Shower stall vs Tub/shower combo with a couch

[Midwest Sunseeker]

I am considering trying a Princess.  We are long time cruisers with Celebrity, Holland,  and RC.  We prefer to use a shower stall not a tub/shower combination.  We also want a couch in the room.  What cabins should I look at to make sure that I have those in my cabin?  Thank you for your help and knowledge.

I know mini-suites have the tub shower combinations, not sure if there are other cabins that have them. I'm sure others will chime in to let you know.

I might be wrong on this, but right off the top of my head I think you'll need to book a suite on any class of ship or a deluxe balcony on a Royal Class ship to get both a sofa and a standalone shower. Minisuites have the combo tub/shower and have a sofa. Regular balconies, OV, and insides on ships other than Royal Class have a shower stall but no sofa. Suites have separate tub and shower. Deluxe balconies on Royal Class look like they have a sofa and a shower stall.

We have a Premium Deluxe Balcony booked on the Enchanted. It has the shower stall and a small sofa. This category doesn't appear to be available on all ships. The showers are quite small, by the way.

If you want a shower AND a couch, you can book certain mini-suites on some ships. 

These cabins were originally supposed to be for handicap, but there was something that didn't pass the requirements.

Here are the ships: Caribbean, Golden, Grand, Sapphire & Star: Dolphin deck, cabins 732 & 733.

Diamond & Sapphire: Dolphin deck, cabins 736 & 737.

HUGE balconies, enormous handicap-style shower, smallish couch.

Pix attached (I've lost the picture I took of the shower, but it's big enough for 4 friends at one time 🤣).

The description on the booking web-site says "twin beds only", but it's not true. It is doable, just leaves a small area to walk from the bed area to the couch & balcony.

Small correction:  "S" full suites have a glass enclosed shower and a whirlpool bathtub - except Royal class where the bathtubs have no whirlpool jets.   Some - very few - suites have combo tub/shower - usually the ones in the bow and are so noted on princess.com

Every suite I have had on Royal class ships have a separate bathtub and a seperate fairly large shower.

In general, it is mini-suites that have the tub/shower combination.

 

I have always found the tub edge very high to step over.  Maybe 4 inches higher than at home...

 

Your mileage may vary..

We book Premium Balconies with a loveseat and shower only. It will also depend on the ship.
