Dry Cleaning

DW has set me a task

 

Anyone know current dry cleaning prices?

 

Suit and a dress.

No dry cleaning per se. It's a kind of washing/dry cleaning process. Evening dress: $11.50; dress: $9.50; 2-piece suit: $10.50

Actual dry cleaning was stopped several years ago and a more earth friendly process in cleaning now.

Agreed, Princess no longer has dry cleaning even though it still shows on there laundry list.

As stated, Princess doesn't technically dry clean anymore, BUT they do offer a comparable alternative. Everything I've sent out has been returned well-cleaned and in great condition. I'm sorry I don't have pricing.

Yes, they do a very good job. :)

"Dry cleaning" does not appear on the laundry list. "Cleaning" does.

Does Princess offer a flat-rate laundry by-the-bag option on 7-day cruises or is that only offered on longer sailings?

Thank you all. I'll let her know, she is a little stressed over the length and how she will manage clothes, especially for formal nights [6 it looks].

Dry Cleaning has never been a "dry" process! The garment is soaked in a cleaning solution....

The dry cleaning process used what they call "perc" which was very harmful to the environment and most "drycleaners" no longer use the process or will soon be legislated out of business. I don't know what the Princess process entails but they no longer use perc. I have found their cleaning to be economical compared with shore side cleaners (back when we used to pay for it) and the finishing of the garments to be very good.

The "dry" referred to not using water, not to avoiding all liquids.

Haven't seen it offered in ages, even on longer cruises but I might have missed it. With a self-serve laundry on each passenger deck on almost every Princess ship, I don't think people need or want the "by-the-bag" as on other lines. Edited June 18, 2015 by Pam in CA
