silly2003 Posted June 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Seems like a small thing, but I'm trying to figure out if shampoo and conditioner are provided on board Princess ships. I am packing now and would prefer to only provide what I needed for my non-cruise part of the trip. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no problem using various brands of shampoo and conditioner,you will be fine. If you really rely on a favorite brand, you might want to bring that too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted June 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2015 It is now a combined shampoo and conditioner, not separate containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF - retired RRT Posted June 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I am not picky about shampoo but the combination stuff on the ship leaves something out. I do better when I bring a small container (or 2 depending on length of cruise) of conditioner (like what you get in hotels - I have LOTS of those). Doesn't take up any space in the suitcase and weighs next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted June 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I am usually not real picky (I can use most shampoos and conditioners provided in the hotels we've stayed in) but the combination stuff Princess switched to last year is pretty bad. I would bring my own. You asked.............. (Are you flying in a day early? As a last resort you can bring the stuff from your hotel.)

islandatsea Posted June 20, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2015 We have tried the stuff Princess has in the cabins and we prefer to bring our own shampoo & conditioner (in travel size bottles) and bar soap. Just our preference to what is being offered in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonmary Posted June 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'm good with generic as well. But, it took almost 2 months for my hair to forgive me for a 7 day cruise using Princess generic garbage. Well, not exactly garbage. The shampoo makes pretty good body wash. Just don't use it on your hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted June 20, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 20, 2015 My DH will use anything so no problem to him and I take my own.

rdsqrl Posted June 21, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Combination shampoo/conditioner is a drugstore-quality product at best. I would never put a drugstore brand haircare product on my hair and would certainly not use a combination product, even it were made by Alterna or Bumble and bumble. Which I'm sure Princess's isn't. Low quality plus the ship's soft water will mean your hair will be a tangled, dry, unmanageable mess. Take your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted June 21, 2015 #19 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The new combination shampoo and conditioner they have really is terrible. I have started bringing my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted June 21, 2015 #20 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Picky or not,that is not the question regarding the use of the provided "shampoo and conditioner". I found it to be awful! I used it once,and my hair was a tangled mess. The product left my hair in such a way that I could barely put a comb through it. Since that experience, when the product was introduced,I pack my own shampoo and conditioner. That's my heads up re : the shampoo/conditioner product provided by Princess - pardon the pun!
