Steelers36 Posted February 23 #2 Share Posted February 23 It shouldn't matter whether you stuff everything in one bag or split it up. I think we did that once with separate instructions for one article. We rarely use the service and prefer to do our own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to separate items in the bags or names on the bags. My name is usually on both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted February 23 #4 Share Posted February 23 You just fill out the laundry slip and place items into the bag(s). It doesn't matter what items are in what bags. There is no limit on number of items, number of bags each time or in total for the cruise. Allow up to 72 hours for items to be returned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted February 23 #5 Share Posted February 23 The only thing we do is separate the "laundry" from the "cleaning" in different bags. Lately even the laundry has improved & they no longer seem to shrink or damage items in the dryer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fpsphil Posted February 23 #6 Share Posted February 23 As of late we just put our last name and item count on however many bags we are sending out. Our stewards have just been writing elite at the bottom and that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been specifying cold wash, cool dry on all my laundry for a while now (different ships) and I can't complain except for the way somethings have been ironed. At least they're clean & can be reused. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj59 Posted February 23 #11 Share Posted February 23 You can also ask the front desk for tokens and do your own. If you send out, the charge will appear on your account, but then credited, so don't panic, as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaning is a sort of dry cleaning, but not with chemicals. Something like the sheets you can use at home, but I don't know exactly what is used on board. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "cleaning" is some sort of a process that has now replaced the old "dry cleaning" process which used chemicals. I still don't know what the process actually involves but it does work in items that can't be washed. They use it on the crews uniforms. Perhaps someone who has taken the tour of the laundry facilities can better explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare karatemom2 Posted February 24 #16 Share Posted February 24 The other thing you can request is press only. Although we generally pack our nicer clothes like suits or dresses in a garment bag, they still get wrinkled. So, we often will give them to our steward right away after boarding to go to laundry for pressing only. We usually get them back next day which is super helpful if there is a formal night on one of the first sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather go iron in the laundry room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! That’s awful. We have always had a good experience but I don’t blame you for not wanting to use the service after that. I hope you were properly compensated!

Happened first day ( actually 3rd ) of a 26 day cruise and didn't report it. Figure live and learn and if we didn't get anything didn't want to be pissed off. On one of our first cruises on HAL, my wifes dress got burned from the sparklers durning the baked Alaska parade. We didn't even have to ask, we got a claim form for her dress and a bunch of OBC. The "good Ole Days" of customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use "cleaning" for lots of items like delicate tops, jackets & sweaters and "laundry" for the rest. In the last few years I've been specifying cold wash and cool dry for laundry & have had good success. If you don't dry articles at home in you hot dryer, they'll shrink them on the ship unless you specify otherwise. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
