Shampoo in cabins?

[fun4family]

When we were on the Carnival ship, there was a shampoo/body wash dispenser in our shower. Does the Navigator of the Seas have complimentary toiletries? We have a family of 5 and I'm trying to narrow our suitcase packing as much as possible.

All the RC ships we've been on recently only had the shampoo dispenser in the shower and soap bars as toiletries.

Honestly, the quality of the shampoo is not that good. Bring your own. I realize that a travel size bottle might not be enough for a family of 5, but you could go to Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Target, etc and find smaller bottles to transfer enough shampoo, etc for you guys for the week instead of bringing a full size bottle of shampoo. I've seen bottles at Target and Wal-Mart that are about the size of a coke can that would definitely hold plenty of shampoo or conditioner or body wash.

You will need less shampoo than you think! The water is VERY soft and a small dab of shampoo will lather for days!!!!

The quality of the toiletries is not great, so if you care about your hair, bring what you like!

Thanks all, I tend to be an overpacker, so I try to narrow down as much as possible, but I still always end up with everything but the kitchen sink!

Go to a Walmart/Target/Drugstore and get those small plastic containers and fill them with your favorite shampoo/conditioner/etc. You'll be surprised how long these small containers last. Also, try putting them in a tupperware container to protect them from leaking. I started using tupperware for liquid/gel products and found it to be helpful when traveling. No more opening suitcase to find plastic bags containing these products all messy and gooey.
