Batroom on Sky suite

[lovinsea]

Know this souunds like a strange question to anyone who has stayed in a sky suite

on the Equinox. I need to know how high is the bathtub, I know they don't have a

separate shower, so my problem is trying to get into the tub. I'm a short person 5' tall

had hip replacemend last year, I don't need a handicap room siince I can walk fine

and don't need assistance with anything else in my daily life. No one from Celebrity

can tell me how high the tub is so I can determine if I can manage it. I really like

Sky suite for the extra room.

 

Thanks for any info you can supply.

About knee-high for a 5-footer, I'd guess. The side of the tub is mostly cropped out on my photo, but it looks like the bathroom floor is a few inches higher than the bottom of the tub. You might be able to use the partial glass wall to brace yourself.

I'd say the tub top is at about the same height as the toilet seat, perhaps a couple inches taller. So imagine that next time you are in the bathroom doing, um, your business. :D

 

I had a tub in my Celebrity Suite on M class, and it was definitely high, so are the tubs in the higher suites. It was awkward, but totally doable.

 

I've read where some have been able to get a step stool from the butler. And there are grab bars and the towel bars are securely fastened to the walls to assist as well.

One more photo. Just click on the thumbnail.

 

I think the towel bars double as grab bars if needed.

 

Sorry the photo isn't larger.

If it is not easily stepped into, sit on the side of the tub, use hand rail for safety and swing your legs over & in. Reverse BUT put a dry towel on the edge so you being now wet won't slip on the now wet & slippery side of the tub. :)

A nice goto place for good cabin and ship photos is Andrew Depping's cruise ship gallery site.

 

Here is a good photo of an Equinox SS bathroom showing the tub:

If you don't use the tub and just shower, you could book an accessible SS. I understand that they have no tub and they are a little bigger.

Cannot thank you enough for the your replies and pictures. I believe this will be

doable for me and will be contacting my TA to book a S2 Suite, hope some are

still available otherwise will go on waitlist. Cruise is for Mar.2015

 

Thank you, Thank you, and again Thank you.
