merryecho Posted August 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Booked laundry package after hearing good reports here. Pg says you must do this by phone at least 24 hours before leaving for your cruise. Agent who signed me up just said it was the unlimited laundry package. Joined daughter inboard, who had been traveling with no chance to wash clothes. She sent out quite a lot, including several silk blouses Very shocked to get a large bill. Despite the fact that we filled out the "laundry" tag when we sent the clothes in, we were told , after the fact, that pressing and dry cleaning are not included. So paid $100 for laundry package we didn't use, and another hundred for other cleaning. As pg seems to be quite generous in most respects I was surprised at this. Please pg, on future make it clear when this package is sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adidas4fun Posted August 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2013 We were able to sign up for the unlimited laundry package after boarding, and the staff made it very clear what was and was not included. But yes, their website is not so clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merriem Posted August 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I loved the laundry package. Did not send any silks, but everything else, linens, etc was a dream come true. I hate to iron and they did a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALB0711 Posted August 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I sent quite a few silk shirts to laundry with the package and didn't get charged anything. I suspect the person doing your laundry didn't know you had the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merryecho Posted August 19, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The desk certainly knew I had the package. When I complained they said to talk to pg head office, as this was a frequent unpleasant surprise for guests. Other than that, cruise was great though.

ducklite Posted August 20, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I thought the laundry package only included wash/dry and proper finishing--ie folding or ironing/hanging but not dry cleaning. Did I think wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We apologize that it wasn’t clear that the package included only laundry items. We have added a line on our website that dry cleaning and express services are not included. We hope that this provides additional clarification. Kind Regards, Paul Gauguin Cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Gauguin Cruises Posted August 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2013 We wanted to clarify what is included in the pre-reserve laundry package that is offered on the m/s Paul Gauguin. In the package, items are laundered, then pressed, and returned back to guests. Dry cleaning and express services are not included.
