KruzPrincess Posted January 16, 2012 #26 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't tip for laundry. I tip my steward at the end of the cruise or if I'm asking something really out of the ordinary. I don't consider laundry out of the ordinary. I usually save up clothes until I have a full bag rather than sending a couple items each day. I usually send things mid-cruise. If I had several days of travel before I got to the ship I'd send some sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoodqueen Posted January 16, 2012 #27 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ok--sorry, my error and I am properly chagrined. I forgot folks generally do more than cruise just because I can't.Mea culpa. Don't apologize - I didn't clue into why people have dirty laundry on the first day either and I've been on 17 cruises! I usually arrive only a few days before I board so I'm still good for a little longer. Now we all know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted January 16, 2012 #28 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So, do most people tip for this free service or not? If so, how much? Just wondering as I am new to this myself and don't want to offend anyone and look like a cheapskate. I don't. Though they usually receive an additional tip at the end of the week in addition to the auto-tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDave Posted January 16, 2012 #29 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Also don't forget that elite laundry is 2 days turn around by default, not same day. Leave it out in the morning, expect it bad in the afternoon/evening of the next day. So if it does take 2 days then please don't get all annoyed. If you are willing to pay the usual fee for same day service then you can do so (I was told on my last cruise). Although I have left a bag of laundry on the bed in the afternoon and the steward has taken it that evening, it has come back in 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnd crsr Posted January 16, 2012 #30 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have left a bag on laundry on the bed in the afternoon and most often the clean clothing shows up after 5 the next afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
