If I can't cruise I might as well smell like I'm on one

[excitedofharpenden]

I do love the Bvlgari product they have on Celebrity and will try and come back with one or two of the small bottles stashed in my luggage to remind me of the trip.

 

I'm on my last shower gel/shampoo bottle that I use when I'm fed up (like now) and decided to heck with it. I'll buy my own bigger bottle.  So I found it on Amazon. Big brother meets little brother. Not cheap. 200ml is £31 (about $39), but a lot cheaper than a cruise!

Too funny. 😄 I'm down to my last bottle of Bvlgari.  I bring mine back from Oceania cruises.  I don't remember seeing them on the Edge last March.  I'm going to do what you did and go to Amazon to buy some.

Love it!  We usually cruise the Caribbean so every time I put on my suntan lotion each morning it reminds me of cruising.  Every time I hear a song on the radio (which is regularly) which is one of the Topper songs I sigh.  Sure hope this situation gets resolved soon and we can once again enjoy the real thing!

Phil, it seems we’re in the “same boat”. 😉

Down to our last 2 bottles of shower gel and lotion.

Thanks for the tip about Amazon.

Phil,

 

I still have some body lotion...I am contemplating using it or keeping it to sniff!

We had a breakfast  and coffee that reminded us of a cruise this morning--waffles for hubby and caramel macchiato (k-cup version) for me. We can pretend and wish...

Sherry, make sure you order Au the Blanc as they do a few "flavours" and I'm not familiar with them. Here's a link, but of course it's the UK site.

Thanks. ❤️
I noticed the “Au The Vert” and  “Au The Noir” on the US site. They seem to have more of those for sale than the “Au The Blanc”!

Great idea!  I need to break out my stash.  Especially since they're no longer providing it on Celebrity.

So what is it now?  Is it ok?  Don't leave the Bvlgari in the bottle too long. Live for today!

did you make this at home?

 

I would love to go to a restaurant one day, let alone a cruise!

Yes. At home. Our restaurants are open, but we do not go because the virus has surged since things opened up.

Sound like a yummy breakfast!

[Covepointcruiser]

Surprised that restaurants are open in Texas!    You have a big COVID 19 increase in infections.   We are much more conservative in openings in our county in Maryland but luckily our infection rate has dropped to zero.   We have been wearing masks for the last 100 days with no signs of stopping but at least we have contained the virus.

We left the Solstice on March 20th when Celebrity ceased normal passenger operations and the Solstice was starting their "float" until passenger operations resumed.  We certainly had Bvlgari toiletries in our stateroom.  

 

But back to the more important issues at hand.  I am down to a single Celebrity provided bottle of Bvlgari conditioner.  The shower gel, shampoo and hand lotion are long gone in this house.

[Luckynana]

I'm thankful to still have a few of the hand lotions...and when I use it, I do take a sniff....brings me right back to memories of cruises past!!!!

Unfortunately Bvlgari is no longer available in most of the Suites on the E class ships, not sure about the higher suites.

Phil,

Sorry we got off of your topic.  I just couldn't help myself talking about waffles.  🙃

I can't remember the name offhand, but the Bvlgari was definitely gone when I was on Equinox in September.  I think everyone gets the same stuff now.  Interesting, since the suite prices have headed into the stratosphere.  One would think that would include enhanced toiletries.

That is a real shame, but looking at the price I paid for 200ml I'm not surprised. Perhaps Celebrity managed a special deal with Bvlgari and that ended.  Even happier I got my own now.

New stuff is Bigelow...Large refillable bottle in all rooms including top suites. We were not impressed, shower gel smelled and felt exactly the same as the shampoo, conditioner not bad.

 

Worse problem is the bottles (at least in our suite) were not fixed to a wall so then needed to be held and pumped, not easy with slippery hands...Also as they are reused it was another thing for us to sanitize as we entered the room.

 

Whilst we fully support the need to reduce plastic waste we were not impressed with this stuff and will be taking our own products next cruise...loved the Bvlgari!

[groryjm]

Hopefully in line with the new rules proposed by the EU individual bottles may be back. 🤞for Bvlgari
