Maybe Tilly and Burnham, as a cadet and kinda civilian, have a lower level quarters which doesn't have its own bathroom, but maybe has a shared bathroom. And Stamets and Culber, as higher ranked officers, have the nicer quarters with bathrooms.

Ha ha, valid point... Adding tech just for the sake of it!
Let me fix that for ya...
"F%^# yeah it looks kewl!" is the only explanation you'll get.
No. The line must be drawn here. This far, no further. We have made too many sacrifices already, too many compromises.
Nah, I'm just kidding. These Klingons are great.

Holographic coms and not viewscreen
Warp capable shuttlecraft
Enterprise Delta on discovery
Entire redesign of klingon ships (the Kingons them self I can just about live with)
To me, it seems like there is absolutely no reason to set it in the time they have, especially if they wanted to play around with new tech (spore drive anyone).
Those are my two cents anyway, again, I'm new, treat me gentle and bloody live long and prosper.[/QUOTE]
Likely already covered at this point but
1: Its a retcon, that does actually fit with the timeline. ENT gave them this technology 100 years ago. It is not as good as TNG era holodecks, but does fit the timeline.
2: TOS had warp capable shuttles
3: The Delta was starfleet wide and seen on other crews. The other symbols was a production error.
4: They simply redesigned them. This is what they look like now and what they look like in TOS
5: No reason not to set it in this time either.

Did Voyager EVER make any sense?
Well sure, with what appears to be some really bizarre unintended side effects the nature of which we have not yet seen. We know it basically kills (slowly) whoever you hook it up to as a pilot... who's to say "Evil mirror stamets" isn't the whole reason they stopped using it in the future?
DS9 too, where O'Brien is crowing about the Defiant's new holographic communication system - 120 years after the USS Shenzhou (an old ship in 2249 when Michael Burnham first boards!) had it.
Janeway would literally fight her crew to be the one to plug in and send Voyager home. In fact it'd probably be a battle royal among the senior staff to be the one to kill themselves to send them home. One use and home. They tempted the Borg to get home, what have evil mirror people have on them?
I would imagine that technology would allow you to freeze the image, allowing you to walk around and see it from all angles, maybe change the color of your clothing. I can think of a lot of advantages a Holo mirror would have.
Maybe it's a holographic sink
The entire series is holographic....everything and everyone! Discovery is HOLOGRAMS!!!!!!
Oh...wait a minute...yeah....
Why would anyone need a serious in-show explanation for a holographic mirror being used vs a normal half one on the wall? Because the better tech is available is all one needs to know. They use it for face to face messaging etc, so why the hell not?
Why does anyone need a huge flat screen tv vs a perfectly fine clunky model? Why do we have touch phones when pushing buttons will do the job too? Why do some people constantly upgrade their PCS every few years or months even for only marginally better graphics or processing power?

BECUZ DISCOVERY IS TEH SUX AND I CAN'T STOP COMPLAINING UBOUT EVREETHING!!!1!1!1!!!
Decaf, dude.
I just rewatched Star Trek VI and I cannot believe I had forgotten this, but the Klingon's ship (Azetbur's ship, Qo'nos 1) has a holographic comm unit that projects the Federation President's head and shoulders above the table when they are negotiating about the new location of the peace accords. 10 points for Discovery!
Really? Because I seem to remember her firing a shit ton of photon torpedoes at Captain Ransom over EXACTLY that sort of issue...
This is kind of what I mean about Voyager not really making sense. On the one hand, the "moral dilemma" episodes were handled incredibly inconsistently and "Shouldn't our top priority be getting home safely?" was used as a plot device numerous times with different approaches to many of them. On the other hand, the crew of that ship single handedly invented or discovered not less than five alternate propulsion systems during their voyages and failed to fully implement any one of them. Even the slipstream drive that got all of them killed in that one alternate dimension still totally WORKED, and would have gotten them home pretty quickly if they'd resolved to use it in short bursts instead of trying to Fast Travel all the way back to Earth. If they'd even TESTED it more often, they probably would have found ways to extent their sprint range, but by the end of the episode Janeway was on full "Well, that didn't work, let's just forget about the whole thing" and they never mentioned it again.
A Voyager episode featuring the Spore Drive would be exactly what you'd expect: Paris or Kim finds some spores in a derelict ship, B'elanna somehow remembers some obscure theory she read about in the academy about how to use the spores for a quantum-displacement translocation drive (which they will totally use as its name from now on because Voyager). They'll get to the "we can only jump a few thousand kiloemters" point within the first twenty minutes of the episode, and then the tardigrade comes aboard about halfway through; they figure out how to use it to run the spore drive, but then somebody (probably Kes or Neelix or, hell, even Chakotay) figures out that the drive is physically harming the tardigrade and now Janeway has to wrestle with the morality of harming or potentially killing one creature in order to rescue her crew. She either decides not to (resulting in the tardigrade being released and then zapping them, say, 5% of the way closer to earth to show its gratitude) or she decides to do it anyway, at which point some sort of quantum tachyonic interference pattern throws off their navigation, Voyager gets lost, the tardigrade escapes and mauls two redshirts before busting out of an airlock and fleeing the ship, and we all learn a valuable lesson about animal cruelty.
It seemed more like a flat image being projected into the air, not a 3D hologram.
Kor
I have no clue why folks are upset over the holograms. They got holo tech in the 2150s. It fots in the timeline and suspace telephone or facetime do not seem hitech in 2017.
Maybe it's a holographic sink
Lol. I figure the reason Burnham is using a holographic projection of herself is to get a sense of the uniform she is wearing for the first time in six months. Can't exactly do that with a bathroom mirror.
