I think we’ve had an eventful enough day here on the blog, though I’ll leave you guys with one last thing I noticed at the very tail end of my flight (or rather it was pointed out to me by a crew member). This sign appeared above the shower spa suite:

Don't forget that some disabled passengers may need their traveling companion in the shower with them to assist.
@ snic Couples aren't allowed. The Emir has his own private jet, so I doubt that would ever be an issue ;)
OK, it makes sense that the occupancy limit is designed to permit an adult to help a child take a shower. So, what would happen if an adult couple decided to go into the shower room together? Would the FAs intervene? And if so, would an exception be made for the Emir and his wife or girlfriend? We really need to get to the bottom of this!
@Ted F - The restricting factors for certification are the number of oxygen masks available in case of depressurisation and the number of seatbelts or other restraining devices available in case of turbulence. Hence, adult or child really makes no difference.
@ Krazny -- Actually an innocent(ish) explanation. Somehow jokingly got in a conversation with a crew member about how even though the suites are fully enclosed, they're low enough so that the crew can see over them. I asked if they ever caught anyone doing something, and the crew member said all the time. Said crew member then said "for what it's worth, the shower even has a posted occupancy of two people, so take that as you may."
