We were a bit annoyed about the lack of bar soap the first day or two but quickly got used to the change. It's no big deal to get used to the change. Is the new stuff scented? That's the main reason I can't use most liquid soap products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus add in a little plain old brownian movement to the mix and the liquid gets slowly stirred. Additionally the pump pulls from the bottom. So every push of the pump results in flow from the top to the bottom within the container thus inducing more mixing.

While I have no problem using liquid soaps at a sink, I find it a lousy substitute for bar soap when in a shower. Hank 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Same here. I find it difficult to shower using hand soap vs bar soap. I'll continue to ask for bar soap although I'll bring my own bar soap & see how it goes.

Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted December 2, 2019 #136 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) just wanted to report that Regal Princess still had individual round soaps and small bottles of lotion available last week. That said, my kid broke out in hives after using the liquid body wash in the shower. I told him to use the small round soap and he stopped breaking out. I also brought my own shampoo in a travel bottle and a soap bar from our NCL cruise last year. It smelled great! I don't particularly like the smell or the effect of Princess Lotus Spa lotion, but since I don't want to drag a bottle of that from home, I use it anyway.

jennybenny Posted December 3, 2019 #141 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I've been bringing liquid hand soap for the bathroom sink and my Dove bar soap for years. This doesn't affect me in a negative way. If the bathroom has liquid hand soap it will save me that, but for our next cruise on the Royal I will bring all the regular stuff just in case.

The bag was missing the gel eye mask, a cutback. I love the linen spray, it works as a bathroom spray for you know what ! I miss the mints at the door of the dining room.

So I tweeted Princess enquiring about this as I have a sensitivity in my family to most liquid soaps (hands get red and raw) and received a reply that bar soap is being eliminated fleet wide and I should pack my own. Just passing the info along. We have just got off Grand Princess in SF Tuesday and we had bars of soap plus little bottles of hand lotion from the Spa next to the washbasin. In the shower there was liquid shower gel and a separate bottle of shampoo/conditioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richstowe Posted December 9, 2019 #150 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm fine with the elimination of soap but perhaps they could stock bar soap at customer service and put a notice in the Princess@Sea and the daily schedule . Or perhaps the stewards could keep some for those that specifically request it . The soaps could be held with the old barrel chairs . 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
