geocruiser Posted November 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Hello to all, Will be sailing on Nieuw Amsterdam this Dec. I know irons are not allowed (for good reasons) and there is no self service laundry. I brought the laundry package for the week. Now. I want to have my clothes iron when I get on board due to packing wrinkles. Does HAL have a separate ironing package that I can buy? It has been a while since I sail HAL, so can you please help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted November 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don’t have an answer to your question, but I do have a piece of advice. Downy Wrinkle Release is our new best friend when we travel. We pre-iron our clothes before packing, and then when we get onboard the ship, we spray the wrinkles and hang our clothes. I haven’t had to send anything to be ironed since we started using this spray. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted November 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) I don't have a price, but unlimited pressing IS available, per this photo of the laundry slip: https://www.rogerjett-photography.com/here/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/HAL-Laundry-Bag-Price.pdf ETA: It's at the bottom, next to unlimited laundry and laundry by the bag.

geocruiser Posted November 15, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I am Back!! I just called HAL and spoke to a wonderful lady named Jennifer, I think her dept was ship services. Yes, I was able to buy the pressing package. Now I have both the wash and pressing package. I am very happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatchawanaBabe Posted November 23, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I find that my hair straightener works to get wrinkles out. Not as easy as an iron, but it helps in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted November 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2019 You shouldn't need to buy two packages - the unlimited laundry package should include pressing. We sailed Eurodam last month and purchased unlimited laundry for the 11 nights - $77. Day of embarkation I sent six dress shirts and four cabana shirts out for pressing only...it was covered under our unlimited laundry package. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted November 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Make sure you specify on the form that they’re to come back on hangers or they’ll be returned folded into the exact same creases. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very happy!! my unlimited laundry package covered “pressing only”. I just returned from a cruise on November 6th, so I would hope nothing has changed. It would definitely “pay” to call HAL and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to save a few bucks, you can make your own wrinkle release by mixing one tablespoon of fabric softener to a cup of water. Then put this mixture in your spray bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone advise on the prices of those three promotions for a 7 day cruise? We will be traveling for a week or so post cruise so if the price is right I wouldn’t mind leaving the cruise with clean clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My unlimited laundry package for my Hawaii/Mexico cruise was $7/day for the cabin. I believe I paid $9/day for my Mediterranean cruise, but that was a couple of years ago. You can also do one bag for $20. You can fit a LOT in one bag. Your ship will announce the promotion in either a flyer or your daily When & Where, if this is a consistent practice fleet wide.

mexico8 Posted November 23, 2019 #14 Share Posted November 23, 2019 We just got off the Koningsdam (13 day cruise) and no special laundry package was ever announced. I agree that they usually offer it but not this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted November 24, 2019 #15 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The by-the-bag option is always available, though, it is on the laundry form. It has been $20/bag on US cruises and $30/bag for cruises with either end in Europe (and I think, Asia). The cost may have changed or may change before any particular cruise, I think that's why it's not printed on the laundry form linked above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of the Neptune Suite forms. No prices on those because laundry is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
