Jules59 Posted January 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2018 We have a full suite this time on our cruise. One of the perks is having our laundry done at no charge.Has anyone had any experience having there's down from the ships laundry? Can you send everything there? Do they take good care of your clothes? Thanks, Jules59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getting older slowly Posted January 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi Jules59, the times we have our laundry done everything was great, just put in bag and then magically appears on coat hanger in walk in robe. ( also if you check your on board account regularly you might see a change for laundry, then a bit later on you will see the amount credited to your account ) Enjoy your cruise and your breakfasts at sabitini's it is just the best, also cocktails before dinner are good as well. Cheers Don be on the golden in 20 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted January 8, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Trust them only with older clothes. If you own expensive items I wouldn't turn it in for Princess laundry. Possible for cleaning but definitely not regular wash & dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted January 8, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Do they take care of your laundry? Well, I wouldn't send my $ 3,500 suit to the laundry (It doesn't make it on the ship), but other items have come back clean and without issue. Others have had less than satisfactory results at times.

nukesubsailor Posted January 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2018 We have used the free laundry perk many times. My wife will not send any of her "delicates" but everything else has always come back in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginnyfyr Posted January 8, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2018 We sailed on the Crown Dec 30-Jan 7th in a suite and used the laundry service to freshen up some t-shirts, shorts, and undergarments - everything came back in good condition and on time. My husband sent out his suit and dress shirts for pressing when we first boarded and those also came back in good shape, so no complaints from us!

Rare gotta cruise again Posted January 8, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2018 My husband uses it: shirts, both casual & dress came back fine; same with slacks; pressing only of some items also fine. Was funny getting his undershirts back pressed and on hangers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted January 8, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It's just a matter of time & they ruin something decent. Just be aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules59 Posted January 9, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Can I send something to be either to be steamed or pressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirazcruiser Posted January 9, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Be prepared that everything will be put in the dryer so if shrinkage is a problem you might want to rethink. I noted in the "comments" section to wash my jeans in cold water because I couldn't afford any shrinkage and they SHRANK. My pastel pink undergarments and a pink t-shirt were returned looking tie-dyed and were obviously washed with dark blue items. I don't send any delicates now or my jeans; however, it's great to send all of DH clothes daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted January 9, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It was fine for all of my husband's clothing. He only had his tux pressed, not cleaned. He sent EVERYTHING in. I was reluctant to use the free service and on my last cruise I had two items ruined. My spanx (undergarment) and white PJ bottoms came back grey, not white (they had black champagne bottle silhouette on it, so maybe got washed with dark colors?). I should have know better on the undergarment, but was disappointed in the Pajama pants. Live and learn. Only send things I'm ok with possibly shrinking and things I'm not concerned with getting ruined. I didn't want to stand in line to complain, but it was over $100 in damaged clothing.

jennybenny Posted January 9, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Can I send something to be either to be steamed or pressed? Yes, my husband sends his tux to be pressed the day we board. He's never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted January 9, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 9, 2018 We got back someone elses under wear and never did get ours back although we turned in the wrong ones we received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
