Clothesline in Silhouette Veranda Bathrooms?

If one has a balcony then bring with you 4 metres of light cord suitable for hanging clothes on and about 18 clothes pegs. The cord can be tied to the stanchions at either end of the balcony and left there all cruise. AS one does ones washing put the clothes on the clothes line on the balcony. Even at sea the wind travelling down the side of the ship is not sufficient to rip clothes off the line. Even whilst alongside if one puts the clothes to the back of the balcony they cant be seen from below. On our last trip on the solstice we were fortunate enough to have a tender blocking our view. As we couldn't see down those ashore couldn't see up. Worked a treat.

If one is using the suction cup clotheslines they are okay for smalls but not really suitable for anything heavier. We have some blow up coathangers which we will use to drip dry clothes in the shower overnight and move them out into the cabin once the Majority of water has dripped away.

 

If you do that, there is a very good chance you will be asked to take that apparatus down.

We spent 35 days on the ship last March and it wasn't an issue in port or at sea. When they had a wash down they advised us to get all our stuff out of the balcony until they finished

Maybe they need men to design the staterooms this time, I certainly hope they don't use the same group of women.

 

Sailed on Solstice earlier this year. Could not believe how badly designed the inside cabins are. Amazed they were designed by females and can't believe if they were on a longish cruise that they would send their delicates to to the ships laundry - good though I have found Celebrity laundries to have been over the years.

 

They don't necessarily need men to design the staterooms, just more sensible people of either sex. Certainly someone who has actually been on a cruise.

 

We were on a long cruise and found out from Cruise critic before we left home so bought some heavyish magnetic hooks, a length of twine and some pegs. Worked a treat but there should not be a necessity for guests to have to bring such things on a ''modern luxury" cruise.
