Old Fart Cruisers Posted January 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The last time I used the Platinum 'Wash & Wrinkle' service on the Miracle, everything, to my surprise, everything came back neatly pressed and on hangers. Did someone just make a one-time mistake, or this the new standard? It would be great if pressing is now included, but I can't imagine Carnival actually making an improvement to an existing benefit. I did check my bill to make sure I hadn't been charged for the additional service, but there was nothing added. Has anyone else had their laundry come back pressed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandar13077 Posted January 9, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 9, 2022 For those that use this service, have you ever noticed that the clothes come back shrunk? I have always wondered if they use high heat when they are washed and dried. The reason I ask is that at home I wash most stuff in cold water, but use hot when doing certain types of items.

Oletruckdude Posted January 9, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 9, 2022 We will be doing our first B2B next month and our first as platinum. How do you tip for this service? Envelope in the bag with the dirty clothes? How much did you normally tip for a bag? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepra Posted January 9, 2022 #14 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Yes, as of 1/5 on Mardi Gras. It comes back folded in a paper bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I consider how many bags I sent out and how timely the room steward returned clean clothes when deciding to tip more than the auto gratuities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely hot water and high heat. If I recall the laundry page even stated hot water wash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxer Posted January 15, 2022 #20 Share Posted January 15, 2022 In December on the Mardi Gras, went and came back in the bags. Everything happened as usual and as expected.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always leave a $5 bill on top of the bag, which we leave on the bed so the steward will see it. I always get it back within 1 day, if not sooner.

Laurab23 Posted January 15, 2022 #22 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It is hot water and dryers so be careful what you send. They put all passengers laundry in washers together so wouldn't you want it to be hot water? I send stuff that won't matter if it does shrink. Underwear,socks,teeshirts. Stuff like that.

Calnev1 Posted January 15, 2022 #23 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Did multiple bags on the Panorama in December and again on the Radiance last week. All submitted in the AM, all returned within 24 hours. All nicely folded in bags. Not sure if the Carnival laundry shrinks your clothes, but the clean stuff seemed to fit OK. I don't particularly like the smell of the returned laundry. But having clean clothes trumps the smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted January 15, 2022 #24 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I've certainly never had anything returned that shrunk. I actually think that's more about too many buffet trips! 🤪 That said, yes, perfect for socks, underwear, T-shirts. You know, that stuff you can avoid having to pack too much of as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettprincess Posted January 15, 2022 #25 Share Posted January 15, 2022 On the Mardi Gras over Halloween we did one bag of laundry. A nice Lands End black and white striped turtleneck came back brown striped. No biggie but never send certain things through the laundry again.
