AmandaNS Posted October 24, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I've been bitten by the "pack lightly" bug... and it's become a personal challenge to see how much extra stuff I can get rid of... I hate lugging luggage (gee, wander why it's called that?? LOL). Not packing stuff like shampoo would lighten the load a bit, but I don't want to look like I just stuck my finger in a light socket!! I'm a female with short hair, and I'm not usually picky about what I wash it with, within reason. I don't spend a lot of time sitting in the sun or in the water, either. Any thoughts??? We're sailing on the Empress (RCCL), but it sounds like the low-quality shampoo is pretty much across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkringen Posted October 24, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I never have a problem using hotel/freebie shampoo. I have thin hair and don't have to worry about fly-aways or frizzies though. I would say if you haven't had a problem with other hotel shampoos you would be fine with the stuff onboard. Michelle in SoCal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyroot Posted October 24, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I bring my own shampoo only since I started coloring my hair (color treated hair needs special shampoo) but otherwise I find the free shampoo to be very nice quality. Leave it home and travel light, I WANT to live with the "travel light" motto, but I am constantly overpacking! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningradical Posted October 25, 2005 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I have cruised three times on carnival and have always used the provided shampoo and never had a problem. I also have short hair. I also try to cut down on the packing. I over packed way to much on my first cruise. Have a great cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjblk Posted October 25, 2005 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I too have used the shampoo provided. NCL and Celebrity. It seems to do fine. I figure for a week, I can use the ones provided and not have to bring more bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaNS Posted October 25, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks a ton!!! I thought it should be okay, but after sooooo many people said they brought their own, I wanted to check. In the grand scheme of life, it's a pretty tiny thing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
