Abstract
A shower arrangement for a passenger aircraft includes a single shower cabin and at least two dressing cabins associated with the shower cabin. A door arrangement selectively opens and closes access areas passing from the dressing cabins into the shower cabin, so that only one access area can be open at any given time, while the other access area(s) is (are) closed. The throughput rate of the shower is increased, because at any given time a first user can be dressing in a first dressing cabin after having showered, while a second user is showering in the shower cabin, and while a third user is undressing in a third dressing cabin in preparation for taking a shower. Privacy is maintained by the interlocked doors.
