just above RCCL) Just don't like the idea of a toilet without a door and a fan.
