Question for the ladies

[Lady Arwen]

We always take our own bath products, hand wash and shampoo/conditioner.  Beekman 1802 is great stuff, but still not available fleet wide.  Their other stuff smells and feels like Dollar Store junk.  No thank you.

Men have hair requirements too!

Haha.   I started shaving my head 17 years ago.   My only problem is if I don’t shave at least once per week I go from Pitbull to Papa Smurf.

In a suite you will get tubes of lotion, shampoo, conditioner.  If any one of them is missing all you have to do is ask. Sometimes when I ask for something the steward will say he needs to ask his supervisor (a ploy) and I always say if they say no please set up an appt for me to speak with them. 100% yes 100% of the time i get what I ask for.  You can ask for bar soap too if you want it for hand soap. I like all their products. It is labeled as Princess Spa so not sure about the brands. Also in full suites there will be q-tips and bath salts which sometimes you need to ask for. There should be a small travel size sewing kit, an umbrella, slippers in your full suite. TWO water bottles will be replaced daily.

Major upgrade from the sea foam colored stuff from the past. 

This is what we had on the Ruby recently. It's the stuff with eucalyptus in it.

We bring our own shampoo and conditioner, and soap.  I like that they have put the Spa lotion in the dispenser in the bathrooms.

We either bring our own or buy Keratase in the salon when we board. They don’t carry the complete collection but they products are light years better than any complementary shampoo and conditioner in the staterooms.

Bring your own and if you like bar soap bring it also

Recently one of our members posted photos of the dispensers in their cabin.  There was mold growing at the bottom of each one.  The dispensers are not cleaned, just refilled.  Please bring your own products!

I travel so much for business that it really doesn't bother me to switch to something else for a 7 day cruise.   If it was longer, I might bring my own.

Lotion I definitely bring my own.  I have a pretty strong preference on what I like there.

Did you ask about Beekman products? Would love this to go to all Princess ships.

Currently on Enchanted, I asked the HGM about Beekman products and his answer was IT IS planned to go fleetwide, but not until current supplies of existing inventory is depleted, so it will not be immediate.

That's great news! Well, maybe, depending on how much supply they've purchased. LOL.

I hope that was sent to Princess.

I guess we need to encourage everyone to use the current products so the supply is used up quicker (I say this as someone who always takes my own products on a cruise. 😜)
