Rinsing and storing gear on cruise ships

[Bubblesong]

The handle and seat of the toilet at that late shop, along with the door knob, was actually cleaner.
Need I mention any of the rental wetsuit results?

Yes Please!

That would be another side dish of E. coli; Richelia; and some yeasts that we couldn't readily identify. Buy your own . . .

I bought my whole family wetsuits for this very reason.

I like cruise the caribbean with all my gear. I rinse everything in the stateroom shower and then hang everything from the bathroom ceiling with very strong magnetic hooks (don't forget the walls and ceiling are all metal on ships).

The pool deck showers are still my go to. Tons of room to wash everything well then lay it on some deck chairs

Dang... thank you. I just ordered some magnetic hooks and I'm going to borrow your idea for our next cruise dive trip.

Just make sure you keep those strong magnets away for anything in your suitcase that can be erased by a magnet. Been there--done that!

It works very well, and as cruise ship bathrooms are "wet rooms" (drain in floor), it doesn't matter if the gear drips a bit.

Here is a 360 degrees photo of my gear drying in the bathroom on my cruise on the Symphony OTS a few weeks ago (you can zoom in-out and pan all over:

Dive gear drying in cruise ship bathroom.

Even in a small inside stateroom bathroom the gear doesn't take up too much room.

Can you get two sets of gear in there?

Yup, no problem at all. With 3 magnets per person and coat hangers you can easily hang 2 sets of gear in the bathroom. Also when they're not dripping anymore you can move them inside the cabin along the walls to free up the shower/bathroom.
