Shower shoes

[Beachfrog]

Ok, here is another silly question from a first-timer. Has anyone worn shower shoes in their private showers on board? I am a bit anal when it comes to clean shower floors and wondered if I really need to worry about how clean they are kept!:confused::rolleyes: Thanks!

Never wore them on any of my 37 cruises. The showers have always been clean.

Don't worry about it. If you are using one in the spa you might consider it.

I pack a pair I picked up for about $9 from Magellan's. They fold very flat and are handy just in case. Sometimes I slip them on when I go out on the balcony :).

Haven't used shower shoes since my sophomore year when I lived on a floor with a communal bathroom. The shower was nice and clean and I didn't feel I needed them at all.

 

Well, scratch that to say that I did take them to Europe with me last May. We stayed in hostels and had to share bathrooms...eek...

My daughter used to wear flip-flops in the shower when she was in college - and much to her surprise when she was having her luggage searched before getting on a flight - all the "bells & whistles" started going off .... it seems that the soap she used contained glycerin - which was also on the flip-flops from wearing them in the shower. Needless to say, she no longer uses soap with glycerin!

My husband and I both wear shower shoes: basically sandals, his are flip flops and mine are just rubber/elastic sandals. We are both germaphobes and we take them on all vacations. Who needs to pick up some kind of foot fungus? :D Well, at least that's one reason we tell ourselves! Just like I wouldn't walk on the carpet in barefeet. As I said, it's just a phobia we have.

and when walking between there and the pool. There also is a sauna in the locker room where they would be useful.

I always carry Lysol with me and spray down hotel rooms and cruise cabins. I really spray the bathroom good, especially the shower. Don't know if it helps, but it makes me feel better :-) ..... A friend of mine came down with some foot fungus after staying at a hotel, the doctor said probably came from the hotel shower...ever since then I spray with Lysol.
