charlielinda Posted April 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2019 We are going on TA and then gone for two more weeks. I know we get one bag for being Elite. Is there a specific number of items or can you fill the bag? I’m sure we’ll have another bag ... does anyone know the cost. Thanks so much.

JerseyGirlatHeart Posted April 11, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2019 In Jan, it was 30 items per elite member. Not sure of cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathynorth Posted April 11, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The directions on the Captain's Club letter says bag full or up to 30 items. It's pretty hard to fill the currently provided paper bag with 30 items without tearing the bag. We stuff socks into the corners of the bag, then roll up our shorts and t-shirts to fit what we can. Sorry, I don't know how much a bag would cost without the CC benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will actually get 1 bag each so total for a stateroom is generally 2 bags total. As stated above it is for 30 items. Extra bags have recently been listed at $49.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen specials on selected cruises but varies. You may want to bring some shipping tape to reinforce the paper bag.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted April 11, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2019 We had a fill a bag offer on our recent 15 night cruise and the cost was $49. It was offered about day 10 or 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nice things about the suites is they have cloth bags and can easily hold 30+ items. I've read on a couple thread that some people have brought plastic garbage bags and put them inside the paper bags to help get them to hold up to forcing everything into the paper bags.

We would bring packing tape to seal the top as well as wrap around the paper bag so we could fill the bag all the way to the top without it falling out or ripping. However, since getting hooked on sky suites, we can leave the tape home now as the cloth bags in the suites are large and quite strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knolmom Posted April 11, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Elite members, you don’t have to try to stuff all 30 pieces into one bag. For the last three cruises, whether we have been inside, balcony or suite, our steward just told us to fold the clothes into one or two bags and label them, bag 1 of 2 and 2 of two, and put down elite loyalty laundry on each. Then we do a separate bag for cleaning and a separate bag for a pressed item. We use my name on the first bag, ( usually about 20 items) and later in the cruise, we use my DHs name on the second, which usually amounts to maybe a dozen items. We do 10-14 day European cruises so this comes in handy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted April 11, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 11, 2019 On our Silhouette cruise in December we tore the bag and asked our steward for a new one. We were in Aqua class. He have us a cloth bag and no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcpa1 Posted April 11, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Laundry special on Summit in January was $49. Don't put dry cleaning in the same bag. I learned the hard way. Our steward told us to just place the items on top of a flat bag with the ticket on top and he would take care of it. And, he did. Be sure to check your bag asap upon the return. We had about 1/2 dozen of another passengers laundry. Our steward quickly traced the laundry and retrieved my DH's missing items. And, don't forget all bagged laundry, whether paid or elite, must be sent out no later than 3 days before disembarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myjillian Posted April 11, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Love free laundry and trying to roll as much as possible in the bags...just another perk that can be used😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted April 11, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Not always 30 items for Elite. On Our last TA the limit was 20 items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted April 11, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 11, 2019 There is an art to getting 30 items in a bag but it can be accomplished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted April 11, 2019 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Doesn't each Elite get 1 free dry clean and 2 free pressings? Booked on a few b2bs of 10 and 11 nights.so will probably need these as well as laundry bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the celebrity site it also state that you get an additional bag of laundry at a discounted price on cruises of 12 days or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahs mam Posted April 14, 2019 #17 Share Posted April 14, 2019 As people have already said the cost of another bag, should you need it as Elite means one bag each - is $49. However we cruised in March and there is no number restriction ie previously 30 you just need to be able to fill the bag. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlielinda Posted April 14, 2019 Author #18 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Thank you so much. We’re both elite so thinking we’ll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 14, 2019 #19 Share Posted April 14, 2019 We had cloth bags in AQ on Edge..easier than the paper but we did fine with those as well. Fold and roll. We use 1 bag for white socks and undies..pr of socks = 1 item We use the other bag for darks, but we never send out anything we cannot afford to have shrink..or be lost. We have been lucky so far! Laundry Dept on X is very impressive Lots of wash and wear fabrics do okay washed in the sink and drip dry on hangers in the shower. I agree you should be fine...

I believe the lower limit applies to TA cruises with water use restrictions. It's in the fine print of the Captain's Club perk list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfkcruiser Posted April 15, 2019 #21 Share Posted April 15, 2019 We always use this elite perk. We lay out the items on the bed and take a photo should something be missing upon return. Fortunately this has not happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smtcan Posted April 15, 2019 #22 Share Posted April 15, 2019 We had cloth bags in OV on Millennium last month (after the refit). It was easier to pack them, no need for reinforcement. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muushka Posted April 15, 2019 #23 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Did we miss our free bags of laundry while on a 14 night Holland America cruise? NO!! (and I am very frugal) $7 a day per cabin gets you unlimited laundry. And there's more! It is returned (beautifully pressed) either hanging on a hanger or neatly folded in a straw basket wrapped in tissue with a gold seal. Celebrity, I would gladly give up our Elite benefit for this service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
