TucsonDeb Posted August 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I had read that there are often "goody baskets" provided in the rooms, with razors, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Are these provided to interior staterooms? And is it every time or is it the luck of the draw (dependent on ship, for example)? For all cruises or cruises of certain lengths (a week or more, for example)? I ask because I don't want to pack these items if they're going to be provided anyway ... but I'd really hate to count on them and then not be able to wash my hair -- or pay outrageous prices in the ship stores. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Baskets are in all cabins. Last week we had razors, pepcid, crest and lotion. Soap and shampoo dispensers are in the shower.

jwlnroe Posted August 30, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I believe they do in all staterooms but not sure how often they refill them. . i guess depends on your steward maybe or how busy the ship is.. I know they do have soap and shampoo dispensers in the actual showers.. someone can correct me if I am wrong but i heard that somewhere. hope that helped.

Sandi149 Posted August 30, 2007 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2007 On our two cruises we even got samples of novels to try. The last sailing we got a sample of suntan lotion also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip2cruise Posted August 30, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2007 And ours had Oil Of Olay too. :D Wasnt the lotion Oil of Olay? I didnt even check :) I know it was in a square black box. On our two cruises we even got samples of novels to try. I almost forgot we did have a mini romance novella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom&me_cruising Posted August 30, 2007 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think you got the idea -- the goodies you get is dependent on what samples the stewart have on hand to fill the basket. My experience is the basket is filled once at the start of the cruise and no refills during. I have gotten Emergen-C packets, sample toothpastes, travel size deodorant, disposable shavers, sample novels (you get only one or two chapters of the book to whet your appetite), travel size body lotion, sample size conditioner, etc. There is a soap dispenser and shampoo dispenser in the shower. Those are refilled as they get low. I definitely recommend bringing your own conditioner. Who knows if you would get a sample, and even if you do, you might not like it.
