wesport Posted January 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I have used laundry on Seabourn, Holland America, and Princess. Bags of laundry come back neatly folded with dress shirts and slacks pressed and on hangers. Did a bag of laundry on the Reflection this week. Came back in one laundry bag. Dress shirts, polos, and khakis were just folded and stuffed in the laundry bag. I will have to hang the dress shirt, polos, and khakis in the bathroom and run the shower on hot to remove all the wrinkles. Wish I had known. Would have waited till I got home. Celebrity’s laundry is just laundry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesport Posted January 14, 2023 Author #2 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Also was told as a select member you dont get the discounted bag unless the cruise is 12 nights or more. Had to pay per piece. $60 for wrinkled clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a different service for dry cleaning , and pressing/ ironing I believe the OP was the referring to the clean clothes being put in a bag as opposed to folded neatly in a basket (with tissue paper) or hung up and covered like the 2 options on HAL. Does X provide option for hanging upon return? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've written "please return shirts on hangers" slip and twice was ignored. However, once Select you do get two free items "pressed" and once Elite, you get one item drycleaned which will be pressed. One of the first things I do when enter the stateroom is to check to see if there are any laundry forms because often, the attendant can appear in a few minutes of hearing your door open and can ask for two forms (one for pressing/dry cleaning and one for laundry) if they're not there. Will usually explore the ship and come back after sailaway and by then the luggage should be there and will leave out the shirts that need pressing before turndown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 14, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Wash and fold is just that, No pressing. Great for workout clothes, socks, hankies, pj’s, undies, jeans, t shirts. Not a good choice for slacks, blouses, polo shirts,dress shirts, etc If you send out anything that might be better with a pressing then use the regular wash and press laundry.

Celebrity’s laundry is just laundry. The offer is wash and fold. We always write on the form "please return on hangers, thank you". We make the please and thank you big and bold and it has never failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted January 14, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) We only use the Wash N Fold, AKA Boil and Bake bags for underwear and socks. No complaints and especially due to no additional charge. Edited January 14, 2023 by davekathy 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't. Our laundry, over many years and many cruises, has always been this way with the sometimes exception of suites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted January 14, 2023 #16 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We used the laundry service last month on the Solstice. The items that went in for the wash and fold came back just as that. The items that went for wash and press came back on hangers without request. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted January 14, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 14, 2023 We finally made Elite and it sounds like this one good amenity, one free bag per person, is not so good after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare asnaleah Posted January 15, 2023 #20 Share Posted January 15, 2023 We had a similar experience on Silhouette last month. First bag came back beautifully done, shirts on hangers, etc. Second bag was “folded” perhaps by a seven year old, and then all stuffed in a laundry bag. Unacceptable.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 15, 2023 #21 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Normally the bag is defined as wash and fold. I've never seen it actual say anything otherwise. I guess fold can be interpreted in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesport Posted January 19, 2023 Author #22 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Since I just got back from another 5 night cruise. X charged me only $20 for the bag. Even though the card said only on cruises over 12 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the one benefit we always use. As long as you understand that it wash is and fold, not wash & hang, not wash & press. We use it for t-shirts, socks, DH undies, workout clothes, denim jeans & shorts and hankies. We never use it for dress shirts, pants, blouses, skirts or dresses Although on 1 sailing we did send out 2 dress shirts and as expected they came back folded. We them sent them to be pressed using the CC benefit if 2 pressed items. We have a 26 day B2B planned so will do this again.
