mets123 Posted July 10, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2019 It's a good idea. Turning waste into something useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishap Posted July 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I don't seem to recall using bar soap....don't they all have liquid soap dispensers in all the bathrooms? Or maybe just bar soap in the cabin bathroom sink? Either way, not sure I have a problem with it. Even so, it doesn't look like it will end up back on the cruise ship.

I don't recall seeing bar soap on board, either. Run bar soap under hot water for a minute and you have new soap, essentially.

coevan Posted July 10, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I love bar soap and it is always on the counter by the sink. I was never a fan of liquid soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted July 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2019 That was one of my complaints last month on the Magic. They ran out of liquid soap (per our steward) and gave us little bar soaps to use. I hate bar soap. We didn't pack soap because Carnival has always had the liquid soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were smaller bars, like hotel bars. Nobody in my family uses bar soap. Had I known they wouldn't of had regular soap I would have brought my own.

jnb3382 Posted July 10, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm very picky about my soap (which is one of the reasons I make my own), So I always take a bar of soap with me when I travel. Knowing it will be recycled if I leave it behind is a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquahound Posted July 10, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Good to see Carnival is taking such measures in accordance with their court order. Although, I have to wonder about this one because like many, I've never seen bar soap on board. Maybe its all the bar soap being brought on by guests, or maybe it's mostly from crew.

ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted July 10, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 10, 2019 In the shower. Soap up the wash cloth with a bar. Hate liquid soap for a shower. At the sink. great. No mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean1000 Posted July 10, 2019 #15 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I don't have a strong opinion either way for bar or liquid soap. As long as it gets me clean, that's what concerns me. I do, however, like the fact that Carnival is recycling soap. I always thought the left over soap in hotels and ships was such a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markmom18 Posted July 11, 2019 #24 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I have never liked bar soap. Ewww .... Without getting into gross details, the person who took the last shower must first "clean" the bar soap. YUK!!! And yes, these were & are family. I understand each Cabin gets a fresh bar, so they are NOT used by past guests. I bring my own toiletries. 🌸🌸 Bobbi Edited July 11, 2019 by Markmom18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
