Default Hair shampoo, conditioner & hand-held dryers

Traveling on the Coral Princess in February. When on Carnival, they provided large shower mounted bottles of shampoo, conditioner and soap. Does Princess provide the same large containers in shower or small bottles at the sink? How are the hand-held hair dryers?

The shampoo, conditioner and lotion are in small Lotus Spa bottles. The hair dryer is actually at the desk by the phone. Don't know how the power is though as I don't blow dry my hair. From what other posters have said, it's not as powerful as your hair dryer at home.

Only on the Royal, Tahitian/Ocean and Pacific supply them in the bathroom. All the rest are the hotel/motel type dryers on the wall by the desk.

Our DD used the hair dryer on The Golden Princess and was not impressed. She has fairly long hair and it took a VERY long time to dry.

This was just the question I was going to ask We frequently cruise on HAL where they have Elemis Shower Gel and Shampoo and Conditioner. Last weekend we did a cruise on NCL and they too have the Elemis products but to my surprise they did not have conditioner. I had not packed any conditioner because I had read where they had the same Elemis products as HAL and I like those products a lot. I would have been having some pretty bad hair days had the cruise been longer

My question is do they for sure have seperate hair conditioner? And if so how is it? Is it similiar to the Elemis products that HAL offers?

Thanks

Yes, princess does supply conditioner. Some like it, but for me, it doesn't work well at all (especially in hot/humid climates). But it works great for shaving your legs.

Default hair dryers

I do not have long hair -neck/shoulder length - and I found it took me about twice as long to dry my hair using the vanity dryer. I am glad I brought my own dryer with me

Just got off the STar and loved their shampoo and conditioner, they also have soap and shower gel. I have short hair and love the dryer. Lots of power. I never had a bad hair day on the 30 day cruise!!!!

Conditioner is not very good but the lotion is great. Dryer worked fine for me but I don't have long thick hair. Shampoo is OK but I use my own.
