WOW.For what you pay for your suite,you deserve to take them. LOL
I can't believe the ruffled feathers I'm seeing in this thread...as if DCL is going to be hurting financially due to people taking home some of the H20 products to the point they'd have to raise the cost of the cruise to compensate.
Come on folks, let's use a little common sense here...DCL factors all of this in, and they know how popular the little vials are; they have no issue with folks taking them home, none.
Take them, and enjoy them, Disney knows all about this, and they simply don't care.
Thats a 5 week trip including staying in hotel accommodation and a 7 night cruise.I have to ask. Is this all from one cruise?
That's sort of a moot point. It's a little like saying that if you can afford to cruise concierge then you should be able to afford to buy your own drinks instead of drinking the free ones they pass out to you during the cocktail hour. (Or whatever it's called - says the person who cruises quite comfortably and happy in steerage class thankyouverymuch.) Anyone on a Disney cruise can afford shampoo by why in the world would you not take the free stuff they keep putting more and more and more of in your room?Seriously. If you can afford a Disney Cruise, you can afford to go to h20plus.com and buy some full sized bottles of the stuff (including the coveted body butter) when you get home to use all year long.
It's not that expensive.

Maybe cost is an issue when people take excessive amounts. If it wasn't, why did they stop providing the body butter?
I think this was only a switch up. I have heard people complain the body butter was to thick and didn't feel it moisturized as well as it could. I really don't feel it was a cost measure but who knows.
as to taking it home, if it was in fact something dcl did not like then the items would be counted and controlled more. the rs would be accountable for what he takes and gives and I have not seen this as yet, they hand it out freely.
I do have a friend who worked for dcl, I wonder if this is a question they could answer for me.
An important point. Bath products are provided for our use onboard; taking full tubes home is....well...taking something that doesn't belong to you. Hurts us all, teaches children that small transgressions are okay, puts the room hosts in an uncomfortable position if you ask them if it is "okay" (as if they have that authority).
Small thing? To some. Use them, enjoy them, and look for them at stores when you return home. We really like them.

Disney owns like half of the U.S. so I'm pretty sure they're not sweating the toiletries. Companies give disney their products just to promote them...lighten up people.
I disagree that makes it okay, though. Would someone stop by the room steward's cart and steal some extra toiletries if no one is looking? Is that somehow different for some people? Will Disney go under if a few people steal the cool knives in Animator's Palate? Of course they won't. Doesn't rationalize doing it, though.
Much more important and/or exciting topics to discuss....agree with some other posters. But the OP made a good point, many guests are doing something small but wrong.
Now...my favorite desert by far is chocolate soufflé. Although being able to order Mickey Bars is a tempting secret snack!
Maybe we should start a post to stop wasting Coke or they will replace it with a cheap brand
Maybe Disney considers the pilfered toiletries as marketing materials. I know every time I use the lotion the smell of it makes me want to book another cruise.
