Hand Soap

[txmommy23]

I know this is a weird question but I can’t remember from last year what was provided on Allure. Is the soap provided at the sink in the cabin bathroom liquid hand soap or bar soap? I want to bring my own if it is a bar. Thanks

There is a small bar of soap. I always bring liquid hand soap for the sink and also a bar of soap for the shower. I find the soap they provide to be very drying.

The shower has body wash, I've used in place of soap for washing something out. I get the tubes now they provide for 340 pts. I dont use the body wash stuff in the shower but I used to use the bar soap. I have used bar soap at home and dont mind it. Shaving or whatever. But I also bring apricot scrub and my own stuff too.

I bring my own liquid hand wash soap. I dislike a bar that gets gooey.

We do the same , even in suites there is no liquid hand soap.

We bring our own soap and shampoo as the liquid body wash in the shower just doesn't work for either.

Thanks everyone. I definitely bring my own body wash, shampoos, etc. and will add hand soap to my list!

I bring my own liquid hand soap for the sink. But actually love the Malin & Goetz shampoo & conditioner they have in the suites...so far on every RCI ship we've sailed.

It is bar soap, but I am fine with that.  What I do bring is my own toiletries - shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hair gel.  I want my own stuff.  But I am fine with the bar soap for washing hands and shaving my legs.

I use the bar soap at the sink.  It's perfectly fine for washing your hands. 

 

Like some others, I use the body wash/shampoo combo in the shower dispenser to do laundry in the sink.  It washes nicely and rinses out thoroughly.

 

I use bar soap at home in the shower, and bring my own from home.

I bring supplies from home for us to use, but like many others use the shower body wash/shampoo to wash out something at the sink. Back in 2019 when on a cruise, someone told me to ask my stateroom attendant if they would like my toiletries at the end of the cruise. I have since then, and just left them. I also bring a few things that are brand new and are left for them.  This gives me some extra space at the end to roll and pack a few purchases to take home, and saves them a bit on replacing their personal supplies. FYI: before someone asks, this is NOT in place of a tip or even some extra cash left in the cabin upon exiting.

We also get the tubes, but I bring my own shampoo and conditioner anyway…..but I would ONLY use the liquid soap in the shower to wash my clothes…..that is if I run out of my detergent that I bring.

What are tubes and what are points, please?

Upgraded toiletries are at 340 pts. Good if I'm flying so I dont have to bring liquids. Tubes are shampoo conditioner and lotion, also used to be body wash but only got 3 last time, not 4.

Thank you for the info, firefly333!

We are over 400 points and it seems like every cabin steward has no idea when we ask for the tubes. Have others encountered this?
