@@EmmaCruises I’m sure that was said tongue-in-cheek. She may LOOK sweet and innocent, but we know better… 😏 Even if she usually cruises with her parents and brother… 😆
A glass wall to a shower/bathroom in a hotel room is a feature in many hotels now, especially in Las Vegas. It allows for natural light in an inside bathroom where there are no windows. It also allows for a "show" if desired.
For people who get somewhat claustrophobic, having a curtain to open on that side allows additional daylight to shine in. For sole travelers, we really like the openness within the room.
I believe the purpose is to get natural light in the shower and bathroom as well as allowing you to enjoy the ocean, hence why they don't have it in an inside cabin.
Hi, Emma. I'd just like to extend my gratitude from my family to yours. Your channel helped me book our first ever cruise last Nov. I started watching your videos last June and it has made quite an impact to how we'd spend the holidays last year. ❤️❤️❤️
I think my wife and I would have a bit fun with that bathroom setup 😍 The wife would probably also appreciate the natural light and openness when doing her hair and makeup.
omg Emma thank you for mentioning that horrible mirror in most cruise bathroom. I was just on a cruise during the holiday season and tried to do my makeup in that mirror, but I just could not stand looking at myself so close up and distorted.
I took a Rhine river cruise last year and spent a few days in Amsterdam before getting on the ship. The hotel I was staying in had a very similar setup for the bathrooms as well, I thought it was very strange as an American but chocked it up to just being a quirky design choice in the recently renovated hotel and possibly a European design thing. (Never seen it before on other Europe trips) But now seeing you see this and think it's strange just cemented the idea that somewhere someone has a very strange idea on what a normal bathroom should look like.
I go to a resort in Mexico where you can open up French doors between the bathroom and the bedroom. You can relax in the bath while enjoying the view out the window. And I have also stayed at resorts in Malta and in Florida where there was a big bathtub right in the bedroom. I think complete privacy while bathing is not such a big deal in many cultures.
As someone who lives alone, I could never share my space with anyone. So, for me, natural light in the shower sounds great - and I would love the view while I showered.
They designed it that way to allow natural light into the bathroom. It's more common than you'd think in modern hotels, but usually there is a switch to turn the glass fully opaque.
It would probably be fun as long as your ship does pull up along side another at port while you're showering, since the curtain can't be closed from the shower 🤣
It’s a weird “feature”. I’ve seen it in hotels, albeit infrequently. For a time, it was de riguer in W brand hotels, for instance. Around the world, I’ve seen it most frequently in Germany and Austria, where it’s most typically a window like in your cabin, but occasionally the entire shower (sides and entrance) is in the room itself, versus the WC. And, no, these haven’t been in hotels marketing themselves as “adult”. 😅
@@notcharlie7107 I'm an American. I said my sister because, being a man, I don't carry a purse and wouldn't know myself. My wallet goes in my back pocket.
My first thought was: 'Well, if Emma wasn't cruising with her parents, no problem, oh wait, okay, separate cabins, phew' It's a strange one for sure. Two reasons I guess: (1) natural light (2) annoying your partner which is always entertaining 😁
I stayed at a Holiday Inn in Paris that had a big picture window between the bed and the bathroom. Fortunately they had a pull down curtain that worked from the bathroom side.
Its very common for showers/baths to have glasses at hotels where I live (Indonesia). Even for huge chain hotels like hilton or hyatt. Some even have a whole wall made from glass. Since Indo is a tropical country, we enjoy the sunlight so having this feature makes ur bathroom naturally lighted.
I worked in a hotel once that had a glass wall for the water closet. Very awkward if someone was using the room and you didn't know they were in there. I really don't know why you would want a glass wall for the toilet
That is an odd feature, I would hope it was disclosed when you book a specific room. I think my daughter rooming with us last cruise would've found that really awkward. Either way, you talked me into buying Captain Hudson too.
The glass shower wall saves space. It is a lot thinner than a traditional wall. High end hotels are doing this too. I stayed at Renaissance at the Warsaw airport and the shower had a glass wall.
I was on a work conference, three colleagues sharing a room. They had two windows in the bathroom, probably to let natural daylight in. We had the samme issues you mentioned, except there wasn't even frosting on the glass or a way to cover them.
Some newer hotel (on land!) designs have clear walls for the shower area, to make the room feel more spacious, or for some rooms I stayed in, because they thought it gave the design a "modern" appeal. The most fancy/risky one I've personally experienced is the Hyatt in Tokyo, where the full bathroom area (toilet and shower) were completely covered by glass walls, BUT, the minute you stepped in the bathroom space, and sensed a human being (I think that was the trigger), the walls automatically fogged up. Good thing I was by myself in the room, but at least the automatic fogging never failed!
LOL, you’re adorable. It is indeed common now in modern hotel bathrooms; I first noticed it over a decade ago in Miami, and more recently in Vegas. Even in Asia, I’ve learned to check photos carefully when traveling with friends after I ended up in a similar setup with a romantic partner in Shanghai. You were lucky-I’ve never seen them provide a curtain 😂. It is so cute that you found this remarkable enough to discuss when you were traveling with your partner! I think it’s only a problem if you’re traveling with a non romantic partner. But agree that it’s an unnecessary feature.
We went on the NCL Epic in 2019 and the bathroom situation was weird. As soon as you entered the cabin the toilet was in one side and the shower on the other. Both were frosted no curtains. There was a curtain separating the bedroom from the bathroom area but if someone was entering the cabins including the staff would have a show. Unfortunately this happened on several occasions
Some people love to watch. That is why they did it. It’s a swingers cruise ship. Emma’s secret it out in the open. You cheeky bird! Bravo and well played.
