BeccaBecca1713 Posted October 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Question for those who've had Carnival do their laundry: I've only ever washed my own clothes while cruising, but this time seriously considering the laundry bag special they run at least once a cruise. Are you ever concerned some of your clothes will come back a little on the shrunken side? I just have this image of the clothes being put in big industrial washers with hot water, then dried on high heat. I picture some of my shirts coming back teeny weeny. What's your experience?

*Mach* Posted October 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've used the laundry service a number of times and have never had a problem with anything shrinking. I do notice a bit of an 'industrial' smell to them but that goes away pretty quickly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTouch Posted October 13, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2011 We only use it for jeans, shorts, t shirts, undies and socks.......we call it wash and wrinkled:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennim Posted October 13, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 13, 2011 This doesn't really answer your question but... I have never had anything "washed" but I have had my husbands shirts done and they have come back better then any dry cleaner I have ever used :) I'm guessing they have everything down to an "exact science ;)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted October 13, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2011 We only have Carnival launder clothes that have been thru several cycles at home. Do not put in new and/or delicate clothes. Your clothes go into a large mesh bag. Your mesh bag joins other mesh bags in a huge 100gal washer. Then all the clothes gets dried/pressed in a huge mangle. I hve been tempted to get some of those Shout Color Catcher sheets to throw into my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
