letsgobucks1 Posted May 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Can we count on the laundry bag special (~$24.95) being offered on our cruise to Alaska in June? Is there a one bag limit or can you have 2 bags? How big are the bags? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bag is maybe 21" long, 15" wide and can be stuffed to about 8" thick. It's a papery like bag, so this is one time duct tape could come in handy if you want to pack it really full; they can tear! I consider it a good deal, and usually take advantage of it. What is nice is that they iron things, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuvikcouple Posted May 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2012 On our last cruise they did not iron any items, just washed and folded. I had to send any items that required ironing back out and pay the pressing fee. I do not recall if this has been the norm on previous NCL cruises that we have taken but they have always offered the special. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgobucks1 Posted May 19, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanks so much! I'm getting worried that we are packing too many clothes, but also worried about getting wet/muddy/dirty on our excursions:). Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Yes, to the best of my knowledge it's always been a wash and fold special. And not special instructions. They often happen mid-way through the cruise or later. Cruises longer than one week may have more than one special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's wash n fold, our shirts always came back on hangars, looking as if they'd been pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted May 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2012 In what temperature do they wash the clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suitcasefull Posted May 20, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2012 No idea about temp but guessing a normal cycle for everything. Special was offered twice on our 14 night PC Transit in April. Everything back folded in basket, not ironed or on hangers but no surprise since that's what sheet said. Some shirts buttoned, some not. DH sent knit shirts, pants, socks; I sent only very casual capris, jeans. Relatively sure everything done in huge loads. Clothing tagged with a number so they keep track of owner.

Planmaam Posted May 20, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I guess I should consider myself lucky that I at least thought my blouse came back ironed. It was one of those no-iron shirts, but I swear, it looked like it had been ironed! I can't get it to look that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted May 22, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Some of my clothes say was in cold water. Others say wash in warm water. Do you think at the laundry they separate the clothes into like colors and temperatures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think at the laundry they separate the clothes into like colors and temperatures? Probably not, just wash everything warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
