tiggertom Posted July 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Unfortunately I can't use the poll facility on this forum - I think it is an iPad issue. Anyway I prefer a shower to using a bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacktle Posted July 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2015 These suites are too expensive for us, so I will not vote. However, on 2 other cruise lines, I have loved having a bath tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenEyedKat Posted July 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Really fed up that I can't use my iPad to vote either. I can never access links on this forum. Anyway both husband and myself are definitely both in the prefer shower stall camp. He's 6 ft 2 in and cannot fit into cruise ship baths comfortably. I'm 5ft 2 in but am terrified of slipping getting in and out of the bath in rough seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted July 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) For those of you having problems with accessing the link, I have discovered it and other issues I have here are to do with the Safari browser. I now use either Opera or Mercury. They are both free apps and work fine with this forum. Opera I have found to be slightly faster.

orchestrapal Posted July 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks Phil. Just downloaded Opera and it works. Voted for walk in shower. Likewise..Showers seem to be most wanted.😀😀😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Familygoboston Posted July 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I never use a "communal" tub, even though I love mine at home. That said, don't renovate the suites for my tastes- I don't sail in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinaro44 Posted July 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Poll shows only one of eight voters wanting tubs. With 32 CC suites, that would indicate no more than four or five should have tubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uktog Posted July 27, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Poll shows only one of eight voters wanting tubs. With 32 CC suites, that would indicate no more than four or five should have tubs. I think it would be appropriate to wait until the poll closes before determining the number but I do hope this straw poll might help Azamara make an evidenced based decision. The poll has only been open less than a day, who knows if the sample at present is representative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll has only been open less than a day, who knows if the sample at present is representative. And several of us were not able to vote on our smartphones or tablets. I logged on this morning on the pc just so I could cast my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted July 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I much prefer a shower cubicle, just as long as they have got rid of the awful shower curtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam Posted July 27, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I didn't think the CC suites had a dreadful shower curtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loracpin2 Posted July 27, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 27, 2015 When Celebrity renovated the Concierge class cabins on the M Class ships to turn them into AQ class cabins, they were able to retrofit the showers and replaced the awful shower curtain with two doors. That was when I decided it was OK to book the Infinity for a unique iitinerary. It wasn't until after we booked our 2016 cruise on the Quest for another unique itinerary, that I found out V2 cabins had shower curtains and was starting to rethink our decision. I was very excited to find out Azamara was doing a major renovation on all ships. I definitely don't understand why replacing the awful shower curtains wouldn't be part of a major modernization project for what is billed as RCI's deluxe cruise line. We can only hope these comments are communicated to the decision makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tv24 Posted July 27, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The message said I could not vote in the poll. My preference is for the walk-in shower. And we are in a Club Continent in Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBMacLaird Posted July 27, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I wonder what the answers will be I've been watching the results as well, given that for nearly 10 days the other thread has been all about tubs, tubs, tubs! (Almost to the point I found myself wishing the topic would move back to the other topics…chairs, sofa, carpeting.) As of this date 18.6% prefer the tub/shower combination. All the rest a walk-in shower, or they don't care. As I said awhile back, there WILL BE TUBS. I just don't know how many or where. When the new deck plan is available, I'll let you know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the poll is open until August 23, I think its a bit early to say anything about the numbers yet. But, yhat sais, so far, 6%+ had no preference (shower over tub vs walk-in shower only, which would put the total of those that definitely want a tub and those that are okay with either at 25% (or 8 with tubs). I didn't realize there are only 32 CC suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize there are only 32 CC suites. My only experience with a cruise ship that offered either a tub or shower in a class of staterooms was with Regent's Mariner, a ship with about 60% showers in those classes of staterooms. Absolutely no one in the roll call was trying to move from a shower to a tub whereas many people stuck with tubs were looking to switch to a shower. And don't forget, those 25% OK with either would be happy with a shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachmudhut Posted July 29, 2015 #24 Share Posted July 29, 2015 On the slightly larger Oceania ships they have a full size tub with shower over PLUS a shower cubicle even in the standard cabins. We love Azamara but those darn shower cubicles and soggy curtains are truly awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvkatmom Posted July 30, 2015 #25 Share Posted July 30, 2015 On the slightly larger Oceania ships they have a full size tub with shower over PLUS a shower cubicle even in the standard cabins. We love Azamara but those darn shower cubicles and soggy curtains are truly awful! Agree with soggy shower curtains, as we endured them on Princess. So we paid the extra money for Azamara CC suite specifically so we'd have a tub/shower combo (Sailed just this last Dec/Jan in South America). If future CC suites have no tub, ZERO reason for us to book one. We'll either go veranda if we're in totally in love with the itinerary Azamara offers (but not for a voyage for any long length without a tub) or we'll go Seabourn. We were on Seabourn in May this year 2015, and our spacious cabin cost no more than what Azamara was asking for a similar voyage. We had a SEPARATE tub and shower on Seabourn and double sinks and tons of storage. Loved Seabourn, but they tend to do the "in at 8am, out at 5pm" port visit, while Azamara lets you spend more time and does overnights. We are currently booked on Azamara December 2016 Christmas trip to Singapore, Bali, etc. It's a 14 day trip and think that not having a tub for 2 weeks (and minimal storage, at least from the pix) would be a very unhappy situation and I would cancel (and go for a quasi-similar, but not quite as wonderful, itinerary Seabourn is offering). But lots of time left, so I'm optimistic that Azamara will get it right-- my husband and I LOVE Azamara's friendly staff and longer port stays. (We've also been on Crystal, Silverseas,Celebrity,HAL and other lines, but those experiences are not as directly relevant, as they are older experiences) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
