Strange question - toothbrush holders

[KatHuss]

This may be a strange question, but I am trying to keep the clutter in the stateroom to a minimum. Do the bathrooms have toothbrush holders in them? I don't remember from our last cruise so I thought I'd see if someone knew.

Thanks!!!

We're planning to take an over the door shoe holder (found a cheap one at a dollar store) to put on the bathroom door to hold "stuff". Saw it recommended elsewhere on the boards.

Our room, a cat. 5, did not have a toothbrush holder. Would have been nice though.

I have a hanging toiletry holder but along the lines of suction cups I was looking at a small toothbrush holder that attaches with suction cups. I saw one at WalMart for a couple of dollars so thought I might throw that in the suitcase. Won't take up much room there but will be very helpful in the bathroom!

Thanks all!

We were in a category 8 cabin and there were no toothbrush holders. However, we use toiletry bags from LL Bean and they come with a hook, so we hung them from the towel bars and were all set.

We just grab one on the drinking glasses and use that.

We used the drinking glass too. Worked like a charm.

We did the glass too. There's also a little shelf over the sink if I remember correctly. I think I tossed the hairbrushes there. The toilet room has a corner shelf with several layers.

I just got off the 4/10 - 4/17 Magic. The do not have the toothbrush holders. I just placed all 4 toothbrushes in one of several glasses that will be left in your room. I kept this on the shelf above the sink! Worked out great!!

I have had several of the mirror-mounted clear flexible plastic suction-type of toothbrush holders (I got my first from Magellans.com) and have left them behind from Paris, France to Orlando, Florida....They are fantastic, and really inexpensive, but need to be painted bright red so that they don't blend in with the mirror surface. I got tired of the glasses being used up for non-drinking purposes (they make a perfect-sized dog food scoop), etc. and you never know when a luxury hotel is going to go cheap and provide only lightweight plastic cups instead of real glasses....nothing like seeing your toothbrush tumble to the floor...ick!

Lynda,

I hear you there. I am trying to avoid more clutter on the limited bathroom counter space (we are in a cat 11 so don't have the two room bathroom) so using a cup still leave extra stuff on the counter (the drinking cup and the toothbrush cup!). Thanks for the suggestion of painting the holder. I think the one I looked at in WalMart had white trim so I will have to see what I finally buy.

Thanks for all the input!

Still too long until June 5!!!!

Yep! We balanced our toothbrushes once at a WDW hotel and the room steward (brain cramp - can't think of what they're called on land) created a "towel animal" that held our toothbrushes quite nicely - without the worry of tipping over. And Mr. Shutterbug (that's me) didn't take a picture of it!!
