jgnova Posted April 23, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Gina: If you like your own shampoo, bring yours. If you don't like combo shampoo/conditioner, bring yours. We did. If you prefer specific varieties of soap, bring yours. (Theirs has a particular scent -- we didn't like it. Based on recommendations from this board, we brought our own.) Lotion -- unless they've changed brands, it was watery and I didn't like the scent. I prefer unscented and brought my own. If you have especially thick hair that will need drying after the handle of the wall mounted hair dryer gets too hot to use, bring your own. Preferably, bring a surge protector (multiplug type) and extension cords so you can use it somewhere other than the bathroom -- there's usually only one usable outlet in the room and that way, someone else can be using the bathroom while you're drying your hair. We found a very effective and tiny fold-up dryer at AAA -- most travel stores have a selection. (I have thin fine hair -- it wasn't about a handle heating up but more about something that was more adjustable in temp/air speed and about freeing up the bathroom.) I don't like using q-tips and cotton balls from an open container that's been out in the bathroom who knows how long -- if you feel that way, bring yours. As Rosie says, whatever you like to use, bring your own. Get small bottles from the camping store and transfer small amounts, enough for 10 nights, so you're not carrying large bottles. Check out the travel size items in the drugstore or Target or whatever's close to you. The robes were very nice -- but it was very hot weather when we went and we didn't use them. Oh well.

sgrissom Posted April 23, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2004 In my cabin on Galaxy last month the shampoo was a wall-mounted dispenser containing shampoo/conditioner combo. I can't stand that stuff so I brought my own. DH was happy to use it, though.

brigittetom Posted April 24, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2004 This is the first time I've ever seen anyone else complain about the lotion. It stinks. It also totally counteracts with your perfume. I've found the shampoo strips the color out of my hair although my husband also thought it was fine. Zenith from Jacksonville Feb. 13 05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatC Posted April 24, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2004 If you're in concierge class there are 2 hair dryers. The one under the counter is much better and has much more power. I didn't need mine this time on Summit and I don't plan on lugging it on the next cruise. The wall mounted ones are only good to dry the mirror off after a shower! We always bring our own toiletries. Hubby doesn't mind the shampoo and small bottles of lotion. Me, I can only use certain brands and they don't take up that much room.

JNLROSE Posted April 24, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2004 As many cruises as we've been on, I am always thankful I bring my own "everything"!!! I have my toiletries bag always at the ready & it just works for me! I like my own brand of everything that I use.

Guest Posted April 24, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Newt: Just got back from a trip to France, didn't believe you still have to pay for toilets even a urinal. I paid .41 Euros for the priviledge. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brigittetom Posted April 25, 2004 #14 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Dkj. Thanks for the memory. I still remember being totally humiliated by a toilet assist. because I didn't have any small bills or change and didn't know there was a charge. I got change and went back to pay and still got an attitude. Should have kept the money and bought a bratwurst. :t Zenith from Jacksonville Feb. 13 05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
