What personal items can I buy at the general store on a cruise?

Question

Do they sell personal toiletries such as tampons, pads, shampoo, hairbrushes, razors, hair ties, ect. on royal carribean cruises?

Answer 1

please bring all that kind of stuff with you because if you buy them on the ship or at a port, you're going to get your head knocked off with the prices.

Answer 2

Yes, but they tend to have small packages and they are very expensive. If I forget anything I try and stop at a drugstore before we drive over to the port. Don't forget Tylenol, anti-diarrheal, tums and bandaids.

Answer 3

They sell all the necessities, but with very little choice, like one brand and only small packages. It is enough to get you through and you can always buy whatever you need in most ports too. We bought cough drops in Mexico with no problem.

Answer 4

Common sense would say yes, they would have all of these items at the different stores on-board.

I'm sure you can find the answer from their wibsite with a little investigating.

Best of luck!

Answer 5

Yes, the cruises I've been on will sell tampons, pads, and razors, and aspirin at there general store.  They normally place shampoo, conditioner and lotion in the cabin bathroom.  If you forget something like a toothbrush they made provide these as well.  Just check with the pursers deck on the ship.  

I've left some of my personal items behind and I personally won't purchase them in the store on the boat.  It's much cheaper to go to a local pharmacy at your port of calls.  Like others have mentioned they're way to expensive onboard.  

Now as far as hair ties and accessories you need for your hair, what I've found is most ships have a souvenior shop where you can purchase these items.

I would check online with the cruise line about what is available.  If not, call them to make sure.  Mostly, the things you don't want to forget is your reservation, ID, and if possible a passport.  Have a great trip.
