Why / When would you like to use a shower at a UA lounge / club?
Presently for UCs, only the C123 EWR UC has showers
All the Polaris lounges have showers
The SFO T2 MLL has showers
Reported the new DEN UC will have showers and showers will be introduced at hub UCs when remodeled

Showers removed from all domestic United Clubs (and now returning to EWR, others?)

I failed to understand why people are sayng showers are being taken away from United Clubs. All those PMUA RCC never had showers in the first place (except for deidicated arrival facilities for international arrivals not club memebrs), so nothing have been taken away. Nothing has changed.
On the PMCO lounges, not all had showers. EWR had them and now being added back. Nothing has changed.
Yes, I would like to see United adding showers to the newer lounge.

To bring it back on topic I'll add another
for no showers in this new lounge.

Love to see a few pics folks. As far as the shower issue. Even if they had them I typically don't feel the need to shower of a Dom flight even a TCON but to each his own. TPACs and TATLs are different, I do it regularly.

If the new UCs had showers then people would be on here complaining up and down about how they are too crowded and can't get in, families monopolizing them, dirty, someone caught athletes foot, etc. For those reasons alone I'm glad there are no showers so we don't have to read that.

There were also showers in one of the ORD UCs, plus of course NRT and HKG.

What an odd comment. By this logic, UA should drop all amenities from its lounges and its aircraft.
Yes, they did, continuing for something like five years after the merger, when the PC became a UC. I used them often when returning from Central and South America. (And I don't recall ever reading any complaints about them here on FT, though there was certainly an outcry when they were removed.)

I definitely showered in an ORD UC. It was years ago and I don't remember the basis for access.

I did at the UC at C16 before it was taken for Polaris. Post merger pre Polaris. There was a window of time where this option was available for plain old UC guests (no status or intl itinerary needed)

Yes, but my recollection ( a bit fuzzy now) is an Arrival facilities similar to the SFO Arrival, and access are limited to certain group of passengers. I do see others have posted their experience in this thread. I still remember reciveing board pass like Arrival invitation cards that I had to present to the ORD shower attendants.

Otherwise, it was limited to pax from the IFL.

I remembered I went in not to shower but just to get a pair of slippers and travel size bottle of lotion (it was using Philosophy at the time) for my NRT flight on NH11. Yes, it still had all the arrival amenities but not just pure showers.

Actually PMUA made it so IFL pax cannot use the showers but solely just for arrivals pax, I remembered twice I went in there and was told no, once was on UA 829 ORD-HKG in F back in 2006

Is new UC next to old club and polaris? Is it possible the showers will be added somehow once the Polaris addition opens? That's the only reason I can think of for not putting showers in. Disappointing.

That was part of the arrivals before the merger, and before the merger you can't use it unless you are qualified to use the arrivals, it only opened up to use for anyone that has united club access for a short time after the merger and before the construction of Polaris lounge

From my memory, there were published "arrivals" hours, and that access to the shower outside of those hours was the questionable part. But wow, that was a long time ago.
And judging by the pictures in the TR, the phone cameras were crap. (I won't say it was the skill of the operator). Haha
