MSRussell Posted August 23, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2012 On the Liberty last month, there were packets in the bathroom of various products, like shampoo, conditioner, nose strips, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herfnerd Posted August 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2012 On the Elation this past may we got foil packs of shampoo and Breathe Right strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieworkman Posted August 23, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2012 On my Dream cruise last August, I had 4 packets of toothpaste and nothing else!! Then I noticed the expiration date. They were just trying to get rid of them! :D Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlktx49 Posted August 23, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2012 On the Magic in February we had a few toothpaste single samples and some BreatheRight strips - pretty sad compared to what you used to get! That used to be a fun surprise to see what you had in your dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMM Posted August 23, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2012 On The Pride a few weeks ago we had the bar soap for the sink, 2 sample packs of Gardner shampoo/conditioner, and 4 packs of sample crest toothpaste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artb3 Posted August 23, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We were on the Magic in June. This what we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy4Koko Posted August 23, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted August 23, 2012 thanks. My September cruise had plenty of 'goodies'... but a LOT can change in just a few months. Wondering what cruisers over the past couple of WEEKS have noticed. Cruising again in 43 days..wondering what to expect. Always love the breathe rights and the toothpaste, and I've learned NOT to count on what is in the baskets... but its fun to see what is currently possible! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieworkman Posted August 23, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I like that high class soap in the picture! SOAP :) Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted August 23, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We were on the Magic in June. This what we had. That looks exactly like what we had on Glory two weeks ago. Liked the shampoo - There were about four packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELTICGIRLCRUISER Posted August 23, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 23, 2012 What no razors or the sweet pea body lotion? Saying that I found a load when I pulled out my cruise "bag" from last trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyBeef Posted August 23, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 23, 2012 On the Pride last week, in addition to the "SOAP" (uggh that stuff is horrible!:mad:), we had one packet of the Fructis shampoo and conditioner sample as shown in PP's picture, and 2 travle-size tubes of toothpaste - I can't remember which brand. That was it. The dish looked very empty. I wasn't even thinking that there wouldn't be some kind of lotion. There's always been some kind of lotion. So I didn't bring enough. I won't make that mistake again.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbum53 Posted August 24, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Now I know why people opt to arrive a day (or two) ahead of time for their cruise. It's so they can load up on the little bottles of shampoo, hand lotion, soap, and other little goodies from their hotel room, since the cruise ships don't provide much anymore. Maybe if the head honchos at Carnival would make friends with the folks at Proctor & Gamble ( or Gillette or whomever), there would be better samples (like there used to be) in the cabin bathrooms.

shipty2 Posted August 24, 2012 #15 Share Posted August 24, 2012 On the Paradise last week we got fructis shampoo and conditioner(2 single use sizes of each)and three mini tubes or arm and hammer toothpaste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted August 24, 2012 #17 Share Posted August 24, 2012 on Glory last week was soap, 2 packets of Fructis shampoo/conditioner and 2 clear plastic packets with 2 each Crest toothpaste squeeze out packets inside (not tubes).

Chmie Posted August 24, 2012 #18 Share Posted August 24, 2012 On the Magic all we had was some product samples of shampoo and mouthwash. I've had much better in a Motel 6. Pretty cheesey actually. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Giard Posted August 24, 2012 #19 Share Posted August 24, 2012 DH goes ga-ga over the samples. I get travel size goodies at WalMart or Target and sneak them in before he can see. He thinks they give baby powder, alka-seltzer, mints, hand sanitizer, ear plugs and band-aids :). Good thing he doesn't read CC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
