Shaving your legs in the shower onboard

Every female knows shaving your legs is not fun in a cruise ship shower :eek: - although I'd rather be doing it there than at home right now. I just received a catalog from solutionscatalog.com and they sell something called "The Shaving Thing" ($24.95) which attaches by suction cup to the wall and acts as a foot rest. Has anyone ever tried one? It must be placed on a flat surface of at least 5". I can't remember what the surface area is like inside the RCCL Voyager class showers - the small rounded ones. If anyone has tried one what did you think?

That is exactly why I always book a room with a tub! The tub/shower is the only place that I ever pay attention to the movement of the ship! (I guess because the space is so small) I'd hate to be bumping around with a razor in my hand!!

Legs aren't the only delicate part that gets shaved in the shower, where a little boat rocking could be dangerous;)

I never attempt to shave my legs in the shower, but then again, I never have shaved them before. :)

As a male, I never shave my legs, but I spoke with several ladies who opted to shave in the Solarium or Spa shower rooms, much more spacious.

I showered there daily just to have more room.

If you don't have sensitive skin on your legs, cream depilatories are great for cruising. It lasts 3-4 days. Don't recommend on underarms, though - get them waxed at your salon. I use a depilatory on my knees year-round because I can't seem to shave them without knicking my bony knees.

If I am not mistaken, QVC sells those shower foot rests too, maybe cheaper, who knows.

Check out their website--well,,let me search real quick and see if I can find it for you...Crap,,cant find it,,maybe a different home shopping channel. I could have sworn where ever I did see it, it was less than $25.

Ill keep an eye out :)

The spa shower is a great idea! I've been worried about this exact thing since we booked a D2 instead of JS like we had last time. Since we can't afford the JS this time I was thinking I'd just have to be hairy because I couldn't see how you could shave your legs in the round shower. I have a tiny shower at home that I just throw my leg up on the wall and lien my back on the other wall but of course it's square in shape, with the shower being round I figured I slide right out into the floor:eek:

I just finished my last treatment of laser hair removal for my legs and underarms...and so Whew! Now I don't have to worry about shaving in those small cruise showers again...yiipppeee! What you find might be a good idea for you to take along though. :)

We often use the spa showers. No crowds in the late afternoon or early evening when I usually head up for a nice relaxing aromatherapy scented steam and then a LONG shower. Showers are considerably larger than those in your cabin. I'm often the only person in the shower/steam area, so if needed, I can use one of the handicapped showers - which have a seat - to shave my legs.

Hair dryers up there too, so I get all ready for dinner (except for my clothes :) ) up in the spa area. I arrive back in our cabin, relaxed and ready to enjoy a nice drink on our balcony before dinner.

I have also seen those foot rests at places like Bed, Bath & Beyond as well as Linens N Things. I don't think they were as expensive as $25.

Another great tip to add to my list!

Do the Voyager class ships have shower curtians or those sliding door things like they had on the Jewel of the seas?

Why can't you shave your legs using the sink and then just rinse off the excess soap (or whatever you use) when you take your shower? I bring a woman's electric razor for cruising. Just easier for me.

It makes it a lot easier if you can just stand there and find someone to shave your legs for you. :)

:D :D :eek:

Ive decided to have mine waxed before i go... lasts a few weeks and comes in less and less and softer.... Just hurts alot around the ankle but now i wont have to worry about it on the cruise.

I just open the shower curtain and put my foot on the toilet seat and shave. After all there is a drain on the bathroom floor.:rolleyes:

Do they offer Brazilian bikini waxes in the spa? I've seen some nasty sights in my day.

Me too - works just fine! Although the shower curtain is an @$$ magnet!!

Oh, I am SURE that you would look LOVELY after a Brazilian bikini wax, Captain Crunch!

teamed with washing hair makes for a cozy seat on the floor of the shower, back up against the wall, leg up on the other wall & my Shick Intuition with no nicks is a blessing on a cruise. Then shampoo, body puff shower gel all over me, shave armpits too & rinse.

I usually just sit on the toilet and use my Schick Intuition. Then I hop back in the shower to rinse off.

I've decided to just get lasered. It's like $75-100 for 15 minutes...they can do a lot in fifteen minutes. I'm thinking that I can do practically my entire body before June 4th! Have to decide, I guess, where I want to keep hair versus where I want it taken off. Ahhhh, to never shave again for a lifetime...will be worth every penny!
