Interior Stateroom -- Goody Baskets?

[TucsonDeb]

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!

Baskets are in all cabins. Last week we had razors, pepcid, crest and lotion.

 

Soap and shampoo dispensers are in the shower.

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.

On our two cruises we even got samples of novels to try. The last sailing we got a sample of suntan lotion also.

Wasnt the lotion Oil of Olay? I didnt even check :) I know it was in a square black box.

I almost forgot we did have a mini romance novella.

Actually I just looked and it was the self tanning lotion put out by Vaseline called Healthy Body Glow.

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.

Oh dear, what does that say about what my cabin stewart thought of me???? :eek: Leaving candy.....

 

That does it, this diet HAS to work before my next cruise so I can get tanning lotion or something....;)

Oh as someone above said we did get really nice razors, two mens and a womens, the expensive kind, not el cheapo kind. I loved those.

Me either!!! They didn't figure we could read...LOL:D

Yes, I received them on both my cruises. They weren't the whole novel though....just part of it so if you did decide to read it, you would have to buy the full version of the book. The one I have from my last cruise is called "Breathtaking Romantic Suspense". :p