Just so you know they have these same type showers in some rooms in the cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. The difference was there was no blurred out area. It was truly odd since the room had two double beds and we happen to be there for a bachelor party. 😂
The curtain could be useful if you’re travelling with children who are old enough to shower independently but might perhaps shout for help occasionally. Or if you’re travelling with someone with mobility issues who may need you to check in with them. Or maybe I’m clutching at straws & it’s an “adult entertainment” thing 😂
Having lost interest in cruising since the pandemic started (I just dont like to be around strangers anymore), these videos are incredible to me. I feel like Im cruising with you!
Emma : it was so you could watch the tv whilst in the shower. They are common in the better European (non-uk) hotels. TV likely on a swivel and speaker somewhere in bathroom if they had bothered.
3:25 in Canada a purse is the same ... but also includes any women's handbag that is not huge, and does not include clutches. If men carry one it is usually just called a bag.
i was sharing a hotel room with my nephew at a family thanksgiving escape to the Morongo indian casino. same deal. big window from the room into the shower. but no frosted glass. no curtain. NO WAY. I found out every standard room was like that. What were they thinking? upgraded to a suite that didn't have that idiotic feature.
Some mainland hotels have been doing this as well, where there is a glass partition, totally see through from the room into the shower. Absolutely incomprehensible that people would do this! The only thing I can figure is natural light would help with mold issues. Otherwise, can't imagine!
Hey Emma, This window in the shower thing is very common in hotels in Asia. We ran into this in Thailand in November. There was a blind you could lower but it was on the bathroom side, much better I think. It did bring natural light into the bathroom but I suspect the window is for more shall we say romantic reasons for couples. Someone did suggest that if you're a man and you bring a girl back to your room, you can keep an eye on her while you use the facilities to make sure she isn't going through your stuff. That said, I just wanted to let you know that I'm finally going on my first cruise on Friday and I'll be able to finally use all the great info you have shared on your channel. I'm Alaska bound!
I'm going with they had in the plans access to the shower from the cabin, which would be nice as ship bathrooms can be a bit tight for 2+, and at the last minute realized the carpets would be constantly wet and create issues. Thus they simply threw the glass into this opening as it was the cheapest fix.
I absolutely hate being in cabin bathrooms longer than needed, due to some mild claustrophobia. So this would be my perfect cabin 👌😂 as maybe i can trick my brain with the view to the room
i wonder if the shower window could also be for noticing someone coming into the room or even seeing if anyone is hiding in the shower when you come in haha
When I was living and travelling in China pre-pandemic, almost all of the hotels that I stayed at had a glass wall between the shower and the room. There was usually a curtain or blind that you could close if you wanted, but not always. Awkward when travelling with a 9 year old. Yeah, it was weird.
I ordered a Captain Hudson to go with my many American Airlines pilot bears (and on El Al pilot plush animal too). I am a flight attendant and so excited to add Captain Hudson to my collection.
I’ve stayed in a hotel in Las Vegas and another in New York that had completely clear glass panels (no frosted bit) between the shower and bedroom area. Very strange idea!
At 0:49 you are definitely dressed in the right color for that corridor. As for the curtain outside the shower, maybe it makes an adjustable night-light for those who don't want a dark cabin at night. Beyond that, I'm baffled.
Cool to give the person taking a shower the option to look out at the sea while showering. To have the curtains on the other side however leaving the person showering completely vulnerable to an uncomfortable prank is very odd. 🙈🚿
It's so you can still get an ocean view from your bathroom, it's a new design concept in a few high end luxury rooms to increase the scenic rooms, privacy with a view.
Emma, loge your videos and insite- thanks for all that you do. I ordered our Hudson plush and the company seems to be gouging on your charitable cause. I ordered two Hudson plushes and they charged shipping like it was two separate orders (2×$7).
We must have had a REALLY budget cabin on the Achilles Lauro. The shower and toilet were combined, so you had to put the toilet paper outside if you wanted to shower 😄😄
I stayed in a hotel in Minneapolis that had a shower like that. But the glass was very frosted and for the most part you could only see a form in the shower. I think it's meant to be for a couple on a romantic adventure.
Hi, just one question, how was the temperature control in the cabin?. Was it easy to use and effective?. We've been on a few cruises and found the A/C not up to scratch when it's really hot outside.
I bet the glass as a wall makes it easier to fit the bathroom into the room. Less likely people will lean on glass too, I suppose. The curtain is the 'solution' to the view but not thought out. 🤟
I hate being on the water, but your videos always make me want to chance a cruise. Ordered a Captain Hudson for my sister in law who takes a couple cruises every year. Now, she won't have to travel alone.😉
We would actually just call it a wallet! Maybe an older woman would call it a “clutch”, but it’s really just a wallet, and the bag you put it in is a purse
Emma, our hotel in NYC back in 2020 (pre-pandemic!) had a shower like that - we thought it was very weird too! We also had the same problem with the light.
Many hotels on my Asian travels have had glass walled bathrooms. Some with frosted glass some with blinds to cover the glass, Often the toilet is secluded by a second partition and door. I am not a fan, but I dont let it spoil my stay.
Nature light in the bathroom is great for putting on makeup especially if you are older and your eyesight is not as good. We had a house built and have 2 windows which I love for putting makeup on and getting ready.
“I was very confused why anyone would want this.” Such a sweet outlook on life. Never change, Emma!
😂 Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Yeah, my wife and I would love this. We've always talked about having a house with a open glass shower in the master bed/bath.
Va-Va Voom!

