Shampoo Packing ?

[ellyzma]

I am leaving tomorrow on the Miracle... I live in Tampa so I am packing today/tonight/tomorrow morning :D

 

My question is this:

 

Do I need to pack Shampoo/Conditioner/Body Wash or is it in the showers?

 

I ask because on the Disney ships there is shampoo etc in the showers but this is my first Carnival Cruise...

 

Thanks for Helping...

They have Dove shampoo and body wash.. no conditioner tho.

Thank you!! More room for shoes!!!

The dispenser on the Conquest had Dove Shampoo/Conditioner combo as well as the Dove body wash.

Donna is correct. One shower dispenser has a shampoo-conditioner, and the other has body wash. Dove on my last few cruises.

Depends on how picky you are about your shampoo.. I take my own... the salt wreaks havoc on my hair, so I like to have my own shampoo, that I know won't make that condition even worse, LOL!!!!

:D GC, I know! I have to take my own shampoo and a good STRONG conditioner. Otherwise, my hair looks like straw.

Mine too girl! I can't even get a comb through it if I don't get a good conditioner on it!!! Otherwise, you'd see me in a hat all week :D

On the Victory the dispenser said Shampoo only.. unless they have now changed that since March..

I bring my own to for the same reason.

 

It REALLY helps my hair when I wet it in the morning and put conditioner in and comb through. I leave it in for the day. This gives a layer of protection for your hair from the salt water etc. I bring a small container/tube of a deep conditioner for this. When I shower before dinner I rinse it out, wash, condition as usual. If you color your hair or have curly hair this makes a huge difference!

I would still bring conditioner, that Dove combo did nothing for my hair. My hair is super thick and with all the elements it is exposed to on a cruise I need something that actually works. Just a suggestion....

I'm with Cotton and the others...I have to bring my own...that combo just doesn't have enough conditioner for me. Love the bodywash though! :)

I would bring my own soap and conditioner. Although I didn't quite realize this when I cruised, you end up taking multiple showers over the course of the day (getting the salty, chlorinated pool water off, and getting ready for dinner after a day in a hot and humid port city). The shampoo is probably fine for everyday use, but, even with short hair, I really wished I had brought conditioner to make up for the multiple washings and pool water damage. Even a travel size bottle, which doesn't take up much room, would have been nice. I didn't much care for the soap, but we brought a bar of nice soap, so that wasn't much of an issue. Happy sailing.

I brought travel size and alternated between my own and what was in the shower. I found the wind to be the biggest issue with drying out my hair. It was always windy on deck so anytime I went out side my hair blew every which direction. I have straight, somewhat medium hair with no body at all. Last year it was a chin length bob. I recently cut it off and it won't be as big a problem this year. It's also highlighted so drier than normal also. I also use plain shampoo to clean my jewelry. It takes the sunscreen and dirt off. You can't do that with the stuff with conditioner because it leaves a film.

Ditto! Love the body wash but the shampoo combo just doesn't work for me. Wish it did - less stuff to lug!!:p

Glad Donna knows. Who is Donna? ;)

Last week, the Miracle had Dove shampoo (with a conditioner in it, I think) and an unnamed blue body wash (unless the label had been ripped off only in my particular shower).

There was no sign telling us either what kind it was. I do not think it worked that great at lather.

 

I just took some hotel bottles of shampoo and tossed them after I iused them up. Was no big deal to pack them takes less room than a regular size bottle of shampoo.

I bring my own shampoo and conditioner. I also bring a spray in/leave on conditioner. I wouldn't be able to get a comb through my hair otherwise.
