wallflower07 Posted December 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We'll be on the Noordam in a few days time in an interior room. Will they have shampoo and conditioner and will it get replenished throughout the trip? Or should we pack our own / extras? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted December 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2023 There will be Elmis shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in the bathroom. In addition, there will be a hand soap dispenser next to the sink. All will be replenished during your cruise if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted December 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Many people really like the Elemis products, but I find they dry my hair out terribly, so I bring my own shampoo and conditioner in travel size bottles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted December 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2023 You will also have Elemis hand lotion in a dispenser by the sink in the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradestock Posted December 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I second ger_77 I am picky about the hair conditioner, so choose to bring my own. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandiego1 Posted December 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) I don’t like the smell of the Elemis products so I bring my own toiletries. I also found that the body wash stings my skin. Your cabin stewards will refill the dispensers in your bathroom. If you are fussy about your products, then bring your own. Otherwise, you can just use what is supplied on the ship. Edited December 17, 2023 by sandiego1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlaMariner Posted December 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Her Majesty enjoys the Elemis shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided complimentary on the ship...... It's the scent of "glad to be back on a HAL ship". (It's a nice touch and it is not cheap if you want to buy a bottle to take home) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted December 17, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I bring soap - body and face, shampoo and conditioner. It is a small comfort of familiarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare albingirl Posted December 17, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I pack a bar of soap, since they don't always provide one anymore. I can't stand gels. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted December 17, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2023 DW even packs bar soap even when we are on the top luxury lines :). Just because a line has decent "brand name products" it does not mean it will suit all folks. If in doubt, bring your own favorites. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mightycruisequeen Posted December 17, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I'm okay with their shampoo, but I don't like their conditioner. It doesn't do a good detangling job, so I bring my own. LOVE the body wash and the lotion, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If this is your first time using their shower products You may want to bring some small bottles of conditioner and shampoo you are comfortable with, try their stuff first, if it works well for you use theirs. If not you have your own as a backup. My wife likes to bring her own , I use the products provided with no problem. It’s really a matter of personal preference. Hope you have a great cruise 🚢. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskacruiser Posted December 17, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Shampoo and conditioner are provided and replenished. I like the Elemis products - they are a luxury brand, scented, but not at all heavily or lingering. I have a sensitive scalp that is prone to severely drying out, but this product does not bother me at all so I think it is gentle. It does clean and wash out well with no waxy residue. I absolutely love the skin moisturizer provided. A hair dryer is also provided in the top desk drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaShrek Posted December 17, 2023 #16 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Why did HAL stop using bars of soap or making them available? I hate body wash but most bars of soap are for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what one pays for the "World" it seems like the cruise lines (including HAL) should have a pre-cruise menu where one can choose toiletries 🙂. DW simply prefers unscented bar soap (such as Dove) and we both strongly dislike the various bath gels. Shampoo seems like it is more a a ladies issue and I simply do as I am told :).

Hank Amazon locker. They have them all over the world. I have occasionally used them for long cruises when I want to travel carry on only. All of my cosmetics, ointments and salon products are waiting for me at the locker of my choosing. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted December 17, 2023 #23 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I would agree with others in that I really don't like the elemis shampoo/conditioner. But, I have longer blondish processed hair that needs lots of conditioning. DH would be fine with it but if your hair is used to more premium shampoo/conditioner products, I do suggest you bring your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We first heard of "Amazon Locker" here on these boards (it might have been one of your posts) and it sure makes a lot of sense for a long cruise. One terrific advantage of being active on CC is learning about these kind of ideas. Hank 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
