I cruised with Carnival first time and rinsed and dripped every thing in the shower/bathroom. I used a tote to catch the water when hanging out side bath. I was fortunate enough to get a large suite and balcony last summer on a Noregion Cruise. Rinsed gear in tub and hung on balcony.
 
well when i was in the cruise they have very little space i rinsed everthing int the sink and the shower befor i i hung it out to dry i put everything in the bathroom on the line on the inside on the towel racks on the sink fins i leaned agianst the wall ect.. its just a pain if you want to use the bathroom..
 
I'm going to dive on a seven day cruise. My dive will be wednesday and we don't get home until that sunday. I bought a seasoft drybag. If I rinse my stuff well and put it in the bag wet will it be okay until I can wash it well at home or do I need to get it drying while I'm still on the ship?
 
My sisters and I took a Celebrity cruise to Bermuda with all our dive gear. After the last dive, we lugged our bags to the pool deck. The crew turned away as we went into the shower there and washed our gear. They didn't even mind when we layed it all out on some lounge chairs off to the side to dry. We had dry and not stinky gear in our room.
 
I just did the same thing on a Princess Cruise. Having a balcony definitely makes drying out gear easier. We also had people using the back adult pool which had very low levels of chlorine. Sorry, no storage on the ship outside of your room.
