Parsley Cruises Posted August 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Ok, so it's almost time for our usual countdown to cruise. Almost got everything sussed, but: 1. I can see that Viking provide shampoo etc and 'soap'. Do they provide shower gel, and if so is there plenty of it? 2. I can also see that we get a nice roomy shower - do they provide a non-slip mat to use inside the shower? Many thanks in advance for any answers - I think that should just about be all our daft questions done and dusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Cruises Posted August 13, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks for the info - very helpful. Some cruise lines do, some cruise lines don't. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchestrapal Posted August 13, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks for the info - very helpful. Some cruise lines do, some cruise lines don't. Many thanks I would think they have a mat if requested due to the age of the cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocopico Posted August 13, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2018 And, if you're not all that into gels, they will happily give you extra bars of soap to use in the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted August 13, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2018 the gel is in the standard hotel sized bottle, but we got new ones constantly, never felt like we were about to run out .... if you need more I'd just leave a note for the attendant and the shower floor was textured as I recall ... never felt slippery to me ... having a "bad hip" I'm conscious of that issue.

sparkles Posted August 13, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hopefully you can see the shower floor in this photo - I had to shrink it ALOT! As I recall, it didn’t have much texture but wasn’t slippery. This was on the Sea last year. Happy Cruising!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted August 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I would think they have a mat if requested due to the age of the cruisers. They also have grab bar in the shower. It also has a nice self too. It was the best shower of any cruise ship , from all of Celebrity ships I I have been on. And I love, love the heated floor and the night light in the bathroom.

deec Posted August 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2018 heated floor dries bathing suits much better/quicker than the clothes line in the shower!!! On the newest ships you can turn off/on and adjust floor temperature which is a great improvement! Dont want the floor on all the time in warmer climates!

CharTrav Posted August 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yes to shower gel but no to mat. Also - not to worry if you run out of the gel. The steward always makes sure there is another one ready for you when the one in the shower runs out. Which for us was about every 3 days or so. Basically the set of bathroom supplies on the shelf under the vanity is kept complete. Meaning everything - shower cap, cotton swabs, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Cruises Posted August 15, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The bathroom replenishment situation seems similar to what we used to get on our previous favourite cruise-line. Cutting down on the replenishment on that particular cruise-line was just one of the signs of things going downhill. It sounds ok on Viking though. Anyway, I think I've solved the situation with the shower tray situation - I'll just get a new pair of flip-flop sandals. Many thanks for all the information and advice.

suspaul Posted August 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Viking provides small bar hand type soap, liquid shower gel, shampoo, conditioner & body lotion, it’s their own brand called Freya and very nice. As others have said, all replenished as needed, no worries there. Enjoy Viking, the ships and experiences are wonderful. If you have an interest, there’s an afternoon English tea in the Wintergarten which is very nice. Happy travels and I’m sure you’ll love Viking.

After a load of loyalty to another cruise line we had a very bad experience with afternoon tea, so here's hoping that won't ever be repeated again.
