GreenValleyDogWalker Posted November 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Looking at the floor plans on both the Volendam and the Osterdam Cruising on the Osterdam next month - in a Neptune Suite - booked for all of the wonderful suite "perks" - including the fact that the SB suite includes a separate shower stall We are thinking of booking a cruise on the Volendam next year - it sure looks like the floor plans in the suites on that ship have the shower INCLUDED in the tub ??? May sound like something silly to worry about - but - husband has trouble stepping in and out of tub - wants a separate shower(I LOVE the whirlpool tubs !) Can anyone confirm bathroom lay-outs ? THANK YOU !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU !! Bathroom layout on the older S & R ships (of which the Volendam is one) is indeed the bathtub & shower combo. Only the newer ships of Vista class and up (of which the Oosterdam is one) offer separate showers and baths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted November 8, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2019 It’s not a silly thing to worry about at all. The sides of the tub/shower combo are very high and difficult for many pax. Now that HAL has cabins with a separate stall shower I would never book a combo tub/shower again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSR Posted November 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The only problem with the stall shower is that it is quite small...don't drop the soap 😒 (or I guess you can use the provided liquid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallest ever was on the K in a corner aft Neptune. Shower was smaller than a phone booth! In the Vista Neptunes, I think there is a shower over the tub in addition to the stall shower. So if you don't mind climbing into the tub, you do have more space to shower there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic, because in everything below a suite on Pinnacle ships you get a large shower, with no tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would so much rather just have the large shower. The only good thing about the tub is the long clothesline for hanging swimsuits and hand laundry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted November 9, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2019 On the Koningsdam I’ve done a Neptune suite and a Verandah. I much prefer the bathroom in the Verandah so, on that alone, I wouldn’t book another Neptune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What was that? Posted October 28, 2021 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I just noticed on the HAL website description of NS amenities: "The bathroom comes with a dual-sink vanity and some suites have a shower-only option while others provide a full-size whirlpool bath and shower, and an additional shower stall. " Is there any resource that can tell which NS have the "shower-only option"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for that on the deck plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
