Bathroom supplies: every cruiseline is different. What about Princess?

[flashdog_1]

Some supply Qtips, others not. Bottles of hand lotion? Cotton balls for makeup remover? Hair dryer, shower cap, shoe shine fabric. Please advise. I'm getting stuff out of my cruise storage place today. Thanks

What type of cabin did you book? Full Suites offer different amenities for toiletries than cabins below full suites.

We had a balcony room and they had small bottles of shampoo, body lotion and bar soap. Your cabin stewart will replenish when empty. My DH used the soap only. He felt that the shampoo did not get his hair clean? I liked the eucalyptus scent of the body lotion, so used that. But I brought my own shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Just be aware that the showers are small and there is VERY LIMITED space for products.

Thanks!

I believe the basics in every cabin are shampoo, conditioner and bar soap. I've never had any problem with their products and never bring my own. There's a hair dryer in every cabin on the wall over the desk.

I love the scent of the lotion, etc. Thank goodness we are leaving on the next cruise soon as I used my last drop of lotion the other day.:p

Some of the extra stuff in the suites are nice but, how much of that stuff do you really use?

[sashas_mom]

I like to bring my own shampoo, body wash, etc. My husband is fine with what Princess has in the cabin. Since we get a balcony cabin and not a mini suite the shower is very small. I found the perfect Cruise shower caddy by Favors By Serendipity. They even have a product for the soap so it doesn't, keep dropping (just try and bend down to pick it up in those showers):eek:

We always bring what works for us....if there's stuff we can use in the cabin, fine....otherwise, we know we have what we need and like!

[Steviewonder1]

Yes the PH Suites have the Shower Gel-EE liquid soap and other creams and rinses. That is in addition to having Jaccuzzi Tubs and seperate showers. The walk in closet is also nice with the shoe care buffing and polishing items and free dry cleaning and laundry. Take 5-6 days of clothes for a 10 day cruise.

I love the look of the mesh shower caddy that Sash'a mom suggested - anybody any ides where you buy this in UK?

[flashdog_1]

Unless they upgrade me to a suite I'll be fine bringing on Qtips!

I haven't seen this anywhere else but I know they ship internationally.

Do the mini suites have upgraded amenities from the regular balcony rooms? Does anyone know what amenities are included? Leaving tomorrow HURRAH!!

If you are Elite, you should have upgraded bathroom amenities in a mini suite. If not, they will be the same as an inside starteoom usually.

Soap, Conditioner, shampoo and lotion. ;)

[Jennygirl]

and don't forget...the hair dryer is on the wall near the desk....it took me forever to find it until I asked somebody... (Don't get old) L0L

Have a great cruise

I'll extend my question to include, "what's in the main cabin"? Meaning is there a water pitcher and ice bucket or just ice? Thanks.

[champagne lover]

Sasha'smom - I've found one online here and ordered it, looks a little bigger than yours does though it hasn't arrived yet. It's funny how the little things can get you excited!

You will get the above-mentioned items if you book a full suite only.

 

Standard amenties will include bottles of Eucalyptus shampoo, hand lotion, bars of soap, aka as Lotus Spa products. They are very nice, also hair conditioner.

 

For those in mini-suites, you qualify for standard amenities only, unless you are Elite, and you will get upgraded amenities.

 

Your steward will put a bucket of ice in the fridge every day, and you don't get a water pitcher. You will have 4 glasses and cocktail napkins in your room, as well as water glasses in the bathroom.

 

Princess makes you buy your water, or you are free to drink it out of the tap.

A water pitcher is no longer needed or supplied in the cabins, as the tap water is a pure as bottle water. There will be an ice bucket refilled twice daily though. And if you need more ice, just pick up the phone and call room service if your room steward is off duty. ;)

I had shower gel in my mini-suite, so that's extra above and beyond regular rooms. Great for washing out my bathing suit.

I hope there's a bucket, otherwise that could be kind of a mess . . .

We were in a balcony cabin a few weeks ago and we did not get shower gel.

I'd like to know how it works out for you.

 

What I like about the shower caddy from Favors By Serendipity is it is travel size and designed especially for cruise ships. I use The Velcro straps On it and it fits perfectly attached from the shelf so I can still use the shelf. Great for the showers on Princess ships. They even have a picture showing it used in a Princess regular shower. By the way, we always get a balcony cabin and I've never gotten shower gel. Bring my own. The princess products fit in it for my husband, and I put my travel size products in it. My friend uses it too and she puts full size products and they fit on the shelf.
