Shampoo & Hair Dryer/Ours or the Ship's?

[TheDivineMrsM]

Do we bother to take our own shampoo and hair conditioner, or just use what's provided on the ship?

 

What about a hair dryer? Take one or use the ship one?

What cruise line are you referring to? Best to ask on the board for that cruise line, but most cruise lines I am familiar with provide shampoo and other toiletries as well as blow dryers. Some think the on board blow dryers are not strong enough for thick hair.

We are sailing on Royal Caribbean, and thanks for the tip, I will ask on that forum for advice.

If you are not particular use what is provided on RCI. But if you require something special then bring your own shampoo. There will be a hair dryer in your cabin.

I always bring my own EVERYTHING for my hair....what is provided is probably ok for men, but for women who care what their hair looks like, bring what works for you! The hairdryer does NOT blow very hard, so I bring mine, as well!

We don't care for the Elemis products on HAL -- so we bring our own. DH had a bad reaction to it.

Be sure to ask the brand name on the RCI board.

Royal Caribbean provides a small bar of soap at the sink and a dispenser in the shower with shampoo/conditioner in it. This will be in the standard cabins. If you are in a suite then you get little bottles. Anyway I bring my own shampoo and conditioner but this is a personal preference. There are hair dryers in the rooms and although many women say they are weak I have always used them and found them just fine for drying my hair.

Some people have said some RCCL Ships do not have the dispensers. Vision of the Seas is one. What ship are you cruising on?

That's good to know. I will be on Vision in Oct.

Good thing I told you. The Vision some people said is cutting corners... :confused:

My hair has color on it so I bring the shampoo that protects the color. My daughter gets the Brazilian Blowout so she brings sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. I am fine with the ships hair dryer. She brings her own. I have a Grandson who cruises. He's in college. He says he's fine with the goop in the dispenser..lol.

Wherever I go I always bring my own shampoo, conditioner and hair dryer.
