It's a good idea. Turning waste into something useful.

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.

I love bar soap and it is always on the counter by the sink. I was never a fan of liquid soap.

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.

I'm just the opposite. I bring a bar of soap from home for every cruise.

 

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.

I remember when bar soap was regular soap.😀

We always bring our own soap as we use soap with more natural ingredients that aren't so harsh on the skin. Just one of our "things"

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.

Soap on the Celebrity ships. Great if you are working on the engines and get all greasy.

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.

In the shower. Soap up the wash cloth with a bar. Hate liquid soap for a shower. At the sink. great. No mess.

I have never not seen soap on the counter, usually in a soap tray. I also hate liquid soap, never use it. Also, never been to a hotel or resort that do not have soap and body wash.

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.

Its always by the sink and comes with instructions... in case you don’t already know how to use soap.

just like the tons of waste at restaurants, it's the cost of doing business.

I knew someone would have a picture.

Recycling for communities in need. Not for cruise ships.

There is bar soap in the bathroom....

The second announcement along this line, more to follow, let's see if the dark side comments.....

[BlerkOne]

If they ever recycle soup, wake me up.

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.
