Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Currently on Royal and got the upgraded bathroom amenities for being elite. This time was pretty lame - conditioner, nail file, shower cap, lip balm, cotton buds. That was it! No eye mask, linen spray, shampoo, or lotion. I asked my steward and was told that this was how it is now. Last cruise I got everything so when did it change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEWITHH Posted March 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2019 That's a bummer. No more Barrel chairs, no more Happy Hour and now they are even getting cheap on the Elite upgraded bathroom amenities....What's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishin' musician Posted March 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I think they took the little bottles of Elemis shampoo, shower gel and conditioner 2 or 3 years ago. About the time they installed the vats of industrial strength shampoo and gel in the showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted March 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2019 How many elites sail on each sailing; that may have to do with the cost factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennybenny Posted March 24, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I appreciate the nail file. Don’t really want anything else. Lotion would be nice but I bring my own, which sucks when flying into a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted March 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2019 No lotion? We have always gotten lotion. They put the shampoo/conditioner in those things in the shower that I always bump into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mina Posted March 24, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2019 We were on the ruby last January and noticed no more hair conditioner and the same missing items you did. Thank goodness I had brought my own conditioner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted March 24, 2019 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Don't need or want the eye mask, linen spray. A waste of money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kywildcatfanone Posted March 24, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yeah, I would assume if you asked for lotion, they would bring you more each day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted March 24, 2019 #21 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If I were you, I'd walk by the cabin stewards' supply room when it's open in the morning and glance in to see if there are the little bottles of lotion. If you don't see them, stop another cabin steward in the hallway sometime and ask him/her if they still have the body lotion. If they do, point it out to your cabin steward and get some. If he doesn't comply, speak with his/her supervisor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debi2g Posted March 24, 2019 #22 Share Posted March 24, 2019 We're just off the Ruby this morning. Our toiletries bag did include lotion, a loofah and an eye mask but no linen spray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 24, 2019 Author #24 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Maybe this is only on Royal? I sailed Star in August and got the full amenities in my bag. This time the bag is half full - my steward said that this is all that’s included now and gave me another bag. Thing is, I don’t want more of what I have - I like the linen spray, shampoo, lotion and eye mask. The things that weren’t in there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
