Alwaysacruiseinthequeue Posted July 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I heard that Platinum guests now don't get the full bags of laundry on a 7-day cruise. Are they taking away some of those perks now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they taking away some of those perks now? No it is not true. On Horizon plats got the laundry. Where did you hear that?

beachbum6264 Posted July 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Where did you 'hear' that? This is what the Carnival website has for laundry for Platinum: Complimentary Wash & Fold laundry service (2 bags on 3 – 6 day cruises, 3 bags on 7-12 day cruises, 5 bags on a 12+ day cruises) We had the normal laundry service in March.

Lottacruises Posted July 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think, I said I think... That they have cut this in some way for the shorter cruises. There may be a half truth here somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted July 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2018 When the laundry reaches capacity they can either reduce the amount of laundry they take in or let it take longer to get done. That would seem like the choices. Or eliminate it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival has in the past even limited the Diamond ,Platinum gift to one per cabin. No mater how many Dia /Plat dwell in the cabin . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ask diamonds and plats to limit their use. They are in zero danger of exceeding capacity. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is why laundry isn't always same day and now 2 day laundry is becoming more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once people have to plan a little better, they might not send out as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckiestmanonearth Posted July 10, 2018 #17 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Rumor is false but one thing I found on the Magic recently is that even though you specify you want same day service , it always came back the following day. Not a big deal but I couldn’t tell if it was due to laundry being busy or room steward forgot to deliver it the previous day.

Micahs Grandad Posted July 10, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 10, 2018 We have found that if we tell room steward day before we will have laundry he can pick it up by about 8 30 am and get it back during his evening shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted July 10, 2018 #19 Share Posted July 10, 2018 We were on the Horizon 8 day in May/June and the Glory 7 day in April and noticed no difference in laundry service as Diamond and Platinum in cabin. Whatever we sent out was returned promptly, within 24 hrs. I believe we each used it twice during both cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryred Posted July 10, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The only "limitation" we have experienced in the last 3 years is once on a Journeys cruise. Our steward informed us that the pick-up cut off day for the laundry was day 9 on an 11 day cruise due there being over 2,000 platinum + passengers on board. He further warned us that free laundry might take till the next day to be delivered back, which in our case did not happen. Our solution was as soon as a bag was full we sent it down instead of waiting for till mid cruise to send several bags in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poz222 Posted July 10, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Sometimes they have an operational limitations due to itinerary (Grey water discharge), changes to fresh water making ability or loading, mechanical issues in laundry as well as capacity... but no systemic changes to the benefit.

Yes, some foreign ports actually try to protect the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
