Pump Hand Soap In Cabin?

[cruisetonowhere10]

I don’t enjoy messy gooey bar of hand soap and pack a pump soap of some kind for travel if needed.  Will I need one or do that have a pump on Edge?  I saw a walkthrough video on YouTube and there was a pump but I don’t want to assume as it could be lotion.

In the shower, there is a pump of body wash (shower gel).   You also get a bar of soap as well.

You will need to bring your own . None of the Celebrity ships have liquid hand soap for the cabin bathrooms at the lavatory sink. It's always bar soap. I suppose you could ask your attendant for an extra bottle of body wash as a substitute,but you're not assured they would be able to accommodate you.

We took the body wash pump out of the shower and left it on the sink for handwashing during the day. Popped it back in the shower when needed. We’re not great fans of bars of soap.

Yes the bottle you see on the lavatory is for body lotion.

Thank you.  I will pack a small one when we go on our cruise.

Yes, best to take your own. If taking only carry on, find a Dollar Tree near port to get Soft soap and hand sanitizer plus any other toiletries you didn’t want to drag on your bag.

 I do the same  - only  $1.00 at Walmart - even has an ocean scene on bottle!

I don’t think dollar tree is worldwide. Since we don’t know where the OP is Cruising, this advice may not be worthwhile.

No worries…east coast US…dollar stores abound in shocking numbers.

[CardowMD]

Every town and city around the world has a market and you can usually secure these items…of course more than a $, but have purchased in Italy, France, Greece, UK, plan to purchase in Istanbul for upcoming cruise.
 

if only traveling with carryon, decant some into 100ml travel size squirt bottle that passes through security. I usually have this in addition, in case my check thru delayed.

In many, if not all of the state rooms, those bottles are firmly attached to the wall. Ask your state room attendant for a second bottle of body wash to leave at the sink.

 On the Celebrity ships that have a shower gel pump bottle locked up in the shower I just ask the Stateroom attendant for a separate one by the sink. I don’t care for the slimy bar soap either.

i am on Eclipse now and the one in the shower is Not in a cage so I just moved it out by the sink.

Another option is to bring a small plastic soap holder - the kind that drains the liquid so the bar soaps don't get all "ooey and gooey"

We pick up foaming hand soap at Publix before we board

We were in a sunset sky suite on Edge two weeks ago. The three bottles in the shower/bath recess were sitting in a plastic tray and not attached to the wall.

I can understand your feelings on bar soap, but...

 

I liked the bar soap so much that I purchased some when I got home.

Wife likes pump hand soap so I pack it whenever we travel in hotels or cruise suites etc .never saw any ship offer that not even in penthouse.

I’ve packed Soft Soap pump hand soap for years. Handy and less mess for the cabin steward.

 

Just ordered the Extra Laurel soap from Amazon. Sounds lovely.

[raudacruise]

Soap drama!  Now I have a mystery.  The package of soap was delivered in the afternoon and was on the front porch a couple hours before I decided to go fetch.  Heard some scrabbling noises in the meantime but didn't think much of it.  (No, I don’t have a door camera.)

 

The package was torn open and the box had a round puncture from a tooth.  The box was OK otherwise. No marks on the soap.  Apparently some varmint thought the soap smells yummy.  (It has a nice herbal scent.  I really like it.)  Wonder what the critter was… Glad I didn’t open the door to check out the noise.

Glad you like the fragrance. Unfortunately I got reprimanded here on Cruise Critic for posting a link to that product. I've been a member here for 23 years and while I know you can't advertise travel agents or other cruise related businesses when did it become a violation of the forum rules to post links for non-cruise related products?

I guess there's no accounting for taste. I always take a bar of soap with me as I've encountered times (not necessarily sailing Celebrity) where bar soap was not offered. I can't imagine taking a shower without bar soap .. it would take twice as long. Each to his or her own.

@kwokpotand @raudacruise I am waiting for Amazon to deliver today! Cannot wait to try it’s healing properties on some weird skin irritation I have developed since COVID…thank you for the recommendation but luckily I don’t have to worry about wild animals in my building lobby😊

MSC has pump hand soap built right into the sink.
