Can anyone please share pictures and or experience? Thanks a million Birgit Most standard cabins on modern cruise ships are shower only. I have been on 60 cruises and all except one were shower only. Perfectly normal experience for me as I have never taken a bath in the bathtub since I was a kid except to try those jet tubs they have at some hotels. You don't have showers in Germany?

leerathje Posted March 13, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) We were on the Oosterdam a year ago in a Signature Suite, and it had both a shower and a bathtub. As I understand, if you want to make sure you have a bathtub you need to book a suite. However you have to be careful...the Vista suite on the Volendam and Zaandam has a tub only, but the Vistas on the others are shower only. If you have concerns, the HAL website shows you the potential room layouts. If you are looking at only the Zuidy, you will have to book a Signautre suite or up to get a bathtub. L. .

ostseelandfrau Posted March 13, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Thank you..hahaha for the joke. While i have been only on 20 cruises i never used the bath tubs eg in cunard and seabourn and i do not understand why they still have them plus the very unhygienic curtains. I would love to have a shower only with preferably a glass door. I saw some rooms indicating only shower which i love and hoped to find someone with pictures to get an impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat04 Posted March 13, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) halfacts.com is a great site for HAL cabin pics and lots of other info. Here are some verandah cabins on Zuiderdam or her sister ships that feature the shower only. https://halfacts.com/4172-zuiderdam-v/ https://halfacts.com/4172-noordam/ https://halfacts.com/vista-class/6160-westerdam/ cruisedeckplans.com is an excellent resource for cruise ship cabin pictures as well. edit: Many of the older HAL ships have a majority tub/shower combo in verandah cabins but the newer Pinnacle class ships feature shower only in verandah, and very spacious and pretty showers with the clear partition. https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/4111-koningsdam/ https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/6203-koningsdam/ Edited March 13, 2021 by fatcat04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwb101 Posted March 13, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2021 We've been on Zuiderdam twice, both in cabin 4061, and it had (and probably all partially-obscured OV cabins (behind the lifeboats) on that deck have) a tub-shower combination. We were on board in September 2018 and September 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enclosures are pretty small and the shower curtain may try to cling to you in the shower. The cabins with tubs still have a shower above the tub but some people have trouble stepping into the tub due to the high sides. If you qualify for an accessibility stateroom you will have a roll-in shower. You could consider the Signature Suites with a separate shower.

joekerstef Posted March 15, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We were in 6001 on Zuidy a couple years ago and it had a shower/tub combo. My mother loved the forward-facing room (she had the same cabin previously on Oosterdam). I did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
