Kristy19 Posted July 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I have used Carnivals laundry in the past for basics like socks and shorts but not for any other items. I hang dry most of my clothing at home. Will Carnival do this upon request? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do not think they will do that. many wash there own in the sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your clothes is washed in vats with other people's underwear and cold water would not sanitize. Yes, your steward will nod and agree but they have no ability to override protocols. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted July 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2022 There's a special deck where the laundry people hang all the sheets and blankets and for 600 passengers clothes just to hang dry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that they are all being washing in hot water, they are NOT in vats with other people's clothing. How would anyone in the crew be able to sort out which undies go to which guest if they washed everything together. Separate, but only in hot water.

Guest laundry is put into tagged bags and all those bags are put into massive machines, not single load machines. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted July 18, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don't think so, but I guarantee you they will happily shrink and dull everything, no extra charge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. In the old days, pre-covid, we were able to have "Behind the Scene" tours and they showed us how the guest laundry is done. Has to be on hot to sanitise. Colours, black ,white all in together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes much more sense. I am guessing like the lingerie bags. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and sometimes you can see them if you are in the hallways at the right times, you'll see the laundry crew pushing carts with the bags in them - a lot like lingerie bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raynvic Posted July 18, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I send my laundry out but not those items I want to hang dry. Those I go to the laundry room and wash myself and then hang them in the shower. It would be nice to ask to have clothes returned to hang dry, but I just don't see that happening. Now ships like Mardi Gras does not even have laundry facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
