Shampoo and Conditioners??

[scalan]

This may seem dumb but after 3 Princess cruises I cannot recall if Princess places those little bottles of shampoo and conditioners in the bathrooms. That is probably because I have always packed our own bottles whenever we travel. However, this time I am attempting to lighten the load in any way I can. Anyone remember?

Yes, both shampoo and conditioner. But the conditioner isn't the best, but works great for shaving your legs. :)

I am not touching the shaving comment.

 

But, yes, they do supply shampoo & conditioner. Also body lotion. The cabin steward will replenish as needed.

My steward was pretty stingy about replenishing. He was in the bathroom and I asked him for more shampoo. He pointed to a large bottle of sunscreen on the shelf and said "You got a lot of shampoo there". I explained that was sunscreen not shampoo, but I don't think he understood.

I've never had a cabin steward decline a request for more bath items on a Princess ship. Usually they're good about having enough in the cabin that I don't need to ask for more.

The shampoo and hand lotion are Eucalyptus scented. Most people seem to like it but the scent bothers my wife.

The Eucalyptus shampoo etc are perfectly OK but those little bottles drive me crazy. I like something that I don't have to shake and won't fly out of my wet, soapy hand in the shower so, after I fly in to the port (since I always arrive at least a day before), I go to a convenient drug store and buy larger bottles of shampoo, lotion etc and discard them before flying home. Even if you arrive the same day, there's drug stores everywhere, it only takes a minute or two to pick up what you need before you board.

 

A plus for me is that US prices are generally a lot lower than at home!

I think it's hysterical that the theater smells like eucalyptus at the shows! :D

Oh boy, that eucalyptus stuff in the bathrooms really bothers me also. You would think that after several years of this, they would switch it out. But, that's just me (my husband doesn't mind it).

Always bring some home and use it when I need cheering up. Just the smell makes me feel better and encourages/reminds me to book another cruise:eek:

Yes it is supplied and I think it smells great. :)

What about shower gel in non-suites; is it available at all? I really liked the stuff that Holland America provides-from Elemis, I think.

The body wash is in the upgraded amenities for suites/elites etc. But if you ask Stewart nicely he may get some for you.

As long as it doesn't smell like WET Eucalyptus. *laugh*

 

I'll definitely be taking my own shampoo and conditioner. Maybe I'll even invest in some of the Green Apple Suave conditioner again. (Smells like an apple orchard!)

 

Oh, the decisions that have to be made when traveling.
