![]() ![]() This is especially if you are a little bit bigger or if you have to bend over a lot to shave your legs, etc. That can make things a challenge to clean yourself. If you raise your arms to the side of your body, your elbows will likely hit the sides of the shower. ![]() Instead, you’ll have a shower (often round) that’s just a couple of feet wide. Some high-end suites do have bathtubs, but you’ll have to pay up for that sort of luxury. The vast majority of cruise bathrooms come with only a stand-up shower. Note the round passive vent on the wall outside the shower curtain.įirst things first, if you’re expecting a bathtub, then don’t be surprised. ![]() How big is the shower on a cruise? Showers are relatively small, with just enough space to turn around and maybe bend slightly. The spray forms a layer over the water, helping to keep smells from escaping. We’ve heard good things about Poo-pourri, a spray that you put into the toilet before you go. As for smells, those with a balcony can open the door to let in some fresh air or bring along some air freshener. If you are self-conscious, you can always run some water or turn up the TV to drown out some of the noise. These vents don’t do much so whoever else is in the cabin will hear - and smell - anything that goes on on the bathroom. That’s why it’s a good thing to travel with a companion that you are comfortable with. Instead, there is a small vent that moves air constantly but there’s no control for it. Unfortunately, cruise ships don’t have this sort of vent. Many of us are used to having a switch-operated vent in our bathroom to remove smells and also provide some white noise. Often they are overheard, built into the light. They typically aren’t near the counter where you would expect. Other bathrooms do have outlets, but you need to search for them. If you need to do things like use a curler or a flat-iron, you have to do so near the outlet in the main part of the cabin. In fact, we have been in cabins where there isn’t an outlet available. The same limited outlet space applies to bathrooms, too. It’s true, and one reason we suggest people bring along an outlet adapter to give you more plugs. You might have heard rumors that there aren’t many electrical outlets in a cruise cabin. Are there electrical plugs in the bathroom? If you rent a nice room such as a suite, then you can expect more bathroom space. It’s not large enough, for example, for two people to get ready for the day at the same time. ![]() There’s no argument that the typical cruise bathroom is small. So if you need to scrub your feet or shave your legs, you could have some difficulty. The shower is stand-up only (no bathtubs in most rooms!), with enough room to turn around, but often not enough to bend over. You’ll often have a small sink with about 2-3 feet of counter space surrounding it. Considering everything in the room, however, the usable space is considerably smaller. Including all the space - including the area taken up by cabinets, counters, and the shower - a typical bathroom is around 25-30 square feet. It has everything you need, but not much space to spare. How large is the average bathroom on a cruise ship? Bathrooms on a cruise ship are “cozy’ to say the least. To give you an idea of what you can expect, we’ve included a number of pictures of different cabin bathrooms below. Most showers also include a small clothesline for drying swimsuits. Your cruise ship bathroom will have a commode (obviously), sink, counter space, storage, and a stand-up shower. However, as you would expect, everything that you need comes at a much smaller scale. The bathroom.Įvery cabin has a bathroom built into the room, just like you would see in a hotel room. What’s one place where you might spend a time on a cruise ship, yet no one talks about it? That’s right. ![]()
