Is lotion still provided?

[1965]

Sailing in 10 days. Wondering if hand & body lotion is still provided in cabins. Thanks.

[cruzsnooze]

Yes it is

Interesting ... would've expected Princess, by now, to have replaced single-use plastic with a refillable, like shampoo and body wash.  Just on the new-builds?

Speaking only for us, I certainly hope they never do as you suggest.

Well, it really is not my suggestion.  

 

Before the shutdown, Princess found a new environmental conscience and outlined their plan to get rid of single-use plastics ... and replace them with more sustainable items.

 

Time will tell as to implementation of their plans.

Poor choice of words on my part. Shouldn’t have said “suggestion” but “observation” instead.

No worries.

If they can replace plastic straws with horrible cardboard straws that dont even reach the bottom of some glasses they serve cocktails in and collapse and are useless half way through your drink I am sure in a case of improving the environment and use of single use plastic they could get rid of current practice and have refillable bottles fixed to the wall.

[Bgwest]

If I can bring my own plastic straws from home then I can certainly bring my own lotion.

Plastic is the only straw they should use for cocktails. I mean those made of wood or carton taste bad and you will feel the taste right after your first sip. I dont recommend using carton straws. Only plastic ones. They should have a proper way to utilize them

Bad idea. I want to take the single-use lotion home with me.

You can have our lotion. Any of the Lotus Spa stuff is so heavily perfumed I can't be in the same room with it without getting an instant headache. I'm not talking about a mild headache. As for straws my wife has several metal straws she carries so, if one of us feels the need for a straw, we have one available. The only issue is remembering to take your straw with you when leaving

I’m very glad they still have it because I adore Princess lotion!

[crimlarks]

I love the Princess lotion!  I have only one tube left here at home; it has to last til our next cruise at the end of May 2022.  I hope the never do away with those - we always bring them home after the cruise.

I also adore the Princess lotion and don't notice any scent with it all. We've been so fortuate with past cabin stewards that offered an abundance of lotions that I have had to purchase a minimal amount in the meantime. I LOVE Princess Lotus spa lotions!! Can't wait for the opportunity to restock in February!

Last week on Majestic we received: 2 tubes of lotion; bars of soap for the sink & shower; a toiletries kit; shower cap; sisal mit.

We were in a midship Emerald deck standard obstructed deluxe balcony cabin which has a loveseat couch.

That was the first time we’ve received those toiletries (shaving cream, razor, toothbrushes & toothpaste, comb/brush) in the blue Princess bag.

Aren't those toiletries part of the 'enhanced' kit from being a whatever tier, or was that changed in the last revision?

Not for me…in over 30 cruises at the Elite level never received that kit.
 

We used to get a gold mesh bag with lotion, conditioner, lip-balm, nail file, shower cap, sisal mitt & linen mist.

Plastic straws are a fairly recent phenomenon.  What would you have done when paper straws were the only straws available? Mind you they were constructed differently. Someone needs to find the warehouse were all the old straw making machinery is stored.
