WestLakeGirl Posted February 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Between yesterday and today there is a new brand of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap in staterooms. Don't know how this might or might not have affected Aqua and Suites. Further research to come. This is on Eclipse. Don't know if it is fleet wide.

CruisingGatorGirl Posted February 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2014 YAY!!!!!!! I know this sounds crazy, but that was my biggest complaint about X ships! On our first cruise on the Solstice we booked a CC cabin. Since we were flying to Europe I left my shampoo and conditioner here to save on flying weight. I did not know how poor the quality was, otherwise i would have bought shampoo/conditioner before boarding. Lesson learned- I now bring my own shampoo and conditioner. For 12 nights I had to fight nasty and painful knots while trying to brush my hair after showers. My hair is long, and fine. Thus, lots on knots and tangles! I hope the new products are better for those with long hair. I am anxious to hear a review :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, I LOVE that lip balm! Will they give us more than one? I didn't think to ask last year for an extra, but I first tried that balm when I got home and it was the best, truly. Love the fresh lemony scent I do like Gilchrest and Soames products : ) Edited February 23, 2014 by 4cats4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info… I was looking forward to the suites bvlgari products on our next cruise. Let us know if there is any change for Aquas and Suites, please. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted February 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Well I hope this is true and they have a product without citrus since I am allergic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted February 23, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2014 G & S products are nice. I have used them at nice hotels. There are better products. I miss the Denney products that Celebrity used in the 90s. That was excellent. I also miss the Elemis products on Azamara. Anything would be an improvement over that awful citrus junk that I just used on the Eclipse in January. That stuff is nasty. Many upscale lines are using L"Occitane products. Bulgari is just okay. To be safe, always bring your own shampoo and conditioner. A bad shampoo can ruin color treated hair. A quality conditioner is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieMacG Posted February 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The lemongrass products were actually made by Elemis :) Nice to have a change though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare C-Dragons Posted February 23, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I like Gilchrest and Soames too. Does anyone know if the Bulgari products in the suites include a shower gel? I know there is a bar soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyD3 Posted February 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I like Gilchrest and Soames too.Does anyone know if the Bulgari products in the suites include a shower gel? I know there is a bar soap. One of the bottles is labeled "shampoo / shower gel". It is a thicker liquid than the bottle labeled "shampoo".

I'm just about out now, hoping for more in 3 weeks. I have a hard time finding lip balm that really works for me. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Celebrity hasn't had the lip balms in aquaclass for a while now. We've done two aquaclass bookings since Dec. and they were not included among the bath amenities. Also gone are the facial mist and foot spray. Our attendant said they were part of the cutbacks.

JFontaine Posted February 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted February 23, 2014 love the large bvlgari soap bar. and the smell. oh the smell....:D I agree. I'm hooked too. It is my big luxury that I use at home. Ritz Carlton hotels discontinued using them last year. Really hope Celebrity doesn't switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harborgirl246 Posted February 23, 2014 #22 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Still had the lip balms in AQ on Reflection in late January. I did find the stateroom attendants on Celebrity and Princess very sparing with the soaps even when requested a new bar after 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingGatorGirl Posted February 23, 2014 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Why didn't you buy some shampoo and conditioner while in Europe :D This was my first X cruise and I didn't know how bad the quality was :D Since we were in concierge, it said upgraded bath amenities so I thought I was in the clear.... boy was I wrong haha! Now I bring my own :p I do love the L'Occitane products as someone else mentioned. Our hotel in Paris had them and got me hooked! I now buy several products from L'Occitane!

The Inn at Ole Miss in Oxford, MS used to have this in their rooms. Alas they haven't been there the last couple times I've stayed. I love that the moisturizer is very light and not greasy. And the shampoo smells just wonderful. I hope they have them in the suites as we are in a Celebrity Suite next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
