Eucalyptus bathroom amenities gone???

[Ronnieslady]

The eucalyptus scented bathroom amenities I hear are gone.:( When did they make the change????? :confused:

I just loved that scent. Not too strong, but soothing.

Anyone else agree????

Absolutely, we have always been fond of the shampoo and lotion.

They began replacing them several months ago although some ships may still have a limited supply of them. As the conditioning shampoo & body gel pump bottles have been added to showers it's only a squeeze tube of lotion that remains. Opinions vary...my wife didn't like the eucalyptus scented items but they were okay for me. The new products don't have much of a noticeable scent & just like the eucalyptus ones some like them & some do not.

This is what you get now along with a tube of hand/body lotion (the shampoo is a shampoo-conditioner combo and the other is shower gel):

There are three other threads that deal with this topic. Read through them and you'll get a very detailed view of this subject.

Yup, they're gone and have been replaced by pump bottles in the shower. Suite passengers get individual tubes instead of the pump bottles.....

The Grand still has the lotion. Bummer for me because I loved the new un

scented lotion on the Royal.

Diamond Princess still had them Jan 4th - 16th.:)

I love the lotion but recently on the Sun Princess they were like gold dust you almost had to sign a book to get a refill I am missing them soooooo much

[Ferndale Girl]

Got off the Island last week and the dispensers were in the shower but still had the lotion in the little bottles. I'm one who will miss the lotion when it disappears - I liked the scent.

They were on Caribbean Princess January 11-18.

I must admit I miss these as well; I loved the scent, and it always makes me think of cruising (fortunately, I still have a couple little bottles of hand lotion at home.) But I also know many people (like dchip) who prefer the new unscented lotions and the less scented body wash and shampoo/conditioner in the pump dispensers in the shower.

Very interesting. The eucalyptus products were gone when we sailed on the CB from the 18th-25th. And they were not on the Royal Princess when we sailed her last November, as well.

It may take awhile to phase the little bottles out.

We will misss the lotion too. :(

Why do I read these threads? I live close to an area where eucalyptus trees are cut down, or trimmed, or whatever they do and I absolutely hate the smell.

 

I should have confiscated all those little bottles and put them for sale on Ebay ;) We've always shoved them under the counter to get them out of the way. Cabin attendants kept bringing us more, even after we told them it was unneeded. We prefer our own, unscented products.

 

So…can you not purchase eucalyptus smelling products at, say, a place like Body Works, or Bed, Bath and Beyond, or the local CVS? You could take your own bottle of eucalyptus smelling soap and lotion. No big deal to take along a couple 2 - 3 oz. bottles.

 

Some people argue weight, but our toiletry kits weigh around 1 lb. fully packed.

I also noticed that on the Crown in December the bar soap was much thinner (at most half the size) of prior bars. I don't know if those are being phased out as well.

 

Our cabin stewardess, Beth, was delightful and kept us fully stocked.

[ggprincess2004]

I didn't just like the scent, which could always make me feel like I was on a cruise when I pulled out a partially used bottle to enjoy - I loved and still love the empty plastic bottles. They travel and pack like a dream. I load them with my own shampoo, body wash, etc., when we are traveling anywhere. I have a substantial supply of empty bottles, thank goodness, but my supply of partially used eucalyptus body wash is dwindling - oh no!

 

Change happens.:(

I am one of those that loves the eucalyptus lotion. The shampoo and conditioner, etc I can live without. I went in search of a similar product when Princess started to phase this stuff out. I have yet to find one that is as lightly scented as the one on Princess. The stuff from B&B Works is so strong and mixed with some other scents that just do not work for me. I noticed that the steward on our last cruise had a bag of bottles stashed away, but none of it was the lotion or I would have asked for some. If anyone out there finds a lotion that is comparable to the Princess Eucalyptus lotion, please share.

I will also miss the lotion. It says Princess cruise to me. I am still hoarding 4 bottles and one bar of soap from my Nov. 2012 cruise.

Yes, please please if anyone finds a lotion simular to that Princess Eucalyptus one let us know. Do or did they ever sell it in the Lotus Spa????
