34TigerLily Posted December 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I was on the Caribbean Princess last week and for the first time the elite toiletry bag included a tube of conditioner. Is this now a standard item, perhaps in response to all of the negative comments about the shampoo/conditioner combo now in the showers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted December 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We received one on our Oct. 22 Royal cruise. (Though I bring my own shampoo and conditioner- just saying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted December 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We've been Elite for 5 cruises and the bag has had a slightly different inventory every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted December 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We've been Elite for 5 cruises and the bag has had a slightly different inventory every time. I agree. They can keep the eye mask and the scrubby sponge. Though I do love the Chapstick! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted December 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Though I do love the Chapstick! Full size package. 3mm product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigenna Posted December 27, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Our Star Princess cruise to Hawaii in April had conditioner. Don't laugh, but I used it a couple of times as lotion (tube looked the same) before I realized it felt different and took a closer look, lol!

elliair Posted December 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I agree. They can keep the eye mask and the scrubby sponge. Though I do love the Chapstick! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The chapstick is wonderful! I asked my room steward for an extra tube of it as I kept leaving it in my pants or forgetting to take it with me. I was beginning to get a cold sore and I applied it right away and it was gone the next day. I gave my daughter a spare toiletry bag that we received and she loves the chapstick too. I gave her an extra one - our room steward gave me 3 tubes of it. I gave him a nice tip in exchange.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted December 27, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 27, 2016 What you're given in the Elite Package seems to vary. :rolleyes: Agree with others -- Great Chap Stick! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone get the Lotus Spa Linen Mist? It doesn't have a list of ingredients or what to do with it. All it says is 'soothing linen mist developed by WESSCO exclusively for Princess Cruises'. Do you spray it on the sheets before you get in bed? Sounds like it would be a bit damp :rolleyes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I find my gold bag from my cruise-was in a Suite so found the lovely bag ready in the bathroom, I'll check exactly what I got. Booked next cruise and have started costing a 4 night Auckland to Sydney so I have a Savings Target for the cruise before I hit the next Big O birthday.

I use it as a bathroom deodorizer ..... seems pretty effective for that purpose. Since it's such a nice tiny bottle, I generally take what's left home to use for the same purpose when I travel other than cruising. Just checked the goodies bag from my recent Pacific Princess TA and found a tube of the usual Lotus Spa lotion in it. I have never found conditioner in any of my past goodies bags, at least so far.

crochetcruise Posted December 27, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 27, 2016 In response to OCruiser, I've found the gold net bag I received in the Window Suite when I sailed in November. It contained: ! Sisal Mitt 1 Gel eye Mask 1 Emery Board 1 Small Spray bottle of Linen Mist 1 tube of Conditioner 1 Tube of Shower Gel. I also received tubes of Conditioner and Shower Gel in the Shower and there was a nice circular cake of soap at the hand basin. From reading an earlier thread mentioning the Linen Mist, I understand you're supposed to spray your pillow and sheets lightly, let in dry then settle in for a good sleep. HTH. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraP Posted December 27, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 27, 2016 What you're given in the Elite Package seems to vary. :rolleyes:Agree with others -- Great Chap Stick! :) We also love the Sunscreen Lip Balm. I have been buying it for years here: http://www.tackledirect.com/smartshield-lip-balm.html You can also get it at Amazon, but it's double the cost.

shredie Posted December 27, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2016 We've been Elite for 5 cruises and the bag has had a slightly different inventory every time. And I NEVER have gotten shampoo. The Linen mist spray is great. I use it at home on the pillows. It reminds me of cruising. :) It is a bit damp at first, but it dries quickly. I usually just give the bag away to one of my daughters when I cruise with them. (Come to think of it, they are getting close to Elite themselves and won't need my little bag.) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted December 27, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 27, 2016 We did not get any conditioner earlier this month on the CB. We had the other items CrochetCruise mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendy Posted December 28, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Last cruise we received only one toiletry bag. Asked steward for another, mother and daughter cruising, both elite. No could not be done, daughter asked Captains circle host when passing, no could not be done. She then dug her heels in, little thing is now a biggie. She eventually got her bag, she is quite persistent, but seriously why not just supply the little gift bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted December 28, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I was on the Caribbean Princess last week and for the first time the elite toiletry bag included a tube of conditioner. Is this now a standard item, perhaps in response to all of the negative comments about the shampoo/conditioner combo now in the showers? Recently on Island Princess. The Shampoo in shower is like laundry detergent, horrible. Whatever happened to the little green bottles of shampoos, conditioner, shower gel we used to get as Elites? They were great, decent quality anyway. God only knows what was in the bag of toileteries they gave us, did not open it but the 'boss said there was not much, no decent shampoo anyway. Yes, I know, the bean counters have been counting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted December 28, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Last cruise we received only one toiletry bag. Asked steward for another, mother and daughter cruising, both elite. No could not be done. Only one bag per cabin, even if more than one elite. Just like the mini-bar setup for being elite. Only one per cabin.

crochetcruise Posted December 28, 2016 #19 Share Posted December 28, 2016 NSWP, I was lucky enough to stay at a hotel in Adelaide before my cruise, where the guest received small tubes of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and shower gel, a shower cap and a small cake of soap for the hand basin. I departed with them nestling in my sponge bag, ever so convenient to "freshen up" quickly when travelling. Over the years, I've collected 4 different companies products, so I have a good variety to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted December 28, 2016 #20 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Only one bag per cabin, even if more than one elite. . I always ask and get a second one. The cabin stewart always says he has to ask his supervisor if he can give another one and I always state if his supervisor says no I WANT TO SPEAK DIRECTLY with him. I always get the second bag so each one of us has our own toiletries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shredie Posted December 28, 2016 #24 Share Posted December 28, 2016 What do non-elites get? Anything else besides what's in the shower dispensers? Sometimes a tube of lotion. And little bars of soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
