Rare whogo Posted August 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Possibly a first time Seabourn cruiser here, hoping to find approximate costs for internet and laundry before submitting budget figures to SWMBO. I would appreciate any help. Thanks. We hope to avoid doing our own laundry. (I did see a couple of mentions of $400 internet, I could not tell how many days that covered. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I did see a couple of mentions of $400 internet, I could not tell how many days that covered. ) $400 internet is for entire cruise no matter the length. There are different packages you can buy with varying minutes included. Minutes are approx. $0.20/minute. Self service laundry is free (included). Sending out has varying costs depending on the item or $50 for a bag you can stuff as much as you can in. Depending on the items, probably 20 to 25 items. There will be a laundry list with prices in your suite and perhaps somebody can post it. All depends on how much you send out and the types of items.

raphael360 Posted August 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It’s amazing how many items one can stuff into one bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaitape Posted August 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Remember, the bagged laundry is returned nicely folded but not pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband's shirts and washable khaki trousers were returned pressed and hanging on hangers from the $50 bag of laundry.

The laundry is returned on hangers, unless it's underwear or socks or similar. Of course it's pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaitape Posted August 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It's been 2 years since we were last on Seabourn so I must not be remembering correctly....or I'm remembering either Oceania or Windstar bagged laundry practices. Nice to know shirts and slacks in Seabourn's bagged laundry come back pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I did see a couple of mentions of $400 internet, I could not tell how many days that covered. ) As a first time cruiser with Seabourn you may be able to get a Referral of US $400 OBC from someone here which would then make the internet free. In 6 or 7 cruises we have done with Seabourn we have always used this method to acquire the internet for "free" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKP946 Posted August 18, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2019 When we went to Antarctica (first cruise of the second season in 2014) I got by with buying the internet in 2hour blocks at $10 an hour. I found that by working offline and just going online to send and receive that 2 hours lasted about a week (I wasn't posting photos) We had one bag of laundry a week included in our status then and I managed to fit a week’s washing (including slacks) in a bag. I managed to stuff in 48 items once (although I think the record claimed on this board is about 67 items! ) Your laundry does come back pressed [including underwear folded in tissue paper! (Just like at home, NOT !) (I must speak to SWMBO🤣🤣] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted August 18, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 18, 2019 We were on the Quest's Antarctica cruise this past fall. We opted for the $400 unlimited internet package which we shared between the 2 of us and were happy with it, although the band width is not close to what you find on land. The free laundry machine are very large and are often not being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I bought it $495 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
