HallOfPromise Posted March 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've been trying to do a search on the boards about those retractable clotheslines in the showers or bathroom areas for standard balcony staterooms but I've been getting mixed answers. The gist I'm getting is some of the larger staterooms may have them (like JS and up) and some other staterooms may not have them (maybe, not sure). I have a Central Park balcony and was hoping to have a clothesline. I'm going to try my hardest to workout everyday (I truly need the motivation) and I don't want to bring 7 days worth of workout clothes, so I'm going to wash my clothes and hang-dry them. I don't want an issue like "not enough clean clothes" to be an excuse and keep me from working out. LOL If they don't have a built-in clotheslines, does anyone have any tricks to drying clothes? Anyway to fix my own clothesline in the balcony area or anywhere to clip something to, preferably out of sight? I also don't want to litter the balcony with clothing and keep the ship looking clean. First time on RCI. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2017 ... If they don't have a built-in clotheslines, does anyone have any tricks to drying clothes?... Roll the clothes in a towel and step on the roll to squeeze as much moisture out as possible. Then hang in the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPIcruiser Posted March 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2017 We always pack a travel clothes line. It is made for camping but works well on a cruise for drying swim suits and workout clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imlulu Posted March 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2017 We were in an oceanview balcony on deck 10 recently. THere was no clothesline. There was a hook in the shower, but tight. I did reuse bathing suits. I put on deck chair on balcony to dry. We worked out pretty much every day but took clothes for those days. We found ourselves wearing workout clothes during day on sea days if not in sun. We took less types of other clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted March 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2017 We take magnetic hooks with us and hang damp (towel rolled, not wet) items from the ceiling next to the AC. They dry very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted March 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2017 No clothesline in either balcony or JS on Allure or Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Aider Posted March 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Squeeze the wet cloths in a Sham Wow. It really removes the water and takes less time to dry. Easy to pack also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted March 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2017 After washing and rolling in a towel I hang the cloths with inflatable hangers or cloths pins that swivel. I think the inflatable hangers aid in drying because of better air circulation. I have been on ships without a cloths line and I usually find a spot in the bathroom or shower stall to hag them. These are the products I use. In the product description of the cloths pins they say "Super Strong" and they are.

LuCruise Posted March 24, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The closet includes hangers with the plant hanger clips. I hung our bathing suits on these to dry. Should work for your workout clothes too as long as not dripping wet after washing. Sent from my ONE E1005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomarian Posted March 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I can confirm that the Grand Suite on the Allure has a clothesline in the bathtub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES Read this years ago on CC and works great. Thanks for sharing the great idea. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
