Elite Laundry Enchanted Princess

[Micahs Grandad]

We were on Island Princess and laundry took 3 days to get back.

 

Will be on the Enchanted Princess for 26 days and wondering how they are doing with laundry these days.

 

For whatever it is worth in April Sky was next day.

We will be on the same Enchanted cruise.  It will all depend on how many Elites are onboard? 🤷‍♂️ 

 

Typically, TA's have lots of Elites.

Sky was ta and was next day. Island was not and three days.

Guessing hotel director decides how many crew members do laundry.

That was definitely our experience on our only TA (Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale 2017) with well over 1,000 fellow elites.  Upon boarding there was a message in our room to expect elite laundry to take 72 hours. But frequently it was longer.

[PacnGoNow]

Our TA with 850 Elites, return was 2-3 days on Enchanted. Most of the time, it was 2 days.

Also depends on how many suites and elites are USING the laundry service 🙂

What is the typical laundry turn around time for suite passengers.  Sailing on Enchanted in a week (ship is full I think) in a suite and I will need to launder garments from my days in Barcelona pre-cruise that I'd like cleaned for dinner (360 experience) on the second night of the cruise

I have normally received laundry back the next day. It could be same day if you send it out early enough in the morning. Even if you have it available early enough, it depends on when the cabin steward gets it to the laundry. However, I normally send laundry out in the evening, since we normally bathe and change after excursions or a sea day before dinner. I always tell the cabin steward to expect laundry on my bed when he services the cabin in the evening. Since suite laundry has priority over Elite laundry, it doesn't matter how many Elites are onboard.

 

My experience is pre-pandemic, since I haven't sailed Princess in a suite since the pandemic. I've noticed that the suite amenities no longer explicitly say one-day laundry like they did pre-pandemic, so I don't know if this has changed.

True

 

Thinking on the Island they had a lot of new crew members so thinking few assigned to laundry.

 

Since it took 3 days we sent out smaller bags every day or two, like many others I would imagine so overall longer times mean more loads of laundry for the laundry to deal with..

I had timely returns on my Enchanted cruise in July and no damage. They did lose some of my apparel for a day but ultimately found it, thank goodness. Nonetheless, that may not help you at all because there could be way more Elites on your cruise and/or the laundry crew could be completely different.

Is there a limit on how many bags you can sent per cruise? --for Elite?

A good tip may help you get your laundry in less then 24 hours.

I start out with a $20

[jwattle]

It's helpful if you're in a suite and Elite...

Yes, that is a big spoon I use to stir the pot...😁

Turn around time mostly related to number of  Elites on board. 3 days is pretty normal Considing that most Princess cruises have atleast 20% Elite on board. Have seen it go to 4 days on a TA with 35% Elite. Saw it at 1 day on 2 Alaska cruises with 5% Elite on board. As the number of Elite grow so does the turn around time.

Hope your luck is better at the casino.

 

On the other hand we use it frequently. No lost or damaged clothing at all.

You gotta grease the wheels if you want it same day.

Never had a problem
