revjlw Posted October 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi - all the info I am reading about the bathrooms on Insignia have included no info about whether there is a curtain with the standard indent in the floor or a glass stall in the corner. Can anyone help with this? It will determine what I pack for the bathroom. Leaving Oct 21 - Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruba Posted October 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2009 There's no glass stall in the corner. It's a small shower with a curtain. Now that's for a category A1 room and lower. I've never had a suite on Oceania so can't speak to that. Bathrooms are small but they are surprisingly well-designed. They function as if they were roomier than they are, or at least I have found that to be the case. I'm 160 pounds -- someone who is, let's just say "big-boned" may feel more cramped in an Oceania bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi - all the info I am reading about the bathrooms on Insignia have included no info about whether there is a curtain with the standard indent in the floor or a glass stall in the corner. You must missed all the posts about the clinging shower curtain;) There is a drain in the shower stall as well as just outside it. This is for the A1 and below I am a bigger bigger than Aruba but never had a problem with the attack of the shower curtain ;) Enjoy the cruise Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruba Posted October 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've found that if you don't close the shower curtain fully but leave an opening of an inch or two, it is less likely to attack. If it does attack, it's not pretty. Who knew that a shower curtain can be so sticky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted October 15, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I admittedly am "big" but have neither been attacked by my shower curtain nor minded the small bathroom size. Guess that 11 years in Manhattan in my "formative" young adulthood prepared me for Oceania bathrooms and European hotel rooms!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revjlw Posted October 15, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ah - okay. Thanks for the info. I guess I won't bring along the suction-cup hooks I was going to attach to the glass shower stall to hang towels on.:( I'm cruising solo, so I'm the only one who will need space in the bathroom. I won't have to be as organized as when I travel with a companion! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have hooks on the back of the door an easy reach from the shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondorner Posted October 16, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Besides which, I rarely had to hang a towel. I once stepped out of the shower and begain to dry, when the bathroom door opened a little and the room steward's arm reached in, grabbing the damp towel and thrusting a dry towel into my hands. He then stood outside the bathroom door holding a stack of dry towels until he was certain I was dry. Well, not really, but the service is darn near that good... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meow! Posted October 16, 2009 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The entire washing closet for the standard cabins on the R ships is 5'6" x 3'10" with a corner (at the shower stall) cut off, and that is outside dimensions (including the walls). However, you will be amazed how they fit a shower (albeit with a plastic curtain that can be sucked in by the draft created by running water), a large and very effective toilet bowl (which flushes more completely than on a Silversea ship), and a counter with a sink and racks enough for the needed items. If you try to recollect those student dormitory rooms decades ago, perhaps you would wish they had individual washing closets like these in them. Perhaps architects can learn something from ship cabin designs for constructing dormitories for future generations, "efficiency units" for the needy on social assistance, or for some still able bodied elderlies on fixed incomes, as potential development projects on land!

lcand1923 Posted October 18, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2009 You won't need the suction cups for the bathroom. Cabins A1 and below have the pull-out clothes line in the shower stall area and hooks on the door. There is a lot of shelf space over the toilet and below the basin. Be forwarned, we never found a way to keep the shower curtain from attaching itself to various and sundry body parts while showering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
