Shampoo & Soap

[kwpatel]

It's been over three years since I have been on HAL and we leave next month...

I was wondering if there is shampoo, soap, lotion, and ETC in the bathrooms. And if so what kind. Is it in a big dispenser in the shower

 

Thanks Folks;)

HAL supplies Elemis products, which I quite like. They are supplied in small (hotel size) bottles of shampoo, conditioner, moisturizing lotion and bath/shower gel. They will be replaced by your steward if you need more.

 

Have a great cruise!

I found the Elemis products to be quite nice and adequate as well. :)

Great thanks so much for the info.

There is also the Elemis bar soap (delicate citrus smell) for hands and a bar soap for the bath.

I love the Elemis products and, except for body wash, will most likely leave my toiletries home this time. In fact, I bought the body lotion on the ship and will probably buy the shampoo this time. Only complaint I have is that it is next to impossible to get the hair conditioner out of the bottle!

Someone - I think it was a certain lovable chocoholic ;) - had a great suggestion, which was to empty a little bit of conditioner out of the bottle, add some water, shake it, and store the bottle upside down. I'm sure that will help - it's what I do at home to extract those last few ounces of my own conditioner. Worth a try!

 

PS to Ruth: Apologies for stealing your idea. I owe you some chocolate.:D

I really like the Elemis products too. I wish they would package them differently though. Not only is it a pain to get more than half of each out of the bottles it's such a huge amount of garbage!

 

We went to a Sandals resort a few years ago and they had larger bottles of everything in the room. We were there for a week and it lasted about that long. Way better for the environment.

huh... will if the body wash is not that good. I might bring a med bottle of dove that will last for ten days for the four of us...

No need to apologise---the idea is free for the taking. :) I'm thrilled that you even remembered the source.

Oh, but you're not off the hook for the chocolate. ;)

To be honest, we didn't really care for the Elemis soap (bars) and were glad we brought our own L'Occitane... I didn't use the shampoo or conditioner because I need the high test frizz control...:rolleyes: I was going to bring it home with me to try it out but I forgot...:(

I just love the body wash, I wish I could buy it in great big bottles. It smells soooo good.

Thank you so much for the heads up on the conditioner! I have a little left and will give it a try!

It wasn't that the body wash isn't good ... it seemed fine. But, I have my own, special body wash that I prefer over anything, and I bring that.

I love the Elemis products - tho IMO, the shampoo is a just a bit runny...

...it's a bit too easy to get too much out and have it run between the fingers.

 

The body wash is perfect for me tho - and it makes a superb bubble bath!
