The caulking should set up in about 24 hrs, then you can use the shower again.
Surprisingly, it can take up to 3 days depending on how much moisture is in the air. Click on this link to read the article:

Good luck!
most of the new caulks are fast drying about 30 minutes but it depends on temperature and humidity. I would say a few hours to be safe
IF YOU HAVE USED WATERPROOF . 3 DAYS SHOULD BE ok
About 1-3 days should be enough, I always like to err on the side of caution with these things :) good luck!
I wait 2 days to be sure.
