MishelleMcc Posted August 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Shhhhh, don't tell everyone but you can request a hand held shower in your cabin before you cruise and it will be waiting for you in your stateroom!!!

That reminds me maybe I should take some hex keys with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamcruzin Posted August 28, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2019 So how do you even manipulate a handheld shower in those tinny shower stalls? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted August 28, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 28, 2019 From comments over the years here on CC I don't think this applies to all Princess ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would replace the shower head with the handheld apparatus. Very easy. I would think customer service or your Princess Cruise Consultant would make the request. I do think that they have a supply on all ships because they provide them in ADA accessible staterooms.

FoghornLeghorn Posted August 28, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) The newer ships have hand held showers. The older ships, you can request them in advance. HOWEVER, most of the time the hand held is installed and just hanging there. They did not put the "holder" on the pipe like shown. Out of 4 cruises I requested it, only ONE ship put the proper fittings on. This was last fall and earlier, so perhaps things have changed. You can email customerservice@princess.com and request it.

Ron the Rev Posted August 28, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 28, 2019 On the Grand class ships if we can't get a handycap Penthouse suit, we get the fixed shower head changed to a flex one. We also take with us a suction type head holder and a couple of suction type hand rails to attach to the glass enclosure .Works fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal & Regal has hand held shower heads and the are so much more convenient than the stationary ones. But, you’re right, the showers are kind of small, & lets not forget the dreaded shower curtains in lieu of sliding doors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MishelleMcc Posted August 30, 2019 Author #18 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Update: We just paid off our December cruise yesterday. I requested the hand held shower at that time.

Tony You both are welcome! Yeah, I tried the email and it "failed" (returned) so then I tried the message format under Captain's Circle, and had no response. So I requested it over the phone while making final payment and she found the code and sent it through! Good luck to you both!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would look at ship photos of the specific ship you will be sailing on. Maybe others can answer here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information about this is buried somewhere in one of the FAQ pages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the review below: https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=658495 I requested one once. Never again, what a joke! they unscrewed the regular shower head and attached one with the flexible hose. Too bad there was nothing to attach the shower head to. You had to hold it all the time. When not in use it just rested on the shower floor. More trouble than it was worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
