aroy11462 Posted July 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Does Celebrity still do a special on ‘ all you can fill laundry bag “ on a 10 day cruise. If so around what day would it be done? I want to work out most days, but would like to limit amount of clothes I bring. Thanks advance. Edited July 18, 2022 by aroy11462 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted July 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2022 It has been a while since we took a 10 day cruise but generally when the laundry bag is offered it is mid cruise. Price last time I saw it offered was $49.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted July 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2022 We were on an 11 night cruise in April on the Eclipse. My memory is that the "stuff a bag special" wasn't offered . But in full disclosure we are Zenith members of the Captain's Club so don't pay a much attention as we should to laundry offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted July 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2022 You should expect it night 4 or day 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozfoz Posted July 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yes they do. Just off the Eclipse and used it as a Captain',s Club Elite benefit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampshirelad Posted July 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2022 We have them as we are Captains Club Elite and are very useful. Be warned do not send delicate clothes or things with a loose weave as they will shrink ! Did not notice until we got back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how many of us blame the X laundry for struggling to get into clothes post cruise! Seriously, agree, you do need to be careful about what clothes you put in. My rule is usually only put in the bag items you would put in a hot mixed wash at home. They also come back folded so no good for items that crease. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got off the Beyond a couple weeks ago (has it been that long already?) and we got the bag option twice during the cruise. One item did come back with a hole in it so yeah, nothing too delicate or anything you’re too worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested because we have a 12 day planned and want to do carryon only so the laundry situation is important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it was cheaper to go with the per item cost than the full bag the 2nd time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charge, as mentioned, was $49.95, but with our tier level (only Select), it was somehow reduced to $20. I didn’t question it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bye-seaya Posted July 18, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 18, 2022 We’ve had really good luck with the ship laundry service. Super quick turnaround. This past March and November filled a bag, marked it in several place “ please wash cold water only”. No shrinkage issues at all. Our cabin steward even brought back one of my tops (before washing) to show me that there was a tiny hole in it by the makers label and wanted to know if we wanted to have it washed - in case the hole got bigger. They were being super careful. Very conscientious! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vickykay Posted July 19, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I often bring a plastic bag ( like the ones you get when clothing shopping) and put the clothes in that and then in the paper bag. Able to fit more in without ripping the bag. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted July 19, 2022 #16 Share Posted July 19, 2022 In suites sometimes the laundry bag is made of cloth with rope ties. Better than ripping the paper bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneeman Posted July 19, 2022 #18 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) We were on Beyond on the July 2 cruise. I checked daily, and found no reference to a laundry special. We were in a sky suite, so on day 5 (of 9) after not seeing it referenced yet again, I called our Personal Retreat Host. She sent over a bag and said to write "Laundry Challenge" on the slip. I don't know if anyone could do it at any time, but I just did what she said and was charged $49.95 less 10% for my Classic level discount. I never did see it advertised anywhere the entire cruise (and I read everything left in our room). Perhaps it was offered and our stateroom attendant missed placing it for us.

Rare Silent Penguin Posted July 19, 2022 #19 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Too bad there isn't a special price for passengers doing B2B cruises. Or is there? I wouldn't know since I haven't cruised with Celebrity and am still in the planning/research phase for a cruise next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted July 19, 2022 #20 Share Posted July 19, 2022 If you don't have much that you want to have washed, you can always pay by the article of clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted July 20, 2022 #21 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Not offered on 10 day criuse in June on Summit. We used our free elite plus laundry offers. With a 3 day return, it isn’t much. You cannot use on the first day or the last 3 days. The items that I listed to be ironed weren’t. The clothing was returned folded, but rather dingy looking. Washed it out when I got home. Just another way that Celebrity is cutting back. If I take another Celebrity cruise, I will not use the laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always send out laundry the first day as we arrive to port several days early, and have done so on many, many cruises. We also have sent out laundry up to 2 days before ending. They don't iron your clothes unless you pay extra and don't claim to. The clothes are washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer for sanitary reasons unless you tell them otherwise (or so I've been told, haven't tried that). We have been sending laundry out for years, on literally 30+ cruises, and only one item was ruined - a pair of black socks was faded. Your choice of course, but we will continue to send out our washable clothes - t-shirts, underwear, pj's, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLCruiser97 Posted July 20, 2022 #25 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'm always a little afraid that the laundry sent out will come back shrunk as this has happened with a pair of jeans but I do like the idea of putting on the bag "cold water wash only". I'll use that on the transatlantic in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
