misspuss Posted July 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We were last in a celebrity suite on Infinity. Wonderful suite except that the tub sides were so high I had trouble getting in and out. I have seen pictures of tubs in some other cabins on Eclipse and it looks as if the tub sides are lower. Does anyone know if this is the case? Thank you for any help.

We have been in a Celebrity Suite twice on the Connie. The height of the bath was difficult for me, having had knee problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted July 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We have been in Celebrity Suites on both M- and S-class ships. We have been on the Equinox, and my memory is that the tub height is essentially the same as on other S-class ships. I am 5' high (when I stand nice and tall). I deal with the situation by sitting on the edge of the tub and swinging my legs over from tub to floor. I don't have issues stepping up into the tub. I don't have any knee or hip issues, and am rather flexible for someone my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted July 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Cruised in a CS on Equinox. I used the same strategy as Northern Aurora for getting in (sitting on the bath and swinging legs over), I managed that fine. I didn’t feel wonderfully secure getting out, however, and my better half gave me a hand....it isn’t just about can/can’t do it is that fear of slipping.....I am small and not old but definitely mature! I have seen an M class CS but never stayed in one so can’t comment on harder or easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted July 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We've stayed in Celebrity Suites on both M and S class ships. I agree the height is about the same but there is more floor space in front of the tub on S class ships which makes getting in and out seem easier because there is room to sit and swing your legs over the edge.

Gracie115 Posted July 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We've been in both also but I do think they are not quite as high on the "S" class as on M but still not easy to get into...sitting and swinging your legs over is a good idea if it is too high for you.

misspuss Posted July 20, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thank you all for the information. That is just what I needed to know. No celebrity suite for us on the Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruba76 Posted July 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We stayed in a Celebrity Suite on the Summit. I am just barely 5' and the tub was much too high for me. However, our butler happily brought me a step stool to use that made it very easy to get in and out. Just ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted July 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The step helps getting in the tub but not getting outof the tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted July 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I have stayed in a CS on both M- and S-Class. The tub is more difficult to deal with on M-Class by far. It is adjacent to the toilet and the space between is very tight. Bad design. I am imagining that they will change this when they do the complete cabin refurbishments on all M-Class ships. So it might depend on the date of your reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The tubs are normal sized...but they are placed higher than the floor, to accommodate the drains. It's that way on all cruise ships. They have to have room for the drain trap. Sit on the side, turn and put your legs in, then stand. Same thing to get out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bEwAbG Posted July 21, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I just got off a HAL ship in May that did not have the super-high tubs, so that's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had tubs on Oasis of the Seas, Jewel, Navigator...none of them have sides as high as a CS on M or S class ships. Doesn't bother us but certainly could others.

CHEZMARYLOU Posted July 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Tubs on Celebrity in CS and higher are jetted which is probably why the sides are higher than in sky suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