Yep Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens on a cruise chip gets reported all over UA-cam. 😁
I’ve stayed in hotels in HongKong and Singapore that had the same “feature”. My husband thought it was a brilliant idea.😂😂😂
For people who get somewhat claustrophobic, having a curtain to open on that side allows additional daylight to shine in. For sole travelers, we really like the openness within the room.
YES!!!!!! I'm a solo cruiser AND am extremely claustrophobic, so this would be perfect for me.
If you're with your partner, I don't think there's anything wrong with "enjoying the view" whether in the shower or out! 😂
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma, that could be taken two ways!
I absolutely love the see thur shower wall. And we been married 46 years.
@@kennethcarter2737 Always good to have more views.
Why do some people refuse to say "husband" and "wife" any more? Or is the refusal in being one?
I believe the purpose is to get natural light in the shower and bathroom as well as allowing you to enjoy the ocean, hence why they don't have it in an inside cabin.
Yeah so true. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
It seems very expensive to add it for natural light.
But the shower seems to be so far from the balcony
A window with a curtain would give enough natural light and privacy

That glass window is really cool. Imagine showering while at sea and being able to see out through the balcony doors! Beautiful.
Emma, I don’t know how you did it, but you created a wildly entertaining, and informative, 8 minute video about a shower curtain.
10/10
Hahahaha, best comment ever. 😂
I agree!
Honestly, it's the most interesting shower curtain since G.L.A.D.O.S., so....
I think my wife and I would have a bit fun with that bathroom setup 😍 The wife would probably also appreciate the natural light and openness when doing her hair and makeup.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
As one who despises artificial light while the sun is out, I love the shower window idea!!!

