Rare kjbacon Posted May 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2020 It looks as though the shower stalls are rather tight in both the Veranda suite and the penthouse suite on the Odyssey. I’ve tried to find videos on line to get a better look at them and clear answers aren’t easy to find. I think the sizes of the showers are about the same in both suites but the penthouses have a glass wall which gives it a more open feel? We have our deposit on the penthouse suite but I’d like to get as much info as possible early in the process (my husband is claustrophobic). Any and all input about the showers on the Odyssey would be very much appreciated, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelker Posted May 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2020 You can get a fairly good idea of a Veranda suite shower size towards the beginning of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSGN97bBHJ4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks uncomfortably small. Have you seen the shower in both the Veranda and penthouse suites ... is the Veranda one smaller? Your help here is really appreciated.

Neither my husband or I would call it uncomfortably small. Having the solid glass European-style door on it certainly makes it feel non-claustrophobic, at least to us. In looking at this video of the Penthouse suite, it doesn't look much bigger, if at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uinqTxduvOE But the Penthouse Spa suite shower is definitely bigger than either of the first two: Edited May 3, 2020 by zelker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to book the spa suite for that very reason but it wasn’t available. I also thought the penthouse shower looked about the same size but the extra glass wall will help him to some degree. I’m hoping it’s also larger than it looks. It’s early yet so I bet that someone who’s been in both will still chime in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted May 3, 2020 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Actual;;y I think the shower in the penthouse is larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmk Posted May 3, 2020 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The shower in a penthouse suite on the Quest is larger so I assume the same on the Odyssey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenecke Posted May 3, 2020 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Yes, the penthouse suite shower is slightly larger than the veranda suite shower. In the veranda shower I am constantly banging my elbow into the wall when washing my hair. In the penthouse shower it only happens occasionally! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted May 3, 2020 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2020 If you require a large shower you may want to try to get an accessible stateroom (suite). There would be a valid reason if your handicap or weight requires a large shower. My husband and I have never had a problem with the showers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalapanda Posted May 4, 2020 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2020 For more room why not use the shower over the bath. Personally we do not find the shower uncomfortable or claustrophobic . It is more than adequate for the average size frame. This is our experience in the verandah suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kjbacon Posted May 4, 2020 Author #12 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Taking everything into account, our best solution is to stay with the penthouse suite. Thank you, all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the case in the smaller suites (23sq m) I think, on about deck 7 or 8 (near the front of the ship) which may differ but most suits are identical and have both separately. I have not been in or even seen a penthouse suite so I can’t comment on that. I have been on both the Ovation and the Encore and apart from the decor (the marble is lighter in color) the bathrooms in most suites are virtually the same as the Odyssey and the Quest. Even though the showers are small, they are fine for us and I would rather the extra space elsewhere in the cabin rather than the shower which only gets used for about 15 mins a day.

It was a couple of years ago so the might have fitted them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, your voice is very impressive (wow) and is almost as good as your outfit. GQ worthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltsally Posted May 12, 2020 #21 Share Posted May 12, 2020 That NYT link provides a great piece of 'shower singing' (yes - the tap is running🙂) though he does seem to 'run out of steam' on the last number or two. But it's also a fine bit of reporting - and a look at yet another facet of what this plague has wrought, literally holding people prisoner.
