besberry Posted June 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm off on two Celebrity cruises in the next few months. My second and third on this line. I can't remember how good the toiletries they provide are. I know Royal Caribbean are rubbish and I bring my own and P&O are fine, so I don't. Should I bring my own or not?

eandj Posted June 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Depends what you like. I always bring my own shampoo and body lotion. Soaps offered are ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted June 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Since we don't know why you think some are rubbish and some aren't we have no way to predict whether you will like what you find on Celebrity (is it the scent, the variety, the harshness, what?) I think you should bring your own, at least that will be something you are comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper106 Posted June 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Probably the same as on RCL. On X,the brand is Gilchrist and Soames in the regular class cabins. I always bring my own. I wasn't impressed but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted June 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Even in CC, the toiletries aren't very good IMO. The shampoo was decent enough for DH, but there is no way I'd use it with my hair. The body lotion is super runny. Next time, we're bringing our own. Even Suave body lotion is a lot thicker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasy51 Posted June 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I always take my own shampoo and use the provided one for washing my clothes. I generally take my own body lotion too, but I found we were using so much after a bit of sunbathing that we needed to use the lotion provided. It was super runny, as mentioned earlier, but I enjoyed the fragrance and it worked. I was in a balcony cabin last time and was disappointed to only have soap. I prefer shower gel.

Hapytocruise Posted June 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2016 We had a concierge cabin last cruise, soap, body wash, shampoo smelled like sea weed, absolutely disgusting. Fortunately I always travel with my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted June 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hallo, the OP hasnt said if the reservation is for a suite or not, which makes a difference in the brand of toiletries provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besberry Posted June 15, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hallo, the OP hasnt said if the reservation is for a suite or not, which makes a difference in the brand of toiletries provided. On both cruises I'm in an outside cabin. Nothing fancy. Judging by the replies, I think I'll probably take my own stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brangwen Posted August 24, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I always take my own shampoo and use the provided one for washing my clothes. DH always thinks I'm crazy for this... glad I'm not the only one... LMAO :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep68 Posted December 26, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) I will be travelling in a regular balcony cabin. Is shower gel provided? From a post above it sounds like it only soap is provided. Edited December 26, 2016 by Deep68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Lover Posted December 26, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I like the shampoo and conditioner that are in Aqua. No objection to the soap or shower gel either. No strong smell and they work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie2 Posted December 27, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 27, 2016 We had shower gel in our Equinox balcony. All provided amenities are thin and stinky imho. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besberry Posted December 29, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The shower gel wasn't up to much. I did use the shampoo/conditioner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzybear1980 Posted December 29, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Just ask your stateroom attendant for the Bvlgari branded toiletries. They have no problem brining them if you ask nicely even if they're only supposed to be for suite guests. I always get them and love them so much I even take the unused ones home with me.
