washcruise13 Posted July 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Can we use our 50% off laundry service any day of the cruise (7 day cruise NCL Bliss) or can we only use it on a specific day? 🤔 Edited July 13, 2023 by washcruise13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russiamomm Posted July 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Sorry, what 50% off deal? If you have Gold status, there will be a “coupon” in your room on embarkation. It can be used any time. If you don’t have status, there is usually a deal mid-week for $30 a bag. The bag doesn’t show up until mid week, but I’m sure the steward can get it earlier if you need it.

jlowe420 Posted July 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Russiamomm: There is usually a 50% off coupon on like the middle day of the cruise that is delivered with the pile of trash they give you each day. I've thrown that note into the bag several days later and only been charged half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnoliaBlossom Posted July 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Bring a plastic trash can liner to reinforce the bag, which is very flimsy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the wrinkle thing, but how can rolling them possibly take up less space, as she claims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn’t believe how much I can get into those small, flimsy bags by rolling everything tight! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the wrinkle thing, but how can rolling them possibly take up less space, as she claims? Try it yourself at home. Get yourself a three gallon plastic bag ( bathroom waste container size.) Get a load of dirty clothes, ( don't use clothes that Mrs.RB may have just spent hours cleaning, or there'll be hell to pay!!.) Roll them as tightly as you can, and PLACE them methodically in the bag until full. Now dump out the bag and ruffle up all the clothes. Now try just stuffing them in the bag. You'll find you will fit a whole lot more by rolling than stuffing. And as MagnoliaBlossom stated above, pack a couple of those plastic bags to line the paper laundry bag NCL provides. The paper bags are cheap, flimsy, and tear easily. Happy Cruising!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDONCHICK Posted July 15, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 15, 2023 packing tape works well on those flimsy paper bags. I used to "laminate" the bag tags to make them stronger and had a small roll in a suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW Pacific Posted July 15, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Be careful what you send out in the laundry bag. remember clothes washed and dried in hot water and dried on high heat setting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW Pacific Posted July 15, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) very glad you had no problems, just a heads up to let cruisers know clothes are not washed in cold water, even if requested.

PLUS many of the "light, modern fabric" fashion clothing would not "survive" in a tumble dryer, not even on a "mild cycle". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that it is among the "Latitude Welcome Back pack" that Latitude Gold members get, similar to Platinum and above getting a "free laundry" coupon amongst the other coupons in their "Welcome Back pack".

nextcruiseonmymind Posted July 16, 2023 #20 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I have used the Platinum laundry service coupon a few times and the laundry comes back totally wrinkled. Is it possible to pay up in order to have your clothes pressed? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
