Allure - Shampoo / Conditioner / Bodywash / body lotion

Hi,

I am sorry if this question is keep on coming back...

We're cruising this Sunday and I was wondering if we need to bring our own Shampoo/Conditioner/Bodywash/Body lotion or any of these will be provided. We really want to travel light, but I see different answers.

Thank you!

Unless you are in a suite, I'd bring your own. You can only depend on two bars of soap and a combo shampoo/conditioner dispenser in the shower.

This is a huge negative on RCI ships. You really do need to bring your own as the cheap stuff provided is not nice. I always take a tub of Molton Brown to add a bit of luxury to the cruise.

You mean only two bars of soap between two people for the entire cruise?!

On my most recent cruise, in the cabin were small bottles of shampoo, lotion and body wash along with bar soap and a body wash dispenser in the shower. I was surprised to hear from others they did not have the bottles, just bar soap and the dispenser. Asked the cabin steward and was told I received them due to diamond level but if asked by any passenger, the small bottles would be provided.

They will replace the soap as needed, but initially they provide one for the shower and one for the sink.

You can most of the stuff you asked about in the room stewards cart that is left in the hallways while they clean the rooms.

Small soap to wash your hands. I suggest you bring your own shampoo,conditioner and soap it will make for a better shower.

Just like any hotel.

They provide stuff....but if you are particular, bring what suits you. There are small slivers of soap, and some goop in the shower...whether it's body wash ,or shampoo, or shower cleaner...no one knows! If you're in a suite, they will provide teeny bottles of stuff. I alway bring my own stuff...and remember that the water is really soft, so a teensy bit of shampoo will lather, and lather and lather...you don't need much!

DW is particular and I'm not so.

As has been mentioned, it depends on what class cabin you have.

In suites, you get a reasonable sized bar of soap (larger hotel size) for the tub/shower, and a collection of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion. Again, similar to reasonably high quality hotel. I don't remember the brand, but it was decent stuff.

I tell my wife, "I love the cruise ship. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap...all in one dispenser!" She thinks I'm nuts. She's probably right!

As a Diamond plus I used to get the upgraded bathroom amenities. Last cruise I didn’t get them - now only Diamond plus above 340 points wiki get the additional amenities. I asked if I could get them and answer was no.

I’m not picky, but I always bring conditioner and lotion :)

On Anthem in October we had shampoo/ conditioner combo in a dispenser in the shower and were given small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion as well as small hotel like bar soaps which were all replenished as needed without prompting. We were in a balcony cabin and have gold status. Maybe all ships do it differently but I doubt it.

Interesting, because the amenities perk has been set at 340 points for years, even before the change from credits to points.

The answer is probably cabin steward dependent.

Never checked. We’re happy to get the amenities. Do not know if it all cruises before + but at least all Quantum Class and the Legend Farewell cruse.

When I asked at my last cruise I got the impression that it was a recent change.

Have passed the 300 mark so only few cruises before 340!

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply to all of you who kindly responded to my question.

I did see your replies before my cruise, so I went on and got some shampoo and lotion myself.

In Allure, I saw "Shampoo" dispenser, my DH used it, but I didn't. So I don't know the quality of it. (as my DH doesn't have any opinion on this as he doesn't really care).

We just used the soap provided, which was okay.

I am so glad I got lotion, because I found the water quite hard and dry.

Thank you so much for your help!
