airlink diva Posted March 21, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2009 To all the old HAL heads,get ready to go back to old school times :D!! During my spring cleaning, I came across six bottles of the Royal Dutch lotion that HAL had in the cabins! My guess that it was from my 2005 Westerdam cruise. I was worried at first that it was bad,but it was stored in a cool dark place and it still smells great!! Don't get me wrong,I like the Elmis products,but loved the Royal Dutch. Click on below to view my photos! This is my first time uploading photos so bear with me! ENJOY!! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=18719370#post18719370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjcox9 Posted March 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Still have some of those containers myself, but the lotion is long gone and I use them only to refill for purse and travel since they are such a convenient size.......and can go through airport security without a hitch! Based on some of the HAL stuff I've seen listed on ebay, perhaps you should put them up for grabs there. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisequeen10 Posted March 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I have 2 bottles of the hand lotion, 1 bar of soap and couple bottles of shampoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted March 22, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am so envious - I love the Royal Dutch products. I wish we could choose between Royal Dutch and Elemis for our bath products. I've got 1 bottle of lotion that I keep tucked away and bring out when I'm feeling sorry for myself that we're not on a cruise. CowPrincess: if I'd known you were going to throw some away, I'd have sent you $ for postage - darn! Smooth Sailing! :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted March 22, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Okay, I'll go to the thrift store Monday and see if there's any left -- I can't stand the stuff, and just presumed that everyone felt the same. The thrift sells the stuff for $0.10 a bottle, I think..... will buy it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airlink diva Posted March 22, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Tjcoxa no ebay!! This is something to treasure and enjoy!!

Royal Dutch does the trick and as you say still has the nice aroma. I too have no problem with the Elemis products but Royal Dutch seemed so appropriate for a HAL ship.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 22, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I just started to use the last bottle of the Royal Dutch shampoo from a 2005 cruise. Really loved that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arzz Posted March 22, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I REALLY prefer the Royal Dutch in oh, so many ways. The Elemis products are nice but I react badly :eek: to the yellow soap and the body scrub. I, too, wish that the Royal Dutch was offered as an option.

Cruising-along Posted March 22, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I found one nearly full bottle of the lotion, it's from our first cruise in 2004. Still smells good, but I prefer the Elemis so I'm keeping this as a momento of our first great HAL cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usha Posted March 22, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I loved the Royal Dutch lotion, but also really like the Elemis lotion, too. The Elemis shower gel is the absolute shizzle!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted March 22, 2009 #14 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Dare I admit that I have an entire small box just brimming with Royal Dutch products? I haven't looked in it lately but I am sure I have several bars of several different types of soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. I even have a few of the Ginseng Lotion, I love the smell of it.

cmdchiefthom Posted March 23, 2009 #17 Share Posted March 23, 2009 As I sit here in my office, I'm thinking I must be old. I'm sitting here with a small bottle of HAL Ginseng Body Lotion on my desk from some long ago HAL cruise. Small narrow square bottle with a blue top, and the HAL logo on the front. Anyone remember those?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
