Toiletries on Journey

[aimee0715]

My husband and I are packing for our first cruise on Azamara.  We're doing the 10 day Cuba intensive itinerary on Journey.  We have an interior cabin.  Can someone who has recently cruised on Journey tell me what toiletries are provided in the cabin?  We are not picky enough about our products to take our own stuff when they are otherwise provided.  I mainly want to know if conditioner (separate conditioner and shampoo as opposed to the dreaded "conditioning shampoo") is provided and whether there will be bar soap or shower gel.  Thanks!

Shampoo, conditioner, two bars of soap (one for shower and one for basin) and body lotion. No shower gel.

There was what I would call shower gel or body wash available in October.

We had shower gel too, in September

They always have shower gel. I prefer my own but have used theirs . Bring your own hair products.

Yes - always been 'body wash'...... not as good as original 'Elemis' and then 'About Rose'.... but it's there and fine to use.

Plenty of shower gel, shampoo, soap, body lotion and conditioner and replaced every day on Quest last month.

Now on pursuit. If you have a room with a bath then bring your own bubble bath as the shower gel does not do the trick.

This must be new as I have not seen this on other ships.

You can never assume that any cruise or hotel will provide toiletries that you like. Just because you had something that you liked on a previous cruise, it may be different on the next cruise. I loved Elemis. I didn't like About Rose. It was too strongly scented.  I know that Azamara has switched again to something different. I am hoping that I like it. Just to be safe, I always bring my own toiletries. My favorites  from cruise ships are L'Occitane on Windstar and Bvlgari on Oceania.  On Oceania a few weeks ago, there was a new product...combo shower gel and shampoo previously there was a shower gel separate from a shampoo. The combo product worked well. I have also had some allergic reactions to some products. Gilchrist & Soames on Celebrity gives me hives. Nothing ever stays the same. You are safe if you bring your own toiletries.

We had L'Occitane on Windstar.  Stunk to high heaven.  Ship sent someone out in Greenland to buy something that didn't smell so awful.  The fussy, fidgety little fliptops are pretentious and ridiculous.

The Bvulgari they have on Celebrity is my favourite.  I also really like the Elemis Revitalise Me that they have in the changing room showers on Azamara.  Otherwise I can’t say I’m that fussed what I get really.

I quite like the flip tops, as they don't fall on the floor of the small shower space like the screw tops often do.

No problem with flip-tops in general, but the silly L'Occitane flip-top is so small it's difficult to manage with wet, slippery fingers in the shower.  And, of course, the stuff has an overpowering smell.  Personally, I prefer the top where you push one side down and the other side pops up to dispense  Easily done with one hand.

Yes, indeed they are even better!

Got off Journey this morning. We had shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and bar soap.

That's funny as we had L'Occitane, I think on Regent, and hubby loved it so much he buys the soaps for home now.  But we are on the Quest now and he can't stand the smell of their products.  I thought it was overkill that our butler sourced a couple sets of unscented toiletries for him when we got to our first port, but I guess others have had the same done.

Love Cusson's Imperial Leather bar soap.  I make a run to Boots every time I visit the UK.
