Rare Kinkacruiser Posted December 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I've read lots of negative reports about the shower recess shampoo, so would like to know your honest opinion if you have used it and would continue to do so. Keen to hear from both ladies and gents. Also, would you risk trialing it rather than packing your own? Thanks in advance:).

SimonaD Posted December 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I Hate the shampoo because there is no conditioner and I can't untangle my hair. Bringing own conditioner solves it though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghCruiseGrrrl Posted December 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I use it, but I sport a super short pixie cut. I wouldn't want to use it every day for the rest of my life, but it does the job while I'm on the ship and it is one thing less to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justprettynpink Posted December 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2016 No problem using the shampoo but I also bring my own conditioner. I buy travel containers and fill with my usual conditioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyoftheseas Posted December 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I use it about half the time I shampoo my hair and use my good shampoo and conditioner the other half. It is not a good conditioner but, it works OK for me.(I am a female with shoulder length hair) I try to pack as light as I can with only one carry on so I need to conserve space as much as I possible.

GweninTX Posted December 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It is really awful for women's hair. My husband uses it, but he is not picky. If your hair is colored or processed in any way - bring your own. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooguy Posted December 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I bring my own bars of soap, but find that the shampoo does a good job for the little hair that I have. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted December 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2016 We both use it. No issue. But, we only do carry on so packing our own shampoo would be a waste of space and weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcruiser64 Posted December 5, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Works fine for me but just about any shampoo is good enough for me. I also don't like conditioner so that's a plus. (Man with full but normal length hair.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn R Posted December 5, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The dispenser shampoo combo leaves my fine hair a tangled mess! At least bring some conditioner with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrysko2000 Posted December 5, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I use it some of the time - I usually pack a small bottle or each and throw them away when we leave - more room in the luggage coming home. It isn't too bad but I think it depends on your hair type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted December 5, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I use it to wash out socks in the sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryincork Posted December 5, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I have no problem with the shampoo on ship but bring travel sized conditioner. I wouldn't buy the stuff myself but it is fine for a couple of weeks. Sent from my SM-N910F using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted December 5, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I use it to wash out socks in the sink. I use it to wash our bathing suites and my undies. :D LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser411 Posted December 5, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I don't bring my own, so yeah, I use it. No problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted December 5, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Actually I love it, my hair thrives, Mrs Gut hates it. But then we use different shampoo at home too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kinkacruiser Posted December 5, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Thanks for all your replies. I have packed a small tube of conditioner. I'll post back here and let you know after our cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMM34667 Posted December 5, 2016 #19 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I forgot my conditioner last time. Ended up paying $8 for a bottle in St. Marten as I could not handle another day. Even with only 2 sea days left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted December 5, 2016 #20 Share Posted December 5, 2016 After boarding and heading to the cabin I noticed the half used soap from the prior passengers sitting on top of the pump dispenser. The top/pump was off the bottle and there were pubic hairs hanging out of the dispenser bottle. We knew from trying this so called shampoo/conditioner in the past on other Princess cruises that it was worthless so we would not have used it anyway. Totally disgusting.

easyboy Posted December 5, 2016 #21 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I don't find any problem using them. My DW brings her own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoCruisers Posted December 5, 2016 #23 Share Posted December 5, 2016 My wife brings her own shampoo and conditioner. I bring my own shampoo. The shampoo in the dispenser dries out my hair and skin. For showers we also don’t use the dispenser shower soap. We use the small bars provided for the sink and the room steward brings us extras.

jennybenny Posted December 5, 2016 #25 Share Posted December 5, 2016 My husband and kids (boys) have used it in the past. It doesn't bother then for a 10-15 day cruise. Last cruise my husband took his own Shampoo. I think he just prefers his own too. I don't because I color my hair and use special shampoos and conditioners for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
