newzandile Posted May 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I promise I have searched this topic but haven't found anything less than 2 years out of date so I apologize if I overlooked something more recent. Family of 5 traveling in a larger group of 13 on the Norwegian Sun from Vancouver to Seward and then immediately into an RV for a brief DIY trip to Denali for a few days. The cruise to RV turnaround is very tight (spending one night in Talkeetna) and I want to get to Denali as fast as possible. Also doing 2 nights pre-cruise in Vancouver. I'm panicking about the laundry situation. What is the current special offered midweek on laundry? I know there aren't any self-serve laundry options on the Sun? Also, does anyone know what day they are offered on the Alaskan itineraries (Mon - Mon). Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted May 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The laundry service I suspect you're referring to is the "stuff a bag" promo, currently $19.99. The bag seems a bit smaller now but you can still get quite a bit in if you really push it. If you roll things tight you should get most of the necessities in. I usually bring a bit of laundry detergent with me for handwahsing and it's great that there's a line in the BR for hanging things up. The day can vary since they rarely do all decks on the same day but it'll be mid week so probably Thurs, Fri.... back by dinner time next day. Mark everything down and check it off when you receive it back and you should be good. Enjoy the Sun, and your vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare blackwing Posted May 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think it's always the fourth day. So on Escape, which is a Saturday to Saturday, we got the $19.99 bag on Tuesday. Leave on bed by Tuesday evening, it is promised back by Thursday. Although we got our clothes back on Wednesday. You can stuff a LOT into the bag, it doesn't need to close. Bring some tape in case the bag rips, it will be a lot easier to just tape your bag rather than trying to find someone to give you a new one.

I bring large clear garbage bags and then I put the ship laundry bag once I fill it in the large clear garbage bag and give the bag a twist to close and leave it for the room steward. That way nothing falls out of the small ships laundry bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzycruise Posted May 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I was on the Sun May 8-16. One positive thing was the perfection in the laundry service! Immaculately cleaned, folded without wrinkles and delivered to the cabin in a woven basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casofilia Posted May 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2016 We have not used the offer as we get a free load each being Platinum. You get lots in the bag and it comes back as soon as possible always within 36 hours. Have fun finding the id stickers!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
