firefly333 Posted January 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yes, all cabins will have the same stuff (except spa cabins on specific ships) It will have body wash and shampoo in a dispenser in the shower and at least one bar of soap, some times they give us two bars. you will also get some samples but these vary, but usually include a razor.

amylee1178 Posted January 9, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My husband is fine using what's provided in the shower. I need to bring my own shampoo.. and lots of conditioner, as the sea air and the wind would make it impossible to get a brush through it if i used what was in the cabin. The "shower gel" is fine as a soap, but don't expect it to moisturize you if that's what you're after in a shower gel. The trial size things vary. Sometimes there's a razor, sometimes not. No shaving cream, though, so pack that. I have found teeny packets of toothpaste on each, though. The stewards will usually give you more if you ask. We've also found an antacid of some sort on each cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chowder_17 Posted January 9, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I was just wondering if I need to bring soap and shampoo or if it will already be in the rooms?? Thanx yes, they have both. Unless you're picky both will work just fine. As a woman, I used the shampoo, but brought my own conditioner. There is also a basket that has several sample items. Some things I remember in my room where shampoo, razors, Tylenol pm, anti-acid tablets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goofycruiser Posted January 9, 2011 #16 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have found that the shampoo and body wash are fine but you do need to bring your own conditioner. That salt air does nasty things to your hair without. I couldn't get a brush through it. I always bring plenty of body moisturizer too. Also no hairdryers in Fantasy class cabins so bring your own.

lemondog Posted January 9, 2011 #17 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I assume since they are in dispensers that they are refilled by the room steward as needed? Please let me know if I am correct/wrong. Also, does it lather up pretty well? I am weird about that... I have a LOT of hair and usually those tiny sample bottles you get in hotel rooms is not enough for an extended stay, nor does it lather very well, so I always bring my own.

Its like dove or some cheap brand like that. .. but yes if you manage to use who the whole dispenser they will refill it. We only had that happen once .. on RCL and had to tell the guy to refill it. Obviously he missed it when he was cleaning ..(and this was a expensive JS, so you would think a little extra care). I dont thnk you could use up the whole dispenser, its a lot of shampoo.

more cruises Posted January 9, 2011 #21 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I assume since they are in dispensers that they are refilled by the room steward as needed? Please let me know if I am correct/wrong. Also, does it lather up pretty well? I am weird about that... I couldn't get the shampoo to lather at all. Had to buy shampoo in our first port. John Heald in his blog said Carnival isn't real big on providing toiletries since people usually bring their own - yeah, no kidding, because what is supplied just doesn't do the job for a lot of people.

BOBFudge Posted January 9, 2011 #22 Share Posted January 9, 2011 :D LOL @ pics of hair from using shampoo in bathroom! My hair already looks like that, SO I MUST bring my own hair products! However, maybe if I used the ships, it may have a reversed effect and tame down my hair LOL :D:eek::D:D:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofycruiser Posted January 9, 2011 #23 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Good idea, Firefly! Putting stuff in smaller containers is a great idea. I need contact lens solution and they don't make it in smaller than 4oz. So when I fly, I need to check a bag. I never thought of putting it in a smaller bottle.

kbmeow Posted January 9, 2011 #24 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have really long curly hair that is color treated. I find the shampoo ok. Just bring your own conditioner and make it a good one. I have no problems with the shampoo, it isn't the best but It isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
