Elite laundry service question.

[StillCruzin]

Finally, sailing on Majestic Princess at the Elite level in 01/22. Looking forward to not having to pack so much. My question is, what is the first and last day I can give my cabin attendant my laundry and have it returned to me? I imagine the laundry has times it is overloaded with requests.

You can put a bag out on embarkation day if you want. Turnaround was excellent on our September Majestic cruise (often next day) but that may be due to reduced capacity. As things ramp back up I would expect 2-3 day return times. The last day they will take one is  a few days prior to disembarkation. Not sure, but I think it was two days on our last cruise. Again this may vary by ship and itinerary.

I ask my cabin attendant what the turn around time is.  It all depends how many Elites are on board.

On our Majestic cruise two weeks ago, turn-around for laundry was 3 days.  This was with 50% passenger capacity.

Our cabin stewards have usually told us when the last day for laundry is. The worst for turn-around times, of course, were the transatlantic cruises with nearly a thousand Elite passengers on them. On my week-long cruise next month, I plan to send out a few things on Tuesday just so I don't have to pack as much. The cruise starts on a Sunday.

We were on the 11/6 Majestic sailing.  Our cabin steward said it would take one to 2 days.  She got it back to us in one day.  She rocked.

I was told by my steward that 9 am was the latest you could turn in laundry. Keep that in mind.  Best to plan to hand it over the night before or hand it to your steward by 8:30 am.

It depends a LOT on how many elites are on board.  I was on a South America cruise pre-covid when half the passengers were elite. It was running 4 or more days to  get laundry back!

We have had a similar experience on a westbound Atlantic TA.  There were well over 1,000 elites on board.

The 9 a.m. deadline is for counting as being turned in that day. Anything turned in after 9 a.m. is like it was turned in the next day.
