I travel alot and one of the worst things for me is checking into a nice hotel, bathroom looks great, even has a shower massage head and when I turn it on I get a DRIBBLE:mad: I like a shower with real pressure either for spray or massage settings.:) How are the showers on the Noordam? We are booked SS GTY so don't know cabin yet, but should be SS or better (pray...pray...pray:rolleyes: )

Just came off the Noordam on 3/21 and the Showers were excellent with great water pressure and controls. We were in a Cat VC

We were in an SA on Noordam. Great shower! In fact, we had two. There is a shower in the tub, adjustable height wall bracket or handheld with massager settings. There is a separate shower, fairly small enclosure, with an identical setup. Pressure was strong enough to strip paint!... Well... that might be a slight exaggeration, but it was very good pressure.

We were in a veranda cabin on the Noordam and the showers were terrific. Lots of pressure and lots of hot water.

HAL has some of the best showers in their bathrooms.
They use Grohe faucets like these:

The water pressure is quite good - that's controlled by one knob. *The temperature is easily adjustable using another knob that is calibrated in Celsius - it has a little red "safety" button that you have to press to get above body temperature.
Overall, the pressures & temperatures on HAL ships are very well regulated - no fluctuation at all...
...unlike those on that other "premium" cruiseline.
:cool:

The showers on the Noordam are awesome! Never a problem with pressure or the water temperature!;)

Ditto here! It's no fun when you can barely rinse the shampoo from your hair. ;)
Thanks all!!! So great to know!:D

We were on deck 7 aft, and while I don't remember the shower as being especially strong, I would have remember if it was one of those anemic things! :D
