Rare DaKahuna Posted September 7 #26 Share Posted September 7 3 hours ago, the penguins said: good luck. We loved our transpacific cruise - part of 5 x B2B to celebrate our retirement - 90 day total trip including 60 days on Solstice. Oh, I am so jealous. I could definitely do something like that but I think I am pushing my DW's limit with this 17 day one. She did enjoy the 15-day Panama Canal transit but I could not even talk her into extending our TP to include the Honolulu to Vancouver leg.

You could try not telling her until you are on the ship. 🤣😅🤣😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted September 7 #28 Share Posted September 7 A really great perk. We always send out our laundry. Just send underware, tee shirts and items that aren't good. However we never had a problem. We also, for a fee, might send dry cleaning and pressing items out also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampshirelad Posted September 7 #29 Share Posted September 7 Just be careful what you send. Anything such as a polo with a loose weave will come back one size down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does the 30 item/20 item when water restrictions rule come from? The laundry flyers I've seen say "Pack as much laundry as you can fit into one Celebrity Laundry bag, as long as it closes for wash, dry and fold."

Those are packages you pay for . . we are talking about the free bag of laundry for Elite and Elite + passengers. It's different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were/are talking about the Elite/Elite+ which is different and Free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops, sorry should have been clearer. We flew London to Auckland with a 2 night stop in LA to break the journey and the jet lag. We had a day touring LA got back late to the hotel and ate at the local Sizzlers (it didn't look to good so we settled for, no water, no salad and a well done burger - what could possible go wrong?). After we got back to the hotel my wife felt unwell and collapsed. The First Attenders (Fire Brigade) arrived and called for an ambulance. Apparently I had just finished getting our documents out of the safe when I too collapsed. The next I remember we were in 2 separate ambulances heading for hopefully the same hospital - thankfully it was On discharge we flew on to Auckland, did a 14 day self drive tour of the New Zealand's North Island. Then the 5 X B2B on Solstice Auckland to Seattle. From Seattle flew to Dallas to visit our grandson and finally back to London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought dehydration if I read the above before reading you saying you had food poisoning. Am happy to hear that it did not adversely affect your vacation.

Rare Dr. Cocktail Posted September 8 #39 Share Posted September 8 (edited) On our recent Apex cruise, the clothes that we needed (polos and "wrinkle free" chinos) arrived back so wrinkled as to be unwearable .... even where no one knows us. Then sent it back and used my pressing credit ....🙄 Edited September 8 by Dr. Cocktail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first few days in NZ we were very careful. But yes the rest of the trip was fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
