Rare orville99 Posted August 31, 2014 #27 Share Posted August 31, 2014 But in all honestly id say 95% of the people dry off with a towel before they get out of the pool This may be the problem. It's usually a lot better to dry off with a towel after you get out of the pool:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2Mich Posted August 31, 2014 #28 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The towels are absorbent...dry off! Sit down (on the towel) for about 3-5 mins....you won't be "dripping" as you return to your cabin. And yes...put a tee shirt on, or a coverup...something! You shouldn't be wandering about in swimsuit only when you're not at the pool (or beach).... You are NOT allowed to go into the WJ in only a swimsuit, wet or not! They do not want to see your belly or butt....so put something over your suit!!! So how are we supposed to do that when you can't find a freaking chair to sit on? Sent from my LG-LS980 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-P Posted August 31, 2014 #30 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If a wet person in a bathing suit is the biggest thing you have to complain about, I'd say you had a great cruise. :p Dan. Sent from my SM-P600 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted August 31, 2014 #31 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It was probably the CD on the way back from the pool deck:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedish weave Posted August 31, 2014 #32 Share Posted August 31, 2014 lmao. There will be a no shorts rule in the elevator ;) Violators will be required to remove the shorts on the spot !!! If dripping still occurs, diapers will be furnished !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolreader Posted August 31, 2014 #34 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How about a no bathing suits rule. If you do not wear a suit you will be able to dry off completely before turning your towel back into the shack. But you must wear a towel while eating in the buffet.

davekathy Posted August 31, 2014 #35 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Has anyone experienced passengers in swimwear with no cover-up or towels and barefoot in the elevators? Some passenger's swimsuits were wet, and some were barefoot---making wet tracks through the hall and dripping in the elevator. Remember when you had to wear a cover-up (or towel) when you were walking through the halls or in the Windjammer/Dining room? "Awkward!" So what did GR say when you advised them of this?

TEXASMUNK Posted August 31, 2014 #36 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Since so few people find it ok. I will agree! Until the time comes that he or she decides to shake like a wet dog and spray the entire elevator...Then and only then will I remind myself, there are no standards, there are no rules, thou shalt not object to anything someone might say or do on a ship....other wise I will be labelled...the horror....

bouhunter Posted August 31, 2014 #41 Share Posted August 31, 2014 While I'm in favor of dressing and behaving in a civilized manner, I say this topic is much ado about nothing: - Even if you haven't dried yourself well, the elevators are a bit of a walk, and in the hot Caribbean sun, you're probably not going to be literally dripping by the time you reach the elevators. I can't say that I've personally seen anyone who was so wet that his or her feet "squished" on the carpet. - If you're not wearing shoes, and a cover-up, you'll be turned away from the Windjammer. I've seen this rule enforced. - And most people do have the common courtesy to wear a swim cover-up when they're coming and going to the pool. Oh, you might see the occasional teenager who thinks it's fine to parade about in a bikini, but you're not likely to encounter large numbers of such folks. Nor are you likely to find many people who mistake their bath robes for public wear. I agree it's much ado about nothing. But, it takes about 10 seconds to walk from the pool to the elevators on most ships, if someone went straight to the elevators they WOULD still be dripping and soaked. "hot Caribbean sun" doesn't dry things off that fast......:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted August 31, 2014 #42 Share Posted August 31, 2014 How exactly are they supposed to get back to their room if they just got out of the pool, dried off as best as possible and left the pool towel at the towel station on the pool deck? I don't turn in my pool towel every time I leave the pool -- I just exchange it for a dry one....then I wrap it around my waist as I walk back to my cabin.

Bookish Angel Posted August 31, 2014 #43 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I get ppout of the pool to drip dry a bit, use the towel to dry off further and slip on the robe to take the stairs to my cabin. No biggie, except for the "Robe Police" who consider the wearing of robes ouside the cabin gauche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted August 31, 2014 #44 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Mrs. Pete, you on right on target. Talk about a first world problem!:rolleyes: I would expect first world problems to dominate the conversations on a website that deals with multimillion dollar cruise ships and the people that spend thousands of dollars to sail on them.

grand isle joe Posted August 31, 2014 #45 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I NEVER wear my wet bathing attire on the elevators......NEVER.....I ALWAYS strip into my Birthday suit before I even think of "calling for the lift".....Oh like you never did it too?.........

They werent in the dining hall.I didnt know there was a dress code for riding the elevator back to your room.lol Honestly if thats what you are complaining about you need to loosen up just a bit.There are alot of people in this world that are not as uptight as you and you met one.lol!! I agree if they are dripping water its a safety issue but theres a chance of the elevators on the pool deck to be slippery in the common area.It is what it is.

"hot Caribbean sun" doesn't dry things off that fast......:rolleyes:To be argumentative, I'd say that you COULD make it to the elevators IF you jumped out of the pool and walked quickly to the nearest elevator. I could see someone doing this if, say, they'd suddenly taken ill. In reality, most of us get out of the pool, dry ourselves at least a bit, put on our cover-up, return the towel, gather our things from the pool chair, slip on our shoes, and walk through the crowded pool deck without pushing and shoving -- maybe even stopping into the buffet for a drink to take back to the room. And quite a few of us will walk to the aft or forward elevator because it'd be closer to our rooms than the most central elevators. That's not all going to happen in 10 seconds, providing more time to dry a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
