April42749 Posted June 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm thinking of booking an OV on the Escape. A few years ago I had a minisuite on the Gem....which had a bathtub. I was warned in advance....it's high...too high for short people. I ignored the warnings...but they were right. I was nervous getting in and out. I understand the Escape has bathtubs. Are they "the normal height"? If any short people have had these cabins, I'd like to know how they felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsnd1900 Posted June 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I have stayed in the Family Ocean View rooms on Escape, and would do so again any time - the tub is high. take a look at it on this video at the 1:00 mark he shows how high it is.

Catchum Posted June 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2018 On another board someone mentioned taking suction grab handles to help them getting in and out a high bath tub. They seem to be easy to find online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekitty22 Posted June 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Do all of the OV rooms on the Escape have bathtubs? I Hope NOT! We may have to cancel our cruise if it does! We need a Walk- in shower ONLY! Worried now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the link. There are "doors" to hold on to. As I recall, there was nothing to hold on to in the Gem's bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a Walk- in shower ONLY! Worried now!! In doing my research, it seems that only the Family Oceanviews have the tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a Walk- in shower ONLY! Worried now!! According to the floor plans, the standard oceanview rooms (OV with large picture window) have walk-in shower stalls and no bathtubs. The Family Oceanview rooms (which can accommodate up to 5 passenger, it says) have bathtubs with showerheads, but no shower stalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The tubs are normal once you're IN it....it's just that they are installed on a platform ( to account for the drain!), so it's a bit higher than the floor. Sit on the side, put your legs in, and then , stand. Repeat to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