The window is made for couples! That’s fun!

Give your bf/gf or spouse a special show !

@@mrdan2898 You can't see IN... only out.
As someone who lives alone, I could never share my space with anyone. So, for me, natural light in the shower sounds great - and I would love the view while I showered.

They designed it that way to allow natural light into the bathroom. It's more common than you'd think in modern hotels, but usually there is a switch to turn the glass fully opaque.
I'm guessing the exterior shower curtain was picked because it was cheaper than a built-in while still keeping the shower curtain from getting mildewy
„Why would they do this?“ Well, you can have a daylight bathroom/shower or can be nice watching your better half showering :).
feel they did the bathroom thing so you could be in the shower and look out through the balcony door to the outside.
Yeah I suppose so, bizarre! 😂

Yay!!!! I’m expecting he’ll be arriving in April but maybe he’ll be early or perhaps it’s a good reason to book another 😂💕
@@EmmaCruises I did read the part about April, but a boy can dream. 🤗 And I will be booking more, I am hooked.
I stayed in a hotel in Minneapolis that had a shower like that. But the glass was very frosted and for the most part you could only see a form in the shower. I think it's meant to be for a couple on a romantic adventure.
Yeah maybe. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Hi, just one question, how was the temperature control in the cabin?. Was it easy to use and effective?. We've been on a few cruises and found the A/C not up to scratch when it's really hot outside.
Yep was good, generally newer ships = better AC 😀❤️
I bet the glass as a wall makes it easier to fit the bathroom into the room. Less likely people will lean on glass too, I suppose. The curtain is the 'solution' to the view but not thought out. 🤟
To fit? I’d have thought it’d be more difficult haha, Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I hate being on the water, but your videos always make me want to chance a cruise. Ordered a Captain Hudson for my sister in law who takes a couple cruises every year. Now, she won't have to travel alone.😉
Awwhhh!!!! I love that thanks so much 😀🤘🏼
That shower design for sure is weird!
In the US I think they call a small purse a "clutch", just big enough to hold some $, credit cards and ID.
Yessss clutch bag. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
We would actually just call it a wallet! Maybe an older woman would call it a “clutch”, but it’s really just a wallet, and the bag you put it in is a purse
That cabin is a million times better than my apartment. I have to rethink my living space.
I see the bathroom design at modern hotels here in the US and quite like looking out to the view, usually an ocean.
Love listening to your commentry.
Emma, our hotel in NYC back in 2020 (pre-pandemic!) had a shower like that - we thought it was very weird too! We also had the same problem with the light.
😂😂😂
Many hotels on my Asian travels have had glass walled bathrooms. Some with frosted glass some with blinds to cover the glass, Often the toilet is secluded by a second partition and door. I am not a fan, but I dont let it spoil my stay.
Most channels I have to set playback speed to 1.25 to stop me getting bored, on this channel I have to set it to 0.9 to keep up with her !
I love this!!! I edit my videos at 2x speed. 😂😂
“I wish I had more natural light” lol
😂😂😂😂
Costa should market those cabins to honeymooners.
Yeah maybe, and not have all cabins like it. 😂😂
No fense, the shower set up is..... concerning.
Nature light in the bathroom is great for putting on makeup especially if you are older and your eyesight is not as good. We had a house built and have 2 windows which I love for putting makeup on and getting ready.
Sounds good! 😁🥳
I prefer the bed that comes down from the wall. I like being elevated cuz you dont really feel the rough waters like you would on a bed on the floor.
Still better then the Norwegian Epic "bathroom" design!
Haha, I didn’t mind that one 🤣💕
I have been to only one cruise trip so far and your videos make me want to book another one very soon….
Best vlogger at sea without a doubt.
Thank you! 😁❤️
well other than drinking pepsi and eating on the ship emma doesn't do much
