I never gotten a new bottle every day maybe when it was half full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the December 4, 2022 cruise, when we ran low on conditioner, they brought us 2 more bottles each of shampoo, condition and lotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailfar Posted January 23, 2023 #56 Share Posted January 23, 2023 How much of this is Oceania trying to be environmentally responsible? Do they try to fill up empty bottles, and limit the number of bottles in existence. This plastic is possible going into our drinking water eventually. Not a fan! All our supplies: soap, shower gel, conditioner, lotion and sha!ve gel/conditioner were furnished regularly on our Nov../Dec Marina cruise. No complaint! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are trying to save on the amount of little bottles of stuff getting thrown out at the end of your cruise or people taking the new full bottles home ??? Maybe they will put the refillable pump system in like on other lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ToxM Posted January 23, 2023 #60 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The shops now sell shower wash/gel, don’t know if they did before as I never felty like I was being rationed! You can get L’Occitane or some generic cheaper stuff. We went for the cheaper stuff as it was a bigger bottle and we were in the Caribbean and there was a lot of showering going on. I can imagine if you are in a PH or higher they literally fling the stuff at you as we never had this prob in March on Sirena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseLibra Posted January 23, 2023 #63 Share Posted January 23, 2023 On the Sirena in November we had no problem with the bathroom amenities. When staff noticed that we had opened one of the products they left another for us. There was no rationing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtravel Posted January 25, 2023 #66 Share Posted January 25, 2023 On Marina Dec 2022. Got replacement toiletries as needed. If I asked for anything, it happened. The soap dish near sink doesn’t drain. After a few days, the soap is mushy. Often got a new bar of soap. One strange thing was no choice of scents in toiletries. We got the green. Was told there wasn’t any blue. Also, we noticed replacements were strange. Some had bottles and caps that didn’t match. White scented shampoo in a bottle with green cap or the opposite. Wondering why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted January 25, 2023 #67 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I do not recall ever having a choice of scents ? Usually the lower categories get one kind then PH get a different one to the top suites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkWiltonM Posted January 25, 2023 #68 Share Posted January 25, 2023 When we were on Sirena in November, we had shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and bar soap. There was no liquid body soap. I'm not sure if there ever is, and I didn't care enough to remember to ask the room attendants. But it was a first for us for a cruise. We'll be on Riviera in March and see what they have then. I would prefer that they put wall-mounted dispensers in the showers for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash to reduce the use of plastic bottles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotbattman Posted January 25, 2023 #71 Share Posted January 25, 2023 There are 3 varieties of Bulgari products. Green Tea, Blue Tea and White Tea. From information I have found, they are all available- just ask for your preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammieK Posted January 25, 2023 #72 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We’ve always had shower gel. Sometimes the bottle said shampoo/shower gel. Isn’t that the same as body wash? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomas Posted January 25, 2023 #73 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I use a face cloth to keep the soap from melting in the soap dish....some stateroom attendants leave it on the face cloth for me, others put it back on soap dish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthomas Posted January 25, 2023 #75 Share Posted January 25, 2023 you would not be disappointed going from Celeb to Marina...unless you were in a suite on a new Celeb ship...but even then...larger, noisier, etc.... Marina may be older, but the food is better and so it the clientele. You wont find numbers of kids, people are friendly and welcoming. The activities are fun without being immature. Yes belly flopping on C is immature to us. So is the newly not so newlywed game. Yeah will get roasted here , im sure there are people that love all that. We dont. We love everything about O. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
