Shampoo & conditioner and arrival times

[colesc15]

It's been a year, so making sure things haven't changed. Going on Vision in a few weeks out of San Juan. Do they still have shampoo and conditioner in the cabins? Also, even though you select a check in time, do they still not enforce it and can show up earlier? Thanks.

And recent reports by cruisers say it's not very good.  Might want to bring some hotel mini bottles.

Non suites have the all in one goop suitable for washing out your bathing suit and not much else.

Nothing wrong with the goop in the shower.....I use it all the time with no issues

Bring your own shampoo and conditioner, PLEASE!

 

The only thing that the dispenser stuff is good for is washing laundry in the sink.  And it's GOOD for that.

That mess dries my hair and skin out SO bad.  It's like washing with dish detergent (might be what it is).

The issue I have is that I hit the dispenser with my elbow, knock it on the floor, it falls apart, and all (or most of) the "goop" drains out.  😲

 

And the alternative is the bar of soap falling through the slots in the holder.  Can't win.

I'm assuming junior suites have upgraded stuff?? And what about arriving earlier than the scheduled time?

As far as I know, scheduled arrival times are not enforced at any North American port.

The first thing I do when I am unpacking my toiletries is fold a facecloth and put it in the soap dish before I put the soap in. No more soap slipping through the slots!

 

And I agree with all the comments about bringing your own shampoo and conditioner.  I cannot use the stuff in the dispenser - it dries out my skin/scalp and also make my head breakout even time.  Hubby uses it though (he is also almost bald and does not have sensitive skin).

I will be Diamond for the first time in March.  Will I get upgraded toiletries?

No.

They do, but would never use it.  I always bring my own toiletries and blow dryer

San Juan you can arrive any time but if you get there too early you will be waiting until they open the ship for boarding, and there is very little seating  - mostly stand in line and wait after you have checked in. If you arrive noon or later after the initial rush you can check in and board quickly with no wait.

Anyone know what type of shampoo/conditioner they offer in Junior Suites?

Billiance

Gilchrist & Soames in Suites of all ship types except for Oasis and Quantum Class.

 

On Oasis and Quantum Class the product's are from L'Ocitane.

 

Quite ridiculous, they should really stramline and offer the L'Ocitane products across the fleet in Suites.
