sammybonny Posted July 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Can anyone tell me if shower gel is provided and if it is ok or should I bring my own with me. I have cruised with Princess before but I cant remember. Thanks. Sent from my SM-T580 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler Lady Posted July 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yes, Princess provides a bodywash and shampoo dispensers in the shower. The bodywash is fine but I prefer to bring my own shampoo and conditioner... Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamomo Posted July 8, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have used both the shampoo/conditioner and the body wash that is provided in the shower, and IMO, both are okay. However I prefer my own brand of hair care products because I know how my hair handles with them, so I choose to bring some with me on every cruise.

stoneharborlady Posted July 8, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I would prefer a personal bar of soap rather than that stuff in the container in the shower, and would ask my steward for an extra bar of soap to use instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted July 8, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I think I know why they have them secured to the wall. If they didn't people would be using the soap in the washing machines. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammybonny Posted July 8, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I always take my own shampoo/conditioner and wish I could take my own water as my hair doesnt like the water on the ship![emoji6] Sent from my SM-T580 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeMark Posted July 8, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 8, 2018 it's not great... and it takes about a million pushes on the pump to get a little puddle in your palm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted July 8, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I absolutely loathe the stuff they provide. I use the small Princess soap they provide (your steward can give you an extra) and we bring our own shampoo. The stuff Princess has is terrible. Obviously others will have varying opinions.

Gmucha Posted July 8, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Just got back from Ruby. Was contemplating not bringing shampoo and shower gel. I'm glad I brought my own. Both soaps provide very lather and did not make me feel clean. I would bring your own supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB123 Posted July 9, 2018 #15 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Last time we were in a mini, we were given small bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The balcony rooms had the dispensers. Is this no longer true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcivilady Posted July 9, 2018 #16 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I thought the shower gel was just fine used with a pouf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so the money I think. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoMom!! Posted July 13, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I don't know the brand, but a friend on the Island in April thought it was so bad that she encouraged me to bring my own on our June cruise on the Coral. Even with my own shampoo, I thought my hair felt like coated straw. I wonder if it's the water treatment. I LOVED the water pressure though in my teeny tiny shower!

argenta01 Posted July 13, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Their soap works OK on my underwear & socks. ;)It's also good to use in the shower to keep clean.:D I use the shower gel to wash stuff in the sink too! That's about all it is good for. Some dispensers look like they have been watered down. They are barely blue. :confused: I always bring my own shampoo, conditioner and a bar of soap. I use the little ship provided bar to wash hands at the sink. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with my own shampoo, I thought my hair felt like coated straw. I wonder if it's the water treatment. I LOVED the water pressure though in my teeny tiny shower! Yes I agree. I use my own shampoo and my hair is still terrible but where we live in the north of England we are lucky our water is great and is very soft.

NeptuneSeas Posted July 14, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I always bring my own shampoo, conditioner and soap. Wash my socks with the gel! Desalinated water is tough on hair ; I always bring a small size hair salon top quality leave in conditioner product to use as required, it tames my hair and gives shine, body etc. I find this really helps.
